MUSTANG 4.6 GT (300 HP) RWD

About the Mustang 4.6 GT (300 Hp) RWD

The S197 Mustang GT brought the retro look back and backed it up with the Three Valve 4.6-liter V8. 300 hp from a modular motor in a chassis that finally had independent rear suspension — wait, no, still a live axle. Ford kept the solid rear end because Mustang buyers wanted burnouts, not lap times. Five-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, and styling that made people stop and look again. The S197 was the Mustang that proved nostalgia sells. And at 300 hp, it had enough substance behind the style.
