This ↑↑↑ And anybody who thinks there can be no adverse global consequences to the level of solar and wind power generation required to supply all these electric cars in lieu of fossil fuels might do well to think on it some more. Norm

It wouldn't be the same and it wouldn't drive the same. So you might as well name it something else, retire the 'Mustang' name, and be done with it. Find a name more relevant to electrified drive than reminiscent of such past-century historical curiosities as horses and WWII piston-powered...

Pardon, your slip, errr . . . bias is showing. But tell me, how well do you think any hybrid powerplant(s) would match up with a conventional 6-speed/3-pedal manual transmission? And for those who consider any form of automatic transmission to be an absolute deal-breaker all by itself, then...

Make sure that you're applying the boldfaced thought in an even-handed manner. Just because a certain belief is held by "the masses" does not mean that that same belief must be held by any given individual, either. Like a double-edged sword, it cuts both ways. I know my automotive thoughts...

I doubt that it really cost all that much to develop the 302 from the 289, or the 428 from the 390 (which itself evolved from the 352 - ultimately that from the original 332). So even though dron's list of engine displacements is 7 items long, it reduces to only three basic choices, sixxer...

Sounds like you haven't lived through the situation where a technology that you would not choose for your own driving went from partial market share to a virtual monopoly. If you had, you might think differently. Norm

There's nothing wrong with the concept of hybrid or EV technology. But it should stand on its own merits and earn deserved recognition for its own name - and if it's any good, it will. Trading on the reputation of one of the world's longest continuously running model names has greater risk...

It'd a bit of a drive for me, too, but if the place where everybody knows your name is still there let's make it downstairs at the Hampshire House in Boston. Y'know, I might have once felt the same way . . . now I'm more likely to look for exceptions that prove the rule that when humans are...

None of those things changed the way cars drove. Pretty close to transparent. It's not as simple as "expanding the Mustang buyer", which I assume means "expanding the Mustang buyer pool". With something like this, you probably are expanding the appeal of a Mustang out to groups that might...

You're no different from the 20-somethings of the 1960's, impatient with the pace of change and who didn't "trust anyone over 30". Think about it. When you're young, you have less life experience on which to base thoughtful opinions. Knee-jerk reactions and getting all starry-eyed over the...

I'm about two generations older than you, and I don't equate speed or acceleration potential to the sound of a V8 either. But I do tie it much more closely to spark-ignition engines, the higher-revving the better. I'm not the least bit interested in trucks, and the last thing I'd want would...

I'd be more than happy with a 4.8 in a Coyote-level state of tune or better . . . all by itself. I don't need a car that's a rocketship in a straight line, don't even want one that'd be heavier, less responsive in a corner, or requires an AT. Electric motors for propulsion need not apply...

It doesn't look like your average Volvo, and doesn't appear to get driven like one. The Porsche guys probably wouldn't appreciate it if they stumble across it, though. Norm

These were taken almost two years ago. Haven't done a whole lot to it since other than rear LCAs and better pads and rotors. Yeah, the OE springs are a bit soft and the anti's are pretty mild . . . Norm
