2024 Ford Mustang orders: Here's how buyers are configuring their pony cars

We've finally had a chance to the drive the 2024 Ford Mustang, including being wowed by the thoroughly awesome drift brake. During that experience, we actually got a chance to sample several of the many Mustang body style, engine, transmission and package combinations available for 2024. And that's before the Dark Horse launches and any sort of Shelby versions are announced.

As before, the 2024 Ford Mustang is available as a coupe or a convertible. There is then standard EcoBoost four-cylinder engine as well as the V8-powered GT, which gets a power bump with the active exhaust option. You can also equip the GT with either a six-speed manual or a 10-speed automatic -- the EcoBoost is auto only for 2024. A key option is the Performance package, which adds the drift brake, and opens the door to the further option of the MagneRide adaptive suspension. There's then a key pair of appearance packages: Night Pony (sounds like a Stevie Nicks song) and Bronze. One has blacked-out trim and wheels, while the other, you guessed it, has bronzed-out.
