Paddle Shifted Turbo 400 Street Driving: Twin Turbo 5.0 Mustang

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Take the Mustang onto the highway to assess its drivability and performance at cruising speeds. Monitor engine RPMs, transmission behavior, and overall comfort over an extended period. Note any specific observations, such as the absence of overdrive with the Turbo 400 transmission and how this affects engine speed at typical highway velocities (e.g., 60-80 MPH). Conduct a simulated 'roll race' from a rolling start with another vehicle (e.g., a white Cadillac CT5-V) to test mid-range acceleration and traction. Observe any wheelspin or stability issues when accelerating aggressively at speed.

Goal: Evaluate high-speed drivability and mid-range acceleration.

Tools and materials

2019 Ford Mustang Ford — The primary vehicle for testing
Cadillac CT5-V Cadillac — Companion vehicle for simulated roll race
Paddle Shifters — For manual gear selection
Turbo 400 Transmission — Custom automatic transmission with manual shifting capability
