2015 Ford Mustang Eco-Drive: Saggy Just Like Its Rear

However the 2015 Mustang is one of the nimblest cars that journalists have had a ride in. in offers 305 horses thanks to the 2.3 litre turbo, the performance package, while the six speed paddle shift automatic isn’t the nimblest of transmissions.

The track package takes away all rubber in the front suspension links that have been responsible for transmitting lateral forces from the chassis to the tires and has replaced these with metal on metal ball joints. The suspension cradle has been isolated and this allows for immediate reactions to steering inputs, along with more feedback thanks to the steering, which is adjustable.

The suspension geometry offers more magic and this has been made possible in part due to the front struts double ball joint lower attachment. This has allowed for a virtual steering axis by way of a cone, which has the effect of moving the steering axis point more outboard, which gives an increase in the road feel.

The 2015 Mustang Ecoboost body seems to maintain a reasonable even keel and the grip from the summer tires, which are 255/40R-19 Pirelli P Zero offer minimal squeak. Space is freed for big brakes thanks to the double ball joints. Performance package break measure 14.9 inches and are clamped by four piston fixed callipers.

On the back there is 13.0 inch vented and the rear suspension allows more anti-dive geometry than a live axle could, which goes towards flatter braking. The back and front suspension work together to resist squat, dive and lift more than ever before.

The engine sounds snarly despite the fact that the car has the turbo muffling exhaust, but final sound tuning hasn’t been made yet.
