If not for progress, the new V-8 Mustang might be even more fun.
So equipped, this Mustang GT should have laid down some impressive test numbers. Should have. At the track, a 3,500-rpm clutch dump launched it to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds as it galloped on through the quarter mile in 12.5 seconds at 114.7 mph. Both results rival earlier V-8 manual Mustang models; ahit 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and the quarter mile in 12.6 seconds at 113.1 mph, while a 2019 Bullitt needed 4.6 seconds to reach 60 mph and 12.9 seconds for the quarter at 112.5 mph.
. It's geared more for everyday cruising and fun backroad blasts, though it could use improvement there, too.In the 2024 Mustang GT, only one interface is analog: the six-speed shifter and the clutch with which it works. Nearly everything else that matters is electronically controlled, executed to varying degrees of success. We take issue with two areas in particular.
We'll call this electronic overreach tolerable, but another major interface goes off the digital deep end: that tyrannical touchscreen. Damn near every adjustment is controlled by it, from entering a navigation destination to adjusting the HVAC fan speed. Attempting to hold a lane with one hand while trying any basic function with the other can get sketchy, quick.
You have to be assertive with the six-speed, however, given that its hefty action takes strength to work between the short, direct throws that feel fortified for slamming. Where it's mounted on the center tunnel reflects the Mustang's overall ergonomic refinement . Clutch takeup is good at being kicked for quick shifts or finessed for smoothness.
