Ford has marked the 45th anniversary of the Mustang with a major redesign not only of the bodylines but also the interior, particularly of the dashboard. The steering, suspension and V8 engine have also been reviewed. The Mustang comes in coupe and convertible models, in a base version with a V6 engine or a GT powered by a V8.
Interior and trunk
Front seat access is relatively easy for a sport coupe. Its very comfortable seats have good side support, fine for anything short of racing the car on a track. The driving position is very good and the driver’s seat is equipped with lumbar adjustment. Legroom is generous, but headroom is a bit tight for tall people.

This template is supplied with the SPC kit. The template will fit between the two tabs, and stay in place by itself.

The AEM Cold Air System is the result of extensive development on a wide variety of cars. Each system is engineered for the particular application. The AEM Cold Air System differs from all others in several ways. We take the inlet air from outside of the engine compartment where the inlet air is considerably cooler than the hot underhood air. The cooler inlet air temperature translates to more power during the combustion process because cool air is denser than warm air. AEM has conducted extensive inlet air temperature studies and we have seen temperature reductions of up to 50 degrees by pulling air from outside of the engine compartment. The air mass flow to the engine is increased because of the increased airflow and reduced inlet temperature, which translates to more power. The AEM Cold Air Systems are 50 states Street Legal (some models and years still pending) and come with complete instructions for ease of installation.

This shock is pressurized to 250 psi nitrogen. This pressure is not an adjustable feature of the shock. Unless there is a leak, the shock should not normally lose pressure. If the shock damping becomes soft or mushy (after an extended period of time or number of miles) the shock may need to be serviced which includes shock oil and a nitrogen charge. In this situation, re-pressurizing the shock alone may not improve the action of the shock. The shock should be returned to Works Performance Products, Inc., or to a qualified shop that has the appropriate tools, training and nitrogen handling equipment.
