Ford Mustang: A Brief History in Zero-to-60-MPH Acceleration

No segment has relied more on the zero-to-60-mph measurement as its call to arms than American muscle cars. While a vehicle’s sprint to 60 mph is just one of many objective measures that can be used to indicate its performance, manufacturers tout it aggressively because it provides a standardized performance baseline that virtually everyone can relate to. That goes not only for Ford and its Mustang but also for the staff here at Car and Driver. ---Thanks to our extensive history of gathering our own performance data, we have decades of revealing numbers captured by our editorial staff that not only offer a unique look into a vehicle’s evolution but also serve as a performance barometer of sorts for any given era.
