Ford Mustang: Performance of a Lifetime

Jun 14, 2021

The Ford Mustang reasserts its competitive side, returning with four powerful engine choices, three types of transmission, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and seven appearance packages. That’s only where this iconic ride’s performance features begin. Our Palatka, FL Beck Ford Lincoln selected two of many performance features that set this ride apart from any in its class.

Manual or Automatic Transmission

Should you get stick or auto? Either option is a winner in the Ford Mustang’s transmission architecture. Thanks to engines that average 300+ horsepower, both types of transmission have advantages. Automatic utilizes a computer to optimize gear ratios for buttery-smooth gear shifts. Manual entails fewer parts and no computer, combining a stick with race car-inspired, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The result is a more tactile transmission that’s ideal for racing, inclement weather, and diverse terrain.

Special Seven-Speed Dual Clutch

Among the Ford Mustang’s four available engines is a 760-horsepower 5.2-liter V8 paired with a special TREMEC seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. The ultimate in race car transmissions, this architecture uses twin gearboxes working in synchrony. Computer-controlled, dual-clutch cancels out the need for a clutch pedal, the twin gearboxes providing quicker, smoother shifting.
