The 2005 Mustang, to be released by Ford forty years after the original Mustang, will be both a departure and a return to tradition, as Ford steps away from the aging Fox chassis for its flagship car, yet brings back styling cues from the most popular Mustangs of the past. Ford found inspiration for the new Mustang from its 1967 Fastback model. The 2005 retro-look pony car will include a 4.6-liter, V-8 engine with 300 horsepower — the highest horsepower of any previously built Mustang. This book traces the new Mustang’s evolution from the drawing board to the production line to the street. A photographic celebration of the new car, this book delivers the inside story behind the rejuvenation of one of the most storied cars in automotive history.

Maximize the potential of your 2005-2010 Mustang with this new book. The Ford Mustang has seen quite an evolution in more than 50 years of existence. Times change, consumer demands change, and sometimes, we stop and look at where we are and wonder how we got here. Ford designers and its customers were thinking the same thing in the early 2000s. The evolution from the classic original design to the New Edge styling of the 1999-2004 models had some scratching their heads. Ford took a bold turn back to the roots of the Mustang with the fifth-generation models that debuted for the 2005 model year. Echoing the Mustang fastback design of the 60s, Ford inspired a path of retro design that the Camaro and Challenger followed shortly thereafter. The move proved incredibly popular with enthusiasts. Of course, with car enthusiasts, the immediate thought was, "How can we make this new Mustang better?" In Ford Mustang 2005-2010: How to Build & Modify, Mustang expert Mike Vrh takes you through the entire car, system by system, to explore ways to get more performance from fifth-gen Mustangs. Included are chapters on engine modifications, brake and exhaust upgrades, power adders, chassis and suspension upgrades, cooling system modifications, as well as EFI and tuning tips. Wheels and tires, differentials, electronic upgrades, and more are also covered. The 2005-2010 Mustangs are finding their way into the affordable category at present with warranties expiring and acquisition costs being very reasonable. As with all generations of the Mustang, there is a robust aftermarket to explore for performance parts and accessories. This book covers it all and will help you make your Mustang everything you want it to be. Add a copy to your performance library today.
