There’s much for dedicated pony-car fans to play with in the Mustang that wears the 5.0.
GT, I have a mission: Experience the many toys the new Mustang offers in both the coupe and the convertible. That’s a pretty tall order as Ford throws everything the enthusiast driver might want at its seventh-generation pony car, as well as a healthy helping of tech, and it all improves upon an already great sports car.
It sounds pretty great, too, as have Ford V-8s since the 1960s. Drivers can adjust the sound through four levels, starting at subdued and ramping up to a Track setting that Ford recommends only be used at a racetrack due to the high decibels it can belt out. Driving alone on a canyon road, Track offers an appropriate soundtrack. When driving with anyone in the car, Track and Sport can drown out conversation. That’s a good thing or a bad thing, depending on who’s in the car with you.
Achieving those 0-60 mph times with the available 10-speed automatic transmission should be a piece of cake, but it’s not so easy with the manual.I pull into one of the many turnouts on a deserted stretch of road to try out another toy, launch control. To activate the feature, I hit the MyMustang button below the center screen then choose Track Apps. There I can set the car to launch anywhere from 2,500-7,000 rpm. Someone has set it at 4,900 rpm, so that’s what I try first.
