Let's look at another brand. One Ford has said the Mustang is competing against...BMW. Originally, the BMW 3 series was a coupe then it became both a sedan and a coupe. This lasted many years until the early 2000s when they split off the BMW 4 series with the 3 being the sedan and the 4 being...

This is something I completely agree with. Do not design something like the last gen Taurus or Fusion and call it a Mustang. It should have a choice of engines, one of which is a higher power V8. It should have a sporty suspension. Ideally, it would be designed so that a lot of the existing...

Well, the Pontiac Grand Prix had both 2 doors and 4 doors.

I honestly don't care what it's called, but I do what the Mustang platform (V8, RWD or at least RWD biased AWD, more performance/sporty than luxury, etc.) In essence, I would like a 4 door T-bird, but even a 2 door T-bird would be fine. Call it a Falcon, Tbird, Torino, or whatnot. I don't...

I would be quite interested in a 4 door performance sedan from Ford that was a RWD V8. Give it just a little more headroom in the back and it's a winner for me. Right now, I am looking forward to the 2025 Charger and what it brings. My car is 11 years old right now and I am starting my search...

you do not want fast, quick, and in-a-hurry. The old adage of "you can have fast, cheap, good, choose two" applies here, but with this being a new vehicle, you want them to take their time and fix it right. I fully recognize that it will "never be 100 percent right again", but a really good...

Yes, provided two things happen. The V-8 RWD is retained. Rear Wheel biased AWD would be acceptable It remains a driver focused car (NOT SUV) So keep it sporty! I am not expecting to go down the track in it, but do want to feel the thrill of the Mustang when I am on the road. Couple of...

As someone who has owned both cars and trucks, I can empathize with you. That said, know your vehicle. Use it to accelerate and decelerate quickly but fully in control. Know what various conditions will do to your available traction for both acceleration and braking. Never give the police an...

My thoughts. I will never buy a car without a test drive. Even if It's a special order. There are just too many things that can be wrong with the vehicle that you are never going to find. If I am serious about buying the vehicle, I am willing to sit down with them and even get all the ducks...

unless you have personally examined the vehicle and are an expert at determining causes of fires, it is not "definite" You SUSPECT. Let's not get ahead of the facts in the situation. Yes, it's very concerning and I would hope that FMC is taking this extremely seriously. Let's find out...

Charger, but the 300C is nice as well

I agree with that, and paper maps work better than offline maps when incidents are not being reported. A few years ago (maybe just pre-covid, maybe 2022), I was traveling back home and was taking the PA turnpike. There was a tunnel closure that was not reported/being accounted for. Armed with...

As someone who has had navigation in my cars since 2011, a portable garmin before that, and have tried numerous vehicle manufacturer's versions, not many can compete with Apple or Google maps. The amount of research and development that has gone into them is astounding, as is the way they...

There are a number of vehicles with rear wheel steering. Some are used to give better turn radius (I think GM trucks have it?), while others had it to improve responsiveness. Under a certain speed, they turn opposite the fronts, at higher speeds they turn in the same direction to increase...

The chart is similar to many other charts I found out there. I don't know if people tend to start their pull at higher RPM level, the engine revs fast at those lower levels, or whatnot. I do know that in general, 4v engines tend to make their torque at a higher RPM than their 2V brethren...

What kind of car are you looking for. A Charger/Challenger is a full sized car that will actually fit a family of 4, even if all 4 are adults or older teenagers. TRY and squeeze a couple of near 6 foot teenage boys in the back of your Mustang. Go ahead, I can use a laugh. Seriously, they...

Here is a picture of a Torque/power curve I found comparing Gen 3 and Gen 4, but I find the initial torque curve the most interesting (off of LMR website https://lmr.com/products/2022-mustang-gt-vs-2024-mustang-gt-dyno) Now, I don't know where they started pressing down the accelerator pedal...

My understanding is 3k and higher. That said, I completely understand your frustrations. My 550i starts making peak torque at 1800 RPM and stays flat until 4750 and only then starts to fall off and my F350 makes peak torque at 1600 RPM. I've driven plenty of Naturally Aspirated V8s in my...

Color, model (GT, EcoBoost, Fastback, Convertible, other), What kind of options? Premium pack, performance pack, what kind of radio, cloth, leather, ricaro, standard.... Are the tires new, or old? If you just replaced them recently (last year or so), then you might want to mention them...

Markets change. 3-4 years ago, there were chip shortages, massive car shortage, etc. People who needed cars had to wait 6-12 months just to get an allotment they could buy. Manufacturer dealers were competing with buy here/pay here lots for any kind of used car and they would very rarely send...
