About 10 seconds after discovering Mustangs, the typical enthusiast begins dreaming about turning his car into that one special ride he'd just love to have. It could be anything-a hot street machine, a drag car-who knows? The concept is, our man has an idea of

Classic Design Concepts’ new Shaker is undeniably cool—in both form and function. It pays homage to a classic FoMoCo performance-styling cue first seen on the ’69 Mach 1, and a version of it will fittingly appear on the upcoming ’03 Mach 1.

During our last trip to the strip our coupe's clutch began to slip once it built up some heat after a couple runs. The slippage signaled the end, but on the street it wasn't as evident so we were able to live with it for a while. That is, until o

The binders on ’94-and-newer Mustang Cobras bite plenty hard and do an effective job of hauling Ford’s top dog down from speed in short order. But what if your budget or preference skews toward the earlier Fox-chassis ’Stangs? The answer is Ford

We wanted to see how much power we could reasonably produce with a stock-appearing Mustang. Previously, we've installed a Comp Cams Extreme Energy cam. With the addition of the cam, we were putting 244 hp and 297 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels.

When it comes to your Mustang's exhaust diameter, everyone knows bigger is not always better. Installing a 3-inch exhaust on your stock 5.0 will probably make you look cool--and stupid at the same time. Sure, 3-inch tips sticking out the back look re

For many 5.0 enthusiasts, installing a set of short-tube headers is the most labor-intensive task they'll perform. Unlike underdrive pulleys or an air meter, headers vary widely in their shape and fit. Add in the corrosive effects of heat cycling, the ha

Save for the revolutionary ’84-’86 SVO and the ’93 Cobra, the Fox Mustang’s disc/front, drum/rear brake arrangement left much to be desired in the braking department. Even when new, braking performance was not as hot as the performance co

Back in the April 2000 issue (“T5 Shifter Test Drive,” p. 39) we banged gears using all the performance T5 and T45 shifters on the market. Or so we thought. We totally forgot one of the originals—the Kirban Kwik 5-speed Shifter. The Kirban s

Products included in the AGS system Level 4 lowered our 1993 LX more than 1 inch all the way around. Next up in the suspension department will be Kenny Brown’s Chassis Stiffening kit and upper and lower control arms, which will bring the suspension up to

Coming home from work in the dark you see this stream of yellowish headlights on the freeway going in the opposite direction. And every so often, maybe every 20 or so cars, there’s one set of headlights that look different and totally cool. Over the

There comes a time in every Mustang enthusiast's life when he realizes the power harnessed by the stock motor is nice, but just not enough. We're all guilty of wanting more and more horsepower as time passes. The car we fell in love with, although cool as ever

When you think of easy horsepower bolt-ons, K&N air filters and underdrive pulleys are near the top of the list, but nothing gives you the horsepower boost and the aural pleasure of a performance-exhaust system. Furthermore, the addition of a performance e

Stepping up in the gear department has always provided discernable results. It's not one of those modifications that make you think you're accelerating faster, you are accelerating faster. We've all installed a performance component and felt our Mustang was fa

As most would agree, Ford did its homework with the new Mustang. Aside from the Cobra fiasco, the Mustang has grown into a car that is gaining more respect as time goes by. With proper driving techniques, ’99 GTs are running close to mid-13s, even quicker

If your Mustang is still breathing through the factory exhaust, you're missing out on improved sound quality and extra horsepower, especially if you're running a power adder. Even if your car has only simple bolt-ons, a free-flowing exhaust brings

We normally think of a suspension system as coil springs, struts, shocks, and control arms. When these parts are selected to perfectly complement each other for a specific handling purpose, they can be considered a system. But in reality, they are just a selec

The Mustang’s suspension is pretty good for a production car, providing good street handling and a livable ride. Though a ton of fun, the Fox- and SN-95-body Mustangs will easily exhibit tail-wagging tendencies and excessive body roll. Ultimate handling i

Subframe connectors are an important component in the battle for traction with a Mustang, but many people don’t understand how something that stiffens the chassis can possibly help the car launch, so here’s the deal. The stiffer the chassis is, the m

It doesn’t take much to twist a Mustang’s frame into oblivion. We’ve all seen examples of drag-race Mustangs that have been run hard without any kind of chassis reinforcements. Tell-tale signs are little dents on the roof and waves in the quarte

Stock Mustang steering wheels are not pretty. Sure, they serve the basic purpose of allowing you to steer the car, and they’re not really ugly, but they don’t inspire a performance bent, either. Thankfully, bolting on an aftermarket wheel is brutally

A good, loud, obnoxious exhaust system is usually one of the first mods performed on a 5.0 Mustang, but the first trip around the block points out a weak link in the Mustang’s chain—the sound system. Hearing two-chamber Flowmasters may be music to so
