The 1995 Mustang is an important vehicle to Ford for the coupe market segment. The GT is a member of a series of five trim levels for the Mustang which include SVT Cobra R, GT, GTS, and Base. The two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Ford. There is strong competition from vehicles from Lexus.

Engine Performance

The Mustang GT is equipped with a Ford 5.0 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The HO engine is mated to a Borg Warner 5-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Ford.

The Mustang uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

Mustang GT Statistics

The Mustang is 182.20 inches long, 71.80 inches wide, and 53.40 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 101.30 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.

The listed retail price in 1995 (MSRP) was $21,300, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The fuel system for the 1995 Mustang is a traditional SFI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 15.40 gallons.

The Mustang GT received a miles-per-gallon rating of seventeen in-city driving and twenty five when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

In Summary

The 1994 model began the promise of the Ford Mustang. The 1995 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Ford hopes that the Mustang GT will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
