What exactly is the Mustang GT Performance Pack 2? It’s a GT with a 5.0-liter Coyote V8 with 460 HP and 420 lb.-ft of torque mated to a six-speed manual transmission in the best tradition of classic muscle cars. With the 0 to 60 mph times in the low four-second range, the Performance Pack 2 is fast. But numbers are just half the story. The essence of the Performance Pack is in its handling, braking, and lower weight (via Road and Track).

For $6,500 above the price of a regular GT, you get chassis and aerodynamic improvements, stiffer springs, beefier anti-roll bars, performance tires, bigger brakes, and racing seats. This package transforms the standard Mustang GT from a great sports car into a fantastic driver’s machine.
