Passion
By offering owners officially sanctioned and warranty compliant tuning parts direct through dealers Ford is to be applauded for supporting those looking for more out of their Mustangs. It’s not quite the level of the American Ford Performance catalogue with its crate engines and all the rest. But it’s a start and, while the Mustang is still a relatively new sight on UK roads, it’s good to see owners embracing US tuning culture. Even with all these bits the car you see here is still cheaper than a BMW M4 but punches harder than a Nissan GT-R. It’s the very essence of democratised horsepower and a powerful display of what American bang for buck really stands for.
Price tag of our car: 2016 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT Fastback, £38,095 new, £53,824 with Ford Performance Parts upgrades as tested.
