Mustang News

The official brochure for the 2019 Mustang is now available.

You can download the 2019 Mustang brochure inside.

We’ve previously detailed the 2019 Mustang changes, which include the following, while the 2019 GT350 receives some performance upgrades.

For the second year in a row, Ford’s 5.0L V8 which powers the Mustang GT and Bullitt, has been named to the Wards Auto 10 Best Engines list for 2019!

Says Wards Auto: the latest iteration of the 5.0L V-8 in the ’19 Ford Mustang GT – and in particular, the pitch-perfect version in the Bullitt – makes us smile every time we punch the throttle. Read the rest inside.

The Mustang features good rigidity from the factory, but sports cars can always benefit from more. 

Steeda says their S550 Rear IRS Subframe Support Braces can help with that. Connecting in three (3) strategic points & triangulating the points help eliminate deflection from side to side & front to back. It also offers rigidity – helping the Mustang’s subframe to become more planted in place.

“I detuned my Mustang” are words never before said by a (sane) Mustang owner, but that’s exactly what M6G member 16mach1 did after reaching Dodge Demon levels of power and speed in his 2016 Mustang GT. Why you may ask would someone neuter the beast in the photo above?!

For this owner it was about the streetability of his Mustang – specifically, the loss of it at lofty levels of tuning.

A close collaboration between Chad McQueen, McQueen Racing, Steeda and Galpin Auto Sports has created a special Bullitt Mustang that is special enough to have been approved by the legendary star’s son.

Building upon the 2019-20 Bullitt Mustang platform and adding enhanced performance and handling, wrapped in an even more menacing package — the Steve McQueen Edition Bullitt Mustang is a 300-unit (per model year) limited production run that features a Bullitt Mustang with naturally aspirated 500HP or supercharged 775HP powertrain options, exclusive McQueen Racing performance powertrain, suspension and handling parts developed in collaboration with McQueen Racing and Steeda Autosports.

The limited edition vehicle will only be available in Dark Highland Green and will have exclusive Steve McQueen Edition 20-inch aluminum wheels, Nitto NT555 G2 ultra high performance tires, available four-point roll bar with rear seat delete kit and 6-point safety restraints and an owner’s package that includes commemorative and collectible items.

Ford recently began taking new applications for the 2019 Ford GT. Besides actually having the $450k to afford the Ford GT, the application asks for applicants to show their Ford connections and Ford collections. The applicant can also supplement the application  with a publicly accessible 60 second video showing “Your Style.”

The Shelby GT350R is currently the closest thing you can get to a Ford GT in Ford’s lineup. And M6G member enzo101 has used his to submit this video for his Ford GT application, in which he tells Ford: “I’m not here to tell you why I want a new GT. I’m here to show you.” Check out how enzo101 shows Ford that he should be chosen for a Ford GT using his GT350R.

Tires are hands down the most important component when it comes to going faster at the track.

To help share and advance knowledge of track tire setups for the GT350, this track tire compilation thread is being compiled for comparing specs, data and notes.

So far, M6G members have shared their experience and data for ultra performance tires such as the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2, Michelin Pilot Super Sports, Toyota R888R and Goodyear F1 SuperCar 3R. We have collected data for event type, tire life, tire pressure, camber and more.  So come share your track tire setup or just read and learn about tires!

We’ve teamed up again with our friends at J&M Products for another Mustang6G Giveaway Contest!

After several years of revisions and testing J&M Products/Hotpart.com has finally released its S550 Mustang rear shock mounts.

J&M Products manufactures these performance shock mounts from high strength grade 50 steel and then fully TIG welds them. These high strength bearing mounts replace the weak cast aluminum shock mount. Unlike the factory mounts, the J&M mounts use a specially designed heat treated Chrome-Moly spherical bearing that stops the deflection caused by the soft rubber bushing. By removing the rubber, J&M mounts eliminate the deflection that gives the car a bouncy feeling when using stiffer shocks or lowering springs.
