Ahem, the neighbors might disagree (wink, wink) if you forget to switch from Track or Sport Mode to Normal when you get back home in this light blue beast. Actually, not even that is silent enough, so it's great that it also comes with a Quite Mode.
The S650 seventh generation 2024 Ford Mustang was introduced at nationwide dealerships late last summer and had enough time to mesmerize Blue Oval fans and help the S550 get back on the throne for sports cars at the end of 2023. It's available in traditional guises – fastback coupe and Convertible from $30,920, but for that, you need to accept the 315-hp EcoBoost and its turbocharged four cylinders.
If you want a V8 under the hood or the wind in your hair, you will have to pony up at least $39k for an EcoBoost Convertible or almost $42k for a GT Fastback. Prices only go up from there, and the most expensive Convertible is the GT Premium at nearly $52k, while the Dark Horse Premium is no less than $63,480.
Yep, it's pretty expensive, frankly – but Ford knows there's no more competition as the sixth generation Chevy Camaro and the L-bodied Dodge Charger muscle sedan plus the Challenger are now partying in car Valhalla as production ended in December 2023. Some would also think that you would surely need a Dark Horse to enjoy the most potent Mustang out there without paying supercar money for the GTD. Well, some aftermarket outlets would tend to disagree and say that even the Mustang GT will do just fine.
Not long ago, Lethal Performance put that into the proper perspective when they revealed they had shuffled under the hood of their innocent-looking light-blue 2024 Ford Mustang GT with 486 horsepower, a 3.0-liter Gen 6 Whipple supercharger, and raised the total allowance to more than 808 rear-wheel horsepower! Sure, there was also a disclaimer – the car was "done with two different pulley sizes along with headers and octane booster added to the 93 octane." Still, that's mighty impressive, and we pray these modifications will become reliable soon enough to see these modded Mustangs head to the local quarter-mile dragstrip for some feisty action.
On their way there, at least this Whipple x Lethal Performance 2024 Ford Mustang GT will also make a lasting impression on audiophiles because the latest addition to the list of tunes came not long ago in the form of a complete Corsa Performance treatment. More precisely, the team got to wrench some more under the body, and the already-installed double HH pipe was connected to the Corsa Performance Xtreme Cat-Back Exhaust at RSA Race Solutions in Boynton Beach, Florida. By the way, don't forget to cycle through all the modes and fly-bys after watching the installation video embedded below!
