In order to carry the 2 motorcycles with a 2010 Ford Mustang, the best option would be to use a trailer. The Yakima Rack and Roll Trailer, # Y08106, is a roof rack on wheels and would not work for your application. First, if you do not already have a trailer hitch for the Mustang, I recommend the Curt Hitch, # C11048. It will fit all models, including the GT, but not a GT/CS, Shelby GT, or GT500.
This hitch comes with the recommended ball mount which should be used in the rise position only. For a ball, you can use # 19258 (2 inch diameter). For trailer wiring, you will need Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring, # 118487. I have included links to the instructions for the hitch and the wiring for reference.
