What Break's in 2005-2011 Ford Mustangs - Got An '05-'11 Ford Mustang? Here's What's Gonna Break

No doubt the Ford Mustang is a survivor. The progenitor of all other ponycars is the only one of its kind to remain in continuous production for more than 45 years (the Corvette is not a ponycar, so no letters, please). The current, fifth-generation platform has been around since 2005, and racers are thoroughly acquainted with its vices and virtues.No doubt the Ford Mustang is a survivor. The progenitor of all other ponycars is the only one of its kind to remain in continuous production for more than 45 years (the Corvette is not a ponycar, so no letters, please). The current, fifth-generation platform has been around since 2005, and racers are thoroughly acquainted with its vices and virtues. As with any stocker, once these lead-foots got their hands on the car and started ramping up the power, weak points inevitably manifested themselves. To find out what they are and what you can do about them, HOT ROD consulted leading Ford tuners, including JPC's Justin Burcham, Paul Svinicki at Paul's High Performance, and Lethal Performance's Jared Rosen. These guys actively tune, race, and sell Mustang performance parts. If there's a way to break these cars, they've found it. Unless otherwise stated, all quoted power levels except Ford's factory engine ratings are at the rear wheels, not the flywheel. There can be up to a 15 percent loss through the drivetrain.
