2018 Ford Mustang's new Performance Pack raises the capability bar

The Performance Pack Level 2 brings plenty of capability to the table for the 2018 Ford Mustang GT.

Everything you'd find on the original Performance Pack -- beefy Brembo brakes, special chassis tuning, a Torsen rear differential, a larger radiator and a strut tower brace -- is included in the Level 2 package.

The new options package adds a new front splitter and rear spoiler, as well as tires that are 1.5 inches fatter than before. 

New suspension tuning brings the car more than 0.5 inches closer to the ground, as well.

The rear sway bar is 67 percent stiffer than Peformance Pack 1, the front sway bar is 12 percent stiffer and the springs are between 13 and 20 percent stiffer.

Enthusiasts will be happy to learn that the Performance Pack Level 2 will only be available with a six-speed manual transmission. 

Ford has given its 5.0-liter V8 a few tweaks for the 2018 model year, boosting output to 460 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. 

The 2018 Mustang lands at dealerships this fall.

Ford didn't say how much the Performance Pack Level 2 would add to the car's bottom line.
