2016 Ford Mustang: It’s Back

The Mustang has been an icon in the automobile world forever. It is one of those classics that have been around since what seems like the beginning, and it one of the first models that comes to mind when you are thinking about classic sports cars. Well it is back and better in 2016.

Let’s start at the most important place, under the hood. The most important aspect to the Mustang has always been its power. In 2016, there are four different levels of power available. First, the 3.7 liter V6 engine. This engine offers 300 horsepower along with 280 pounds per foot of torque. Second, the 2.3 liter Eco Boost engine. This one delivers 310 horsepower and 320 pounds per foot of torque. Third, the 5.0 liter V8 engine. This gives off 435 horsepower along with 400 pounds per foot of torque. Last, but most certainly not least, the amazing 5.2 liter V8. This engine revs up 526 horsepower along with an astounding 429 pounds per foot of torque. You can choose the perfect amount of power you are comfortable with for the perfect Mustang experience. Which will you choose?

There is so much more that makes this model one of the most powerful Mustang’s to date. From under the hood, to the wheels that take it places, the only word to describe it is perfection. It is back ladies and gentlemen.

Yahoo Autos Announces 2016 Epic Ride of the Year Winner: Ford Mustang Shelby GT350

A few years ago Justin Timberlake tried to bring sexy back.  Well that pales in comparison to what Ford is bringing back.  The Bronco and Ranger are topping the list for comebacks of the year.

When we tested 22 of the most important new models of 2016, searching for our Yahoo Autos Epic Ride of the Year, these were the traits we were looking for. And while the competition was hot, one vehicle stood tall above the rest, delivering a driving experience reminiscent of the first time you fell in love.   The word “epic” is often thrown around loosely. But the 2016 Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang truly defines the term.

It’s a car that ensures every fiber in your body tingles before you’ve even turned it on. And when you do, grown adults giggle like pre-pubescent youths, its 526 horsepower, 5.2-liter flat-plane crank V-8 gurgling and popping like a tectonic shift capable of demolishing an entire continent.  While the Mustang’s power is intense, its speed remains usable day-to-day. And the noise it makes and the fact that it revs to 8,250 rpm and its precise manual shifter and its Recaro seats that hug you tighter than a mythological serpent. It’s so engaging, so evocative, so American, and, well, so epic. It’s everything a Mustang should be. It’s everything the fabled GT350 nomenclature deserves.
