Why can't Ford Mustangs be front wheel drive?
Added (1). What would happen if a Mustang was front wheel drive?
Most high performance sports cars are rear wheel drive. A RWD car spreads the weight of its drivetrain more evenly front-to-rear and thus makes it more stable at higher speeds.
Because we aren't communists and this is America.
You should be ashamed for asking such a question.
Muscle cars are over powered by design. On front wheel drive vehicles the weight transfer under heavy acceleration is backwards away from the front wheels. Most muscle car drivers want the heavy surge of acceleration off the line, front whee ldrive just spins the wheels if over powered.
Because nobody will buy a FWD Mustang.
Because that model was designed to be RWD. Seems pretty obvious dude.
Too much power with a mustang.
Ford once proposed a FWD Mustang for generation four, the outcry from Mustang fans -- not only was it wrong-wheel drive, but you couldn't get a V8 into it -- that they shelved the idea entirely,. The FWD car they came with was sold for two product cycles was called the Ford Probe, and it was basically a cousin to the Mazda MX-6 coupe.
Sports cars are never front wheel drive
- I searched on cars.com and found Ford Mustangs with FWD, AWD and 2 wheel drive, are those ads fake? Seriously, there's listings on cars.com with Ford Mustangs and even camaros and challengers that was listed as having AWD or fwd or 2 wheel drive. This makes no sense to me because as Far as I know, these cars only come in RWD! So are these ads false or do these cars actually have the option of changing the drivetrain?
- Insert the key and doesn't turn. Steering wheel locked. Shifter stuck in park. Can start by mechanical part under wheel. What could it be? 1999 ford f150 won't come out of park or start even when I start it using the mechanical part under the steering wheel
- Will an all wheel drive wheel bearing fit a rear wheel drive wheel bearing? The front passenger wheel bearing is bent on my 96 ford explorer but someone with a 97 ford explorer sold me one will it still fit an work? Ours is a rear wheel drive the other car is an all wheel drive please give info I don't know much about cars
- Should the revised 2016 Ford Explorer ditch front-wheel drive for rear-wheel drive? Which midsize, non-luxury SUV uses RWD these days? Dodge Durango, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Toyota 4Runner, a used Chevrolet TrailBlazer or GMC Envoy. Not to mention the Nissan Xterra.
