Coming Soon
Ford Mustang S197 (5th Generation)
2005–2014 · S197 · coupe
The S197 brought retro Mustang styling back and ran for a full decade with two distinct phases. Pre-facelift (2005-2009) runs the 4.6L 3V V8 (300hp GT) or 4.0L Cologne V6. Post-facelift (2010-2014) introduced the 5.0L Coyote (412-420hp) in 2011, the GT500's 5.4L/5.8L supercharged V8, and the 3.7L Cyclone V6. Live rear axle the entire run — the last solid-axle Mustang.
Watch out: 4.6L 3V Triton spark-plug breakage in the head — the two-piece plugs seize and snap off. Use the Lisle 65600 extractor kit before forcing anything; a snapped plug is a head-off repair otherwise.
Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
