It is very fast and reliable.

A 310-horsepower four-cylinder and a 460-horsepower V8 are the two chief engines powering the Mustang. Both come standard with a six-speed manual transmission, while a ten-speed automatic is available. The standard EcoBoost engine, prized for its fuel efficiency, is no slouch. Standard launch control and electric line-lock (a track-only feature designed to heat up the rear tires while the car is in place) bolster this 2.3-liter engine under acceleration. However, itÕs the 5.0-liter V8 that is the crown jewel. Found in the Mustang GT and Mustang Bullitt (475 horsepower in the Bullitt), this engine sounds as brawny as it feels and is the obvious choice for thrill seekers.
