Ford Mustang 2005 Engine
|
|
Depending on which Mustang you choose, a 202-hp V-6 or a 300-hp V-8 engine will be supplied by the nice folks at the Flat Rock, Michigan, plant who will assemble the new Mustang. The 4.0-liter, 60-degree V-6 replaces the 3.8-liter 90-degree engine found in the ’04 model, and bests its output by seven horsepower. With 235 pound-feet of torque, it outdoes the former base engine by 10 pound-feet, too. A manual Tremec five-speed gearbox comes gratis, but a five-speed automatic can be ordered as well. The 4.6-liter V-8 is an evolution of the last GT’s engine, only now it’s crossed the magic 300-hp barrier, up 40 hp from before. Three-valve heads help it breathe better, even while running on regular unleaded, and electronic throttle control and a variable camshaft have been introduced with the upgraded engine. Either a five-speed manual or automatic can be mated to the 300-hp V-8
