Ford Mustang GT Convertible

The Ford Mustang underwent its first major redesign in 1994 in 15 years, with the new design code named SN-95, still based on the 'Fox' platform, with dramatically new styling from Patrick Schiavone which incorporated some stylistic throwbacks to earlier Mustang models. Despite being rear-wheel drive, the model helped to greatly revive the Mustang's popularity. The base model came with a 3.8L V6 engine that was rated at 145 hp (108 kW) while the GT featured the '5.0' 4.9L V8, that now utilized a 5.0L Thunderbird intake manifold and a larger 60mm throttle body, with 215 hp (160 kW). The successful Mustang Cobra model returned, with the GT-40 equipped 5.0L V8, now rated at 240 hp (179 kW), gaining an additional 5 hp from the implementation of a 70mm throttle body. The Mustang Cobra convertible was even chosen as the Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500, making it the third time the Mustang had such an honor. One thousand replicas were then made and sold by select dealers. Modifications to the car such as larger brakes, a different transmission, and suspension updates, reinforced its position as Motor Trend magazine's Car of the Year for the third time in 1994. In 1996, Mustang fans were hoping for the 5.8L (351 in³) V8 to make its return. However, this was not the case and instead the 5.0L GT engine was replaced by a 215 hp (160 kW) 4.6L SOHC 'Modular' V8 engine, derived from the same engine used for Lincoln models, as part of Ford's plan to modernize its engine lineup. The engine was a SOHC with two valves per cylinder and it featured a low-revving capacity, yet was torque-packed. The V8 Mustang Cobra was then upgraded with a 305 hp (227 kW) dual overhead cam configuration. Its block was cast by Teksid of Italy and was a cross-bolted aluminum design. It then had huge valves to high-rev its performance. Moreover, to compensate for the lack of low-end response the Cobra was given an intake manifold with dual runners, with the secondaries that didn't open until around 3000 rpm, thus making the Cobra very responsive at low speeds. Also, in 1996, the 3.8L V6 was upgraded to a 150 hp (112 kW) rating. Meanwhile, in 1998, the SOHC 4.6L V8 power was boosted to 225 hp (168 kW) through the implementation of a computer and larger exhaust tail pipes. That year was the last for the 'Round Body Mustang' and was also the only year that the 'Sports' package was offered, with unique black stripes that covered the hood and wheel wells, regardless of car color.
