The original MSRP for a 1990 Ford Mustang GT 2-door hatchback was $13,986. According to Edmunds
In 1990, the median household income in the United States was $29,943, while the average household income was $37,403. The median family income in 1990 was $35,350
Income went from over 2...
Those 2 or 3 Hp are a mesuring error. If they were honest they would not offer that, but there is a market and people will install it anyway, so why not?
The way the ECU works is requesting airflow then opening the throttle bodies.
Also according to some tuners, the GT has the max TQ tables...
My guess is the car throws a wheel speed sensor code, and it doesn't matter for that track use, or they mocked them and the car never saw the speed difference.
Mocking works but the issue is that you will throw off the speedometer and mileage. For street use its an issue since you will rack up...
PP will probably do better 0-60 or 1/4 time because it has more traction with the 275's and maybe the torsen locking...
Difference between 3.55 and 3.73 is 5% but the tires sligthly larger will narrow it down to 2.5% or so.
Unless the tune is slightly different and makes it feel faster, IDK...
Sadly, the engineering team designs the car and parts catalog. Then the marketing team decides on the pricing and packages.
I like the California Special with blue badges and blue all (blue car). I saw one and looks sharp.
Other than that I'd take a base GT.
The PP is only worth it for the...
Agree with the LT1. The hemi is powerful and sounds amazing, but the chassis where it sits its too heavy.
To compete Ford needs to drop the v6 ecoboost in the mustang. That would fix the torque problem.
It could go head to head with the upcoming Dodge 6 inline twin turbo,
I'd still get the V8...
I haven't done the A10 for the mustang yet, but here's the Camaro A10/M6 comparison.
The 2nd column compares the auto with manual gears. There are some in betweens that make the difference when it comes to acceleration.
The problem with the A10 is that 1st gear is already too short. IMO...
looking at my last post:
Comparing 3rd gears
GT Final torque @ wheel: 5.30* 415 = 2199
SS Final torque @ wheel: 4.85 * 455 = 2206.
0.3% difference. Should feel the same from max tq to redline, car weight and aero can make the difference here.)
Mustang GT+PP back to back with Camaro SS.
Camaro SS - TR6060 - 3.73 - 275/35r20
Mustang GT+PP
The mustang has shorter ratios but makes comparable max speed throught the gears because it can rev higher.
In comparison, the camaro has longer gearing because of the TR6060.
Look at the final...
I actually did some math and I think the 3.73 is there to correct wheel size...
The baseline is the regular GT, 3.55, with 255 tires. That's the "long gear" mustang.
Followed by GT + PP with 2.54% shorter final corrected by wheel size.... I don't think it's noticeable. Any 1/4 mile improvement...
Compared to the 60's and 70's 4 speed cars yes. You would do 65 @4000 rpm in that era.
Tall gearing it's a long trend, my 93 vette had the 6 speed and 6th gear was useless below 70mph. You were barely turning 1500 rpm.
I think keeping the RPM's low is key to pass the epa standards. Manufacurers...
5% difference. But I'd rather get the 3.73 if possible and and not bother with mods later.
3.73 to 4.09 is almost 10%.
I was impressed when I floored it at 1500rpm in 3rd. It moved.
Agree, I already settled for a A10 instad of a manual, this time I'll get the right one.
I mean 1200 rpm to...
Hi,
I just test drove a 24 Gt manual. I wanted to test one with PP and 3.73 gears but they didn't have any. So I drove one with 3.55, Premium.
My last recall driving a GT was that low end torque was not quite there compared to camaros. But I noticed that 1st to 4th gear had a nice low end...
