If you want to waste a few hours of your day customizing your own 2024 [Ford]() Mustang, you can with the [online configurator]() that just went live today. Just don't get caught doing it at work. Or do—I'm not responsible for your professional well-being. There are three different [Mustang]() powertrains available: EcoBoost, GT, and Dark Horse. Premium versions of each make for a total of six different available trims. Adding to that, you can also get the EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, and GT Premium as convertibles if you'd like. Prices range from $33,160 for the entry-level EcoBoost all the way up to $64,860 for the Dark Horse Premium. ![2024 Ford Mustang Dark Horse with optional carbon fiber]() *Mustang Dark Horse with carbon fiber wheels. Ford* If you opt for the EcoBoost, your Mustang will pack a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, making 315 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Jumping up to the GT model gets you a 5.0-liter V8, putting out 480 hp and 418 lb-ft. The Dark Horse gets the same V8 but with 20 extra ponies, totaling 500 hp. Sadly, if you want a manual, you'll have to get one of the V8 models, as [Ford dropped the six-speed manual for the EcoBoost](). So, if you want a Mustang on a tighter budget, it's a 10-speed auto for you. Available only on the Mustang GT are optional GT Performance ($4,995) and Nite Pony ($1,195) packages. The former gets you things like Brembo brakes, 19-inch wheels, an electronic hand brake (with a [Drift Brake]() function), a Torsen rear diff (3.73 ratio with the manual, 3.55 ratio with the automatic), and a beefier rear sway bar. The Nite Pony package simply adds some black trim bits and black wheels. There are 11 different color options for the EcoBoost and GT Mustangs but only eight for the Dark Horse. There are also a few different hood stripe options for the EcoBoost and GT. ![]() **Ford** According to Ford, 27% of new Mustang GT and Dark Horse buyers opt for the manual transmission. Additionally, 50% of EcoBoost buyers now get the Performance package after the addition of the drift brake. The new Mustang is one of the last front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, V8-powered, manual cars you can buy. So, if you have a few hours to spend (or you want to pretend to work while you coast into the long weekend), you can now build your perfect Mustang and daydream about leaving [future Cars & Coffees]() in a cloud of tire smoke. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
