Plus the size differences between a 911 and the current Mustang platform have much to do with the engine/powertrain. As good as the Coyote motor is, it is not the most compact propulsion unit out there. The car was designed to accommodate this motor and that set the exterior sizing limits.

I thought there was...the Performance Package(s)?

After reading this and other forums, and hearing from some club members, this discussion is reminiscent of the a similar one, albeit not on an electronic forum, since this reminder predates such technology, but when the original Fox body '79 to '93 went through its mostly styling changes, (four...

Well, I'll just have one comment on the new design evolution: yes, you can still screw up the car even though the team is "updating". But the pressure to introduce an entirely new platform with both a totally new exterior and interior was way more risky. Just ask Kemal Curic, Dave Pericak and...

I believe that the new GT 500 front was designed specifically for more airflow into critical cooling elements. More horsepower=more heat. So I think they had to design around those constraints.

Maybe submit these to Ford styling for an update...

Yes!

Just a better line than the actual...nice rendering btw.

Our club members have been discussing the new model, but not nearly as much as one would anticipate. So far, I'm ambivalent. With the modes I've made on my current car...largely suspension focused...I just don't see it moving the needle much for me. Maybe this will change in time, but right...

I think 450 for anything other than a "special edition" model in which they may up it another 20 or so.

I would disagree with your "only having one manual transmission vehicle to make the MT 82 assessment. I have an '85 5 speed as well as a Focus ST. I have also had others in the past as well as driven other friends vehicles. Currently I'd rank the Focus an 8 or a 9 on a 10 scale, and both...

I honestly haven't had any issues with mine, and I periodically track my S550. I agree with others that it isn't the smoothest shifting unit that I've ever driven, but I still think that this has more to do with the shifting mechanism than the unit itself. After the trans is warmed up, it...

What's that under your hood...or are just glad to see me...

Sorry, not a fan. Certain things should carry over as the continuum rolls forward. The horse logo has been for the most part a 3-D figure. It should stay that way regardless of what's "in fashion".

As time moves forward, they'll still be around, but over time, more as historical curiosities than something new one can purchase. As has been said before...get um' while they're hot!

Hydrogen power would be excellent, and the Japanese manufacturers were big into this in California a while back, but the fueling infrastructure just could seem to get legs. There's stories online about why, but what a shame that technology didn't take hold. Maybe it was rolledout at the wrong...

Actually, they do know how to recycle these batteries. Ford just bought into a large facility and I believe is building another. The challenge will be extracting them from each vehicle for said purpose, and then replacing them or salvaging the remaining parts of what's left of the vehicle. The...

It will be interesting to see how Ford corporate continues to transforms their dealership network relative to service. Clearly, they've decided to separate or appear to separate EV sales from ICE sales. I'd be curious to see how the service side reshuffles itself. This is where the real money...

I believe that the S197 and S550 are completely different platforms, but I could be in error here.

Hard to say, if as already mentioned here, this platform appears to be a refresh instead of significant developmental upgrade, but I would not expect this to be much more than a refresh. I think Ford is saving the big change for the next iteration, which will more than likely be either a hybrid...
