Talk:Ford Mustang (fourth generation)

Removing Main Image Rationale

 * Here it is: the guidelines for images of cars — WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions. Please note the following items in particular:
 * #5 — "they should include all original parts"
 * #11 — "Avoid taking pictures of heavily customized cars as they may not be very representative of the vehicles most common appearance, unless the text in context to the picture is dealing with the customization of the vehicle."
 * This article is not about customized Ford Mustangs. I hope quoting these Wiki conventions here will serve as notice to editors and thus avoid problems in the future.


 * Please also follow the guidelines as discussed on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles. Wikipedia articles and their images attempt to present the subject as it was originally made. There are more than enough "fair use" images of completely stock Ford Mustangs. There is no need to have customized Mustangs on this page. There are many websites that will gladly host images of customized cars. 206.125.176.3 (talk) 18:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

"Though the 1996-1998 Mustang GT maintained a similar horsepower output of the earlier cars, the smaller displacement engine 4.6 L engine produced less torque over a smaller range than the older Windsor engine resulting in a slightly slower vehicle" I'd like to see evidence of this. the older 302 had similar amounts of torque coming in earlier in the rpms, while the SN95 had it coming in later. Was often regarded as the "same" performance and not worse. Read Edmund's SN95 review from the 90's. If you have some proof/citation let me know. MustangAficionado (talk) 06:34, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I changed "a claimed 390hp..." to "resulted in 390 horsepower (291 kW) and 390 ft·lbf (529 Nm) of torque, which is often argued to be an underrated figure." It's common knowledge in the mustang community that these cars were publicized as 390hp for insurance reasons due to the Z06's 400hp region. They often put down from 365-380rwhp/rwtq which with an average of 15% drivetrain loss through the T-56 means the flywheel is closer to (370/.85 =) 435 —Preceding MustangAficionado (talk) 06:34, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

How many SN-95 2 mustangs there exist?
This article isn't quite clear about the different models that used the SN-95 2 body. As far as I can tell from the article, there is the Cobra, the Saleen, the Mach 1, the Bullitt, and the GT. Anything else? Hrgwea (talk) 05:04, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

What's the difference between the SN95 and the SN95-2? Subplanar (talk) 22:02, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
 * The SN-95 is the Mustang body style which was introduced in 1995. The SN95-2 is basically a re-panelling of the old car. The base stayed the same, that's why people call it something like v2 of the SN95 ;) Sunstarfire (talk) 13:01, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

I deleted some redundant info which could also be found on the Cobra-page. I also added the links to that page at the appropriate places. Sunstarfire (talk) 13:01, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Ford Mustang Phases
Due to the changes of the Mustang throughout the 1994-2004 era, I created "phases" to breakdown what each year changed internally/externally. Hope it helps! GT42CWR-MP (talk) 03:48, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Two tone interior
There is still two tone interior for 97 and 98 models. Specifically the cobra models have two tone interior options for those years — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.177.78.1 (talk) 07:53, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Notchback vs Hatchback
“A convertible returned, but the previous notchback and hatchback bodystyles were discontinued in favor of a single fastback coupe bodystyle.”

I suggest either correcting this or removing altogether. The canopy might have been a bit longer in the back than the previous generation, but it still not a fastback as the rear is not a hatch and drops down forward of the trunk. Tremorlok (talk) 07:27, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

You are right. The SN-95 is in no way a fastback.

Performance change for 1999
The article does not mention this except saying the 4.6L was upped to 260hp. No reason given but I can tell you. The 1999+ 4.6L was referred to as the PI (Power Improved) and was two changes, the new PI cylinder heads raised the compression a small amount, received changes in port shape and also featured better heat dissipation. The new intake manifold highlighted a more durable design (96-98 intakes were prone to cracking) as well as increased runner length and size. The combination of the two, heads and intake, resulted in the 35 HP increase. 67.140.232.183 (talk) 06:27, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
