Pumped-up Mustangs not doing it for you? A limited upgrade package developed by Ford Performance manifests itself in a drag-strip special — the Ford Mustang Cobra Jet. Well, the SVT Mustang Cobra lays claim to both those surprises and makes a strong case that the latter abetted by a new horsepower version of the four-cam, aluminum-block 4.
The Mach 1 earns its silver medal because it is brute fun. Drop the hammer, and with no especially refined technique, 60 mph is yours in a scalding 5. The first two shifts of the notchy box leave skid marks, and the fourth shift puts paid to mph. The three-valve heads permit an increase of 40 horses and 18 pound-feet of torque, although both improvements are realized at loftier revolutions. Remember when horses were enough to win Indy or set a Bonneville record?
The Shelby lunges forward with a fearsome roar when you mash it, the acceleration making you startlingly heavy in the seat. Even so, Ford thought our Ford figures the car should run Maybe so—we await the proof. The horsepower and lb-ft of torque, the latter on a gloriously flat curve that peaks at rpm, are achievements. With a car like this, you inevitably focus on the numbers. Ferociously tall gearing means third gear is good for mph and first gear is long enough to reach highway speeds.
Even so, the quarter-mile passes in We also saw an even 1. With a six-speed manual sprouting up between the seats, the V-8 makes very short work of the first three gears.

Zero to 60 mph is accomplished in 4. We came away from this hushed GT thinking about refinement, not tinnitus. The base GT reaches 60 mph in 4. Perhaps not stunning numbers these days, but the test car did weigh pounds. With its pound carbon-fiber wheels and stickier Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, the R at pounds makes it to 60 in 3.
Guess what? Stats that matter to them more are skidpad grip and braking distances. There, the and R pull 0. The Ford Mustang's punchy turbocharged 2. If you recall, the last EcoBoost we tested was a example that had four fewer gears to mess around with. The extra speeds help in a straight line, as the EcoBoost goes from zero to 60 mph in 5. That's an improvement of 0. Instead of making us pine for our own, Ford sent one for a 40,mile long term test, and we recently got our car out to the test track.
It makes good use of its horsepower on the way to 60 mph in 4. It's slower than the less powerful GT to 60 mph because the Bullitt comes with a sweet manual transmission with a cue-ball shifter, a concession that's worth the half-second loss. Long-Term Review. Muscle cars are at that age where the need to add fiber to every meal is very important.
