\"2011<\/a><\/p>\n

The new 5.0 is one hell of an engine, and it\u2019s installed in one hell of a car.<\/em><\/p>\n

The ingredients needed to make a Mustang: horsepower, horsepower, and more horsepower, plus a chrome pony, a glove box, and a cigarette lighter. Thankfully, Ford has embellished on this old-fashioned recipe with a car that handles, gets decent fuel economy when driven mildly, and doesn\u2019t consume your driveway like the much larger and heavier Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger.<\/p>\n

Since the Mustang went into production 46 years ago, Ford has made steady and incremental improvements over almost every year. The car has benefited, rising to the top of the muscle-car heap as others stagnated or went out of production. This year the changes are big, starting with a new four-cam, 32-valve, aluminum-constructed 5.0-liter V-8 (well, actually, it\u2019s a 4.951-liter, but we\u2019ll concede the difference).<\/p>\n
