  1. Official: Mustang GTD laps Nurburgring in 6:57.685

    There are several arguments: the platform was outdated when the S550 was built on it and therefore, a lot of stuff isn’t happening because it would require too many changes = wouldn’t be cost-efficient. Just a few things that would make a new Mustang much more desirable: Lightweight (really...
  2. Official: Mustang GTD laps Nurburgring in 6:57.685

    It's pointless to argue any further. There isn't a rational argument out there that would convince him...
  3. Official: Mustang GTD laps Nurburgring in 6:57.685

    Well, the GTD does not comply with GT3 regulations so Multimatic had way more freedom to do whatever they liked. Besides, with your argumentation I would ask myself where to stop. Same engine block? Why not same origin of the raw material? The engine literally has a different name and everything...
  4. Official: Mustang GTD laps Nurburgring in 6:57.685

    It’s the disappointment that speaks out of us. Everyone here wants the Mustang brand to succeed. However, the reality is that the current line-up is far away from what it once was: a performance bargain with a lovely V8. Today it’s just a sub-par quality car with a lovely V8. How can 6:57 be...
  5. Official: Mustang GTD laps Nurburgring in 6:57.685

    Except that you are wrong. The name is the same but other than that almost everything is different. Not much is known about the chassis but I would bet that it has absolutely nothing in common with a regular GT. Besides, it has carbon bodyworks and NO Coyote engine but a modified Predator engine...
  6. Official: Mustang GTD laps Nurburgring in 6:57.685

    As I said earlier in a now removed thread: not that impressive. The base is not a $42k GT but the $300k GTD. Multimatic took that car to the ring and apparently prepared the car for two years. They wanted to beat the GT3 but they were no where near the time set by the much cheaper Porsche. The...
  7. Mustang GTD documentary coming Dec. 10th

    Wasn't it quite heavy? I thought I read something like around 1.9 tons... If they can't get the weight down to maybe 1.5 tons then I don't see them beating anybody... I'm excited to see the final lap|but if the car didn't loose a substantial amount of weight 'sub 7' is all one can hope for...
  8. Ford is cutting costs on the 2025+ Mustang

    Your phone is the problem. Had it with every Samsung and since I switched over to a different brand most things run much smoother. I like Samsung but wireless charging or charging in general is abysmal on every Apple and Samsung.
  9. Ford is cutting costs on the 2025+ Mustang

    Honestly, in my perspective the only way out is to deliver a better product. Why is/was the C8 so sought after? It was more expensive, marked up left and right but there were still enough people waiting for a C8 even after the horrendous price increases… With the current S650 we got a refreshed...
  10. Ford is cutting costs on the 2025+ Mustang

    No, you most certainly don't otherwise you would know that ever increasing prices on a product that cannot be justified will end in the end of the product. It’s a false narrative that ā€œI don’t sell as many units as I used to – I have to raise the price of what’s left in order to keep making the...
  11. Do we think Ford is going to make an S650 GT500/Cobra?

    Who is buying EB Mustangs? No one in Europe or the UK and hardly anybody around the world I would imagine… So then who buys them in North America? Is there any data on that? I would imagine that the vast majority of EB sales are rentals (Hertz, Alamo and co.)… Maybe I’m wrong but if not then...
  12. Did the s650 live up to the "Poster car" promise Farley made?

    Now that right there is a poster car šŸ˜ The S650 looks to dull in its side profile... Like the current BMW 5 series... Other than that it definitely has more character than any other car in its price range. However, I doubt that a base GT would be considered a poster car when there are special...
  13. GTD 'Ring Lap Time Revealed Later This Month

    That's good to hear, Boone likes cheaters. It is however unfortunate that Ford didn't manage to get a Ring time. Xiaomi had the same issues as Ford but kept trying and a couple of days or weeks after their failed attempt due to bad weather they were able to set a new record with their SU7...
  14. GTD 'Ring Lap Time Revealed Later This Month

    Misha had it's doubts that FP will have a clean run due to rain or at very least suboptimal conditions. However, Ford could do what Mercedes did: post a sub 7 time, claim to be "the first American brand ever" and come back later and have another run. The AMG One had two or three record runs and...
  15. Ford is done making boring cars

    Ford isn't done making 'boring' cars but done making affordable cars. Ford wants to focus on more expensive cars with a higher margin and yet almost everything they do is far away from premium, except pricing... Henry Ford would certainly not be proud...
  16. Official 2025 Mustang GTD Figures: 815 HP / 664 LB-FT / 202 MPH Top Speed

    It will beat quite a few 911 but will it beat the GT2 RS that is already seven years old? Possibly... Current GT3 class cars would lap the Nürburgring at 6:35 something. If the GTD is a street legal version of the GT3 class Mustang - and current information point in that direction - with 800hp...
  17. Official 2025 Mustang GTD Figures: 815 HP / 664 LB-FT / 202 MPH Top Speed

    Literally everyone, even GM officials, have stated behind closed doors that the ZR1 will be more expensive than the Z06 but still within a reasonable price range... $200k will be a viable price. There might be some options to push the price but one will be able to buy a ZR1 for $200k. Besides...
  18. Got denied for a GTD. What's the next regular high performance Mustang coming down the pike?

    The GT350s are getting more and more expensive by the day... it's crazy. The Mach 1 on the other hand is just a slightly tuned GT with left over parts. Nothing truely special about it although the performance isn't all too bad. However, the Shelby has a nicer interior and a flat plane V8 is a...
  19. Want more than a GT but can’t reach a GTD? You may be SOL…

    I think a lot of people would love that. However, during Covid most manufacturer figured out that cars are desired and that people can be charged a hell lot more for absolutely zero reasons but greedy profit. It's worse if former bargain brands are dragged into the exotic territory and it's the...
