I chose, and will continue to choose, a carburetor. I own a vintage Mustang to drive a vintage Mustang, not a late model Mustang.

A brief observation..... I'd like to see ANY of today's comparable vehicles with a 3.00:1 final drive ratio in top gear, manage to get the same fuel mileage on a trip that I do with my Mustang. If I limit myself to 70 mph and tread lightly on the skinny pedal I can squeak 20 mpg on the highway.

My 2021 F150 with a 5.0 with both direct and multiport fuel injection will squeak out 24 mpg in similar situations.🤷‍♂️

With a final drive ratio of 3.00?

My 95 GT would be in the high 20's on a road trip, even with the 3.73 gears.

In overdrive? With a 3.73 rear gear and a T-5 in 5th you're running a 2.53 final drive ratio.
