2020 FORD MUSTANG
HIGH PERFORMANCE PACKAGE:
LESS WEIGHT, MORE THRILLS
T
en years ago, a 4.6-liter V8 powered Ford Mustang GT
produced 315 horsepower, 325 lb-ft of torque, and
sounded sweet. Today, Ford has a new package for the
base Mustang with an engine that’s half the size and half the
number of cylinders, yet makes 332 horsepower and 350 lb-ft
of torque. Yes, a turbocharger helps. At least the V8 still sounds
better.
Ford’s latest creation is called the High Performance
(Hi-Po) Package, a $4995 option available on the base Mustang, dampers, and, of course, nice and sticky Pirelli P-Zero summer
which swaps out the standard 2.3-liter turbocharged four- tires, 255/40R19. Ford also added GT brakes, 13.9-inch rotors

waking up in London with the dense fog and
misty weather but by registration time it was
sunny and nice. Cars started showing up by 8 am and
the field very quickly filled up with a fantastic 231
cars. Beautiful, quality cars of all sorts.
I need to thank our sponsors first and
foremost, Nielsen Ford, Mike DeLeo and his staff,
Power Portal, Peter and Kevin for their continued
support. We also had five vendors as well as our
regular food truck, Jersey Johnny and Mr. Softee Ice
Cream Truck
As most of you know, just a week prior to the
show our DJ Chris was in a horrific motorcycle
accident resulting in the loss of his left foot but even
with all he had going on he reached out to a friend of
his, Matt from Monteray Entertainment to fill in for
him and all went very well.
In talking to Mike from Nielsen Ford during
the day, he was over the top happy with everything
which brings me to our club. This show would not
have been the great success that it was without the
amazing, tireless help of all the members that day.
Maureen & I owe you all a huge thank you, it made
the day go very well. So again, thank you and let’s
start planning for next year.

Driving the handling pack is a noticeable step up from

MagneRide shocks tighten things up noticeably. The car tucks
