Today’s mustangs include the SVO.  Ford introduced the SVO mustang in the 1980’s.  SVO stands for special vehicle operation.  The SVO was a new breed of muscle car.  The SVO had a turbocharged four-cylinder engine.  It could reach 60 miles per hour in less than 10 seconds.  Comoros and firebirds could not keep up with the SVO.

         New mustangs have kept the markings of the classic mustangs.  They still have hoods and short trunks.  They still have three vertical stripes in the taillights.  They still have the C-shaped scoop on the side panels.  All of these features are Mustang trademarks. 

.  Ford is still building fast mustangs.  Mustangs continue to beat firebirds and Camaros on the test track.  Today’s mustang buyers can choose from the standard mustang, the mustang GT, and the mustang cobra.

The GT has a high-output V-8 engine. The instrument panel looks like the cockpit of a fighter jet.  It has 16-inch speed-rated tires.  Speed-rated tires are made to go faster than regular tires.  Speed-rated tires are safer at high speeds.

The cobra has a 32-valve V-8 engine with 305 horsepower.  It reaches 60 miles per hour in five and one-half seconds.  The cobra speeds through the quarter-mile in 14 seconds.  It receives a superior rating in road-handling ability at 80 miles per hour on the test track.
