Ford Mustang GT Convertible

For 1994, the Mustang underwent its first major redesign in 15 years. The new design, code named "SN-95" by Ford, was still based on the "Fox" platform, but featured strikingly different styling by Patrick Schiavone that drew on some cues from prior Mustangs. The car stayed rear-wheel drive, and helped to bring back the brand's popularity. The base came with a 3.8 litre V6 engine with an output of 145 hp (108 kW), with the GT having the 4.9 litre "5.0" V8, utilizing the 5.0L Thunderbird intake manifold and a larger 60mm throttle body, delivering 215 horsepower. The successful Cobra model also returned, with the GT-40 fitted 5.0 L engine, and rated at 240 hp (179 kW). This included the addition of a 70mm throttle body. Mustang Cobra convertible was chosen to be the Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500, becoming the third Mustang to have this honour. 1000 replicas were made and distributed by certain dealers. To improve performance, larger brakes, a different transmission, and different suspension setup were added. 1994 was also the third time since the car’s launch in 1964 that Motor Trend magazine rated it “Car of the Year”. In 1996, Mustang enthusiasts anticipated the return of the 5.8 litre (351 in³) V8. However, instead, the 5.0 GT engine was replaced with a 4.6 litre SOHC "Modular" V8 pipping out 215 hp (160 kW). This was due to Ford’s plans to modernise their engine selection. The engine had two valves for every cylinder, one for intake and one for exhaust, and although it was SOHC, the maximum power output was reached at 5000 rpm. The Cobra variant was updated with a 305 hp (227 kW) dual over head cam configuration of the 4.6 L V8. The Cobra’s block was created by Teksid in Italy, and was made from aluminium with added cross-bolting. While the heads had split ports and larger valves, the Mustang Cobra was optimised to be used on the street, and an intake manifold with dual runners was added. This delayed the opening of the secondaries until above 3000 rpm for increased response at low speeds. The 3.8 litre V6 went up to a 150 hp (112 kW) in 1996. In 1998, the SOHC 4.6 L V8 sky rocketed to 225 hp (168 kW), thanks to a more aggressive computer and larger exhaust tail pipes. Taking into account the size of the valve covers, when the hood was popped open, the V6 Mustang was far more sophisticated than the V8, mimicking the style of the 5.0 engine bays. Moreover, 1998 was the last year of the "Round Body Mustang" as well as the only year for the “Sports” package, characterised by a black stripe running along the hood and wheel wells, regardless of the car colour.
