You guys are all over thinking this. Ford is obviously backing down from EV and hybrids, and AWD would take a tremendous investment. The only thing we will see is a GT350/500, Boss, Mach 1 or Bullet type of badging with more HP, better suspension and some aero/visual upgrades.
There are many, many 3+ mile long straight roads in Maryland. Just not close to DC. At my last job, I would hit 150++ every morning (6AM) on the way to work. No cars visible in either direction for miles.
It's worth it to me not to have to source and have installed all the goodies.
I will have other goodies to install eventually :)
Did you see the Lethal performance guy went 9.78@138+ in his whippled S650? I think all he added was 2000HP axles and rear wheels and tires.
Really? I just looked. they have 69 Mustang GT's listed in inventory. Unfortunately, the website shows discounts only around 10% but I'm sure you can negotiate. Are you looking at Ourisman Ford in Manassas, VA?
Sorry Toad, gotta disagree. Torsen, Brembo's, spoiler, and I've never seen Katzkins fit as good (tight) as factory. Also, doesn't the PP come with some extra coolers?
With discounts up to 15% on higher end Mustangs, and continuing thru summer as the 24's come to an end, a 401A with MR and active exhaust (and PP obviously) is about 61K. If you can get that you have everything for about 52-54k +ttl. How can you beat that? Can't get an M2 or C8 anywhere near...
Considering the recent announcement of Ford losing over $1B in the first quarter of this year on electric vehicles, I doubt it will be anything remotely close to an electric vehicle.
I just don't get buying a 50-60K car and cheaping out on 87 Octane gas. Do you use the cheapest non synthetic oil also? If the gas is that much of a problem maybe you should have bought an ecoboost.
Don't go with the Goodyears, they are junk. If you want all seasons go with the Conti DWS 06+ or the Michelin All Seasons. You will not be disappointed.
Also agree with the 9.5 inch wheels with 275/40-19.
