The new 5.0 is one hell of an engine, and it’s installed in one hell of a car.

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 automobile that handles, gets decent fuel economy when driven mildly, and doesn’t consume your driveway like the much bigger and heavier Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger.

Since the Mustang went into production 46 years ago, Ford has made steady and incremental improvements over nearly every year. The automobile has benefited, rising to the top of the muscle-car heap as others stagnated or went out of production.
