The Ford Mustang is an incredibly versatile sports car that can be had in many different configurations depending on the type of driving experience you are looking for. Our team at NorthStar Ford can help you find the Ford Mustang with all of the handling upgrades you want.

One of the biggest factors in determining the handling of a sports car is the suspension setup. The Mustang can be equipped with a MagneRide Damping System that allows you to adjust the firmness of the suspension at will. This allows you to make the vehicle soft when you are just commuting around Duluth, and you can firm up the suspension when you are pushing the Mustangs limits. Another huge upgrade found on the Mustang is the Independent Rear Suspension setup. Having Independent Rear Suspension allows the Mustang to take on twisty roads without having to worry about unpredictable oversteer when you put the pedal to the metal.
