The 2024 Mustang GT Sustains the Heart of a GT
The 2024 Ford Mustang GT still has a lot to offer car enthusiasts. First, the roar of the Coyote engine creates excitement for anyone listening, and once the GT fans press the start button, a vibration that never gets old follows. Plus, with the optional exhaust system, enthusiasts can decide whether they want to make their neighbors hate them or not. Furthermore, Mustang GT fans can let the V-8 engine make a loud, powerful sound with the valves open, or they can have a low rumble in the background with them closed.
Despite that, the updated five-oh engine produces an adequate amount of low-end torque that makes revving it to get off the line unnecessary. The power builds in a classic atmospheric way, accelerating it to the redline, a trick, and a treat. The Mustang GT’s accelerator is sharp and has a near-EV responsiveness, making it easy to lunge forward with just a slight flexing from the driver’s ankle, even from a slow roll.
Regarding the six-speed, Mustang enthusiasts must be assertive since it requires strength to work between the short, direct throws that feel fortified for slamming. However, the shifter’s position on the center tunnel reflects the Mustang’s overall ergonomic refinement, and it can accommodate even taller drivers, like your 6-foot-10 author. The clutch takeup is good, and GT drivers can kick up for quick shifts or finesse for smoothness. The gear changes are digitally assisted via automatic rev-matching on downshifts, but enthusiasts can access them through the touchscreen.
The electronic handbrake wasn’t worth testing its drift potential in public. However, it is still helpful for standard handbrake duty. Its rubbery resistance initially feels odd compared to the notchy, cable-actuated handles of old. Also, it returns to its resting position after a pull, which can take some getting used to. Ford Mustang drivers can release it by nudging it down or pulling it away.
One of the Mustang GT’s most enjoyable electronic interfaces is its fantastic by-wire brake pedal. It has just enough softness at the top to allow for easy and smooth stops during everyday driving. However, it firms up significantly and produces confidence-inspiring deceleration when necessary. During spirited driving in summer weather, the consistency and feel of the brake pedal remained the same no matter the season.
The optional MagneRide suspension dampers on the 2024 Mustang GT provide a synthesis of plushness and stability, making them suitable for various driving conditions, from traffic-packed commuting to canyon ripping. Undulating pavement can agitate the car slightly in its firmest setting, but it’s not overly stiff or punishing. The softest mode offers great comfort without sacrificing poise when cutting a corner off the boulevard. During long highway cruises, the MagneRide suspension dampers prove their touring aptitude, and on twisting two lanes, they provide a sophisticated connection with the pavement. These features contribute to the 2024 Mustang GT’s extraordinary breadth of capability.
If the S650 Mustang GT is the last V-8-powered, manual pony car, and it very well could be, it’s worth cherishing for that alone. Fortunately, 2024 is just the beginning of this chapter in the V-8 Ford Mustang story, and there’s still more fun to come.
