Over 600k Challenger’s sold since 2008 isn’t anything to sneeze at. I hope the ICE Mustang survives longer than the S650, but we’ll see.

How about now… DH - 500 HP Boss 307 - 550 HP GT 350 - 600HP Cobra 444 - 700 HP GT500 - 900 HP (supercharged)

Ford’s entire culture would have to change. Roof leaks, hydraulic fluid pooled on the floor, and decades of dust and grime on equipment in the plant are just standard operating procedure. You have to accept them for what they are and not what they will never be.

Dodge would beg to differ.

Ford could easily do a 500+ HP 5.0, a NA 600+ HP Predator, and a NA 700+ HP Godzilla. The question is whether they have the manual transmission and the will for the job.

I’m pretty pumped about 486 for a GT.

It’s very cool that a GT with active valve exhaust can get 486 HP. I’m curious to see how many Dark Horses they actually make.

This thread has aged well. It seems that Ford’s engineers are, in fact, credible.

The end is near, but new models take a lot of capital investment and the current Mustang provides crucial cash flow for the EV transition. Hopefully we get another eight years of ICE Mustang with plenty of tweaks and new models.

I’m optimistic they will do something fun like offer a N/A predator in a manual as a curtain call.

I’m wondering whether the Dark Horse will be the top of the line up or if it’s just a placeholder for something much better (e.g. Boss 307). Might explain the restrained HP numbers.

I feel like Ford Authority is putting out disinformation on behalf of dealers who advertise with them to try to move the remaining S550s. Flat Rock pumped out a whole bunch of Mustangs recently that are just sitting on the lots in Michigan. Many large dealers now have double digit Mustang...

I’m betting it will be just like the 25th anniversary that I had and the 55th anniversary that I have. Shiny dash plaque here we come!

My S550 has a drift handbrake. The S650, not so much. I do like the new Mustang, but the electronic parking brake with a weird handle for a button isn’t one of its strengths.

My 5’ 1.5” wife doesn’t have any issues with the Mustang GT clutch pedal.

Automatics are faster so if you didn’t grow up with a manual then I wouldn’t go that route. I like them because it makes shuttling kids around town more interesting. Definitely no fun in traffic though.

Just to clarify when Doug says “No electronic parking brake here” he really means “There is definitely an electronic parking brake here”.

I wouldn’t know as I haven’t found much of the available YouTuber content to be “enlightening”.

First Nite Pony and now Yellow Splash. Who’s really behind Ford marketing? Ms. Norbert’s third grade class? :giggle:

Where are these kids who can afford impractical $50k+ cars? Most of the millennials I know are too busy saving like Scrooge McDuck because the cost of everything from college to housing to transportation is becoming untenable for those who don’t already have accumulated wealth. The cars they...
