Power is transferred to the wheels through either a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission or a T-56 six-speed manual transmission for those seeking additional control. The Velocity Mustang has been optimized for performance with a proprietary serpentine system, custom headers, and stainless-steel exhaust featuring Borla mufflers that provide an aggressive tone.The Velocity Mustang rides on a state-of-the-art Roadster Shop Mustang SPEC chassis, which ensures exceptional stability and handling. Rack-and-pinion power steering, a front sway bar, and a SPEC independent front suspension contribute to its responsive ride. The four-link rear suspension with front and rear adjustable Fox coilovers allows the Mustang to ride and handle better than ever before. Furthermore, a Ford 9-inch rear axle with a 3.73 gear ratio enhances performance, while the 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in 255/45 ZR17 Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02 tires provide excellent grip on both the road and the track. Baer four-piston calipers with 11-inch rotors and a Bosch Electric iBooster ensure that the Mustang stops on a dime.The exterior of the Velocity Signature Series Mustang Fastback is adorned with custom BASF Glasurit paint colors and can be further enhanced with optional painted racing stripes for a more pronounced look.

Truck-Lite LED headlights illuminate the street at night, while sequential LED taillights bring a touch of modernity to the pony's rear. The exterior features are completed by all-new glass, weather seals, and billet hood hinges by Ringbrothers.Inside the Mustang, Velocity's in-house design team has created a luxurious cockpit that seamlessly blends nostalgia with modern comforts.
