All new platform is a must but wont happen now so screens you dont have to touch because it is a car and not a phone with dirty screen as also a new block with more bore to give the Coyote much needed Torque for F150 & Mustang should be stop gap measures to keep the product viable until a...
Maybe they can give the DH at least the 5.4 from the GT3 and shorter gearing to make it feel more torquey…Change the steering knuckles to tone down the tramlining , turn the touchscreen into a screen operated by a few knobs and buttons and get rid of the droopy black bags under its eyes and call...
We can all dream but Ford wont bring out a really new Mustang in a year or two after they just brought the all new for 2024 refreshed S550 called S650…The platform is what it is not a sportscar like alpha where front does not understeer and rear does not oversteer or even rotate into turns which...
If Ford does not care about their products or customers and only about profits they might be out of business soon because people dont like bad quality with lots of problems and recalls as also it is expensive for manufacturers to deal with that stuff…Cars already gone high profit Pickups and big...
Ford did not play it safe they did it on the cheap and thought it would be enough to call it all new and rise the price and people would come since the Camaro and Challenger were gone and Corvette moved upmarket where old people with money finally wanted a comfortable cruiser with a decent...
As also with prices that rose to $75K plus tax & license for a car that is and should be a $45K car having paid for itself being basically a 10 year old platform with a 14 year old engine expectations rise to with having to pay more money no matter how the excuses are like inflation , crazy...
The best selling car of this segment where the Challenger/Charger twins that sold well for 16 years…Great looks ,torquey 392 , enough room inside , big trunk and surprisingly fun to drive as also the 6 spd Tremec option made it a hit…I predict sales of the new 2/4 door Charger will lag not...
I just want to say that is why Ferrari ,AMG or BMW in their M3 DTM racecars never made flat-plane crankshaft engines with more than 4 liters displacement....vvvibbbrations ! And I dont think a flat-plane V8 sounds like a V 8...IMHO Not a fan...More vibration,less torque,no real V8 sound for a...
Charger/Challenger sold 120K units last year...I think Camaro was still at 30K...There is enough potential for conquest sales you would think as also the Corvette has vacated the premises of the working mans sports car moving upmarket with mid-engine and nicer interior going now for a realistic...
Interesting topic/discussion for sure ! The Mustang is efinitely not a sportscar because of size/weight and how the chassis performs.It feels BIG and does not rotate which means when pushed the front plows/understeers followed by a quick snap oversteer...The handling should be neutral , the car...
Why I am here in all honesty ? I want Ford to build a better Mustang...Better as in weight , chassis , interior , engine , quality worth the money they are charging for it...I Btw I dont care about shareholders because I am a consumer ! All I want is a better product worth buying because Mustang...
To be honest for a sports car the Mustang is too heavy...The Mustang is more a sporty cruiser if we are honest.The Camaro was a better sports car than the snap oversteer Corvette and the Challenger is a cruiser that is very fun to drive on the streets...As far as beating all the alternatives you...
Funny how far the thread has moved away from the points the original poster made...I agreed with him 100% as the DH unfortunately is nothing more than a new name plus super sticky Pirellis plus additional mark-up on a already compared to SS1LE overpriced Mach 1...Ford could/should have done so...
I am a hard core car and motorcycle enthusiast and DD my stuff...Touchscreens for me are not a dealbreaker but they are not safe as you have to take your eyes off the road as a I-phone does not travel 100 feet a second and greasy paw prints are a nuisance...A compromise would be cheap screens...
And if they cant/wont spend money on a all new V8 platform PLEASE dont call the gen 7 a all new generation because it is insulting because it makes you stupid and its insulting to the prospective customers...What you should do is increase the bore of the Coyote which would mean a new block and...
You nailed it brother...100% !
FORD should come up with a 100% new car and make a 4 door variant of it and even AWD to get more snow belt , law enforcement and Charger 4 door family car sales...As Also give the Coyote much needed low to mid range Torque without having to put a supercharger on...
I see the problem with lack of excitement/enthusiasm for the "new" Mustang that it is nothing more than the almost 10 year old Mustang...I was excited about a new Mustang especially since Camaro,Challenger,Corvette (lack of manual) gone ! Only competition bein BMW M2/3/4 but really not if you...
A Ecoboost V6 would make it faster but kill the spirit as in no V8 sound ! The 7.3 truck motor would need a aluminum block too make it feasible so I think this is a pipe dream too.A Coyote with more bore would be perfect and about time to combine the best of both worlds...High rpm top end with...
US gas is diluted with up to 10% of alcohol...Less bang for the buck ! In mexico there is non of that sheet in Pemex and you get better mileage even if you go faster because no ethanol added...And yes I would run top tier gas because it has more additives that supposedly create less carbon...
The chassis is the same so there is no rotation into turns so the front still understeers while the rear wants to oversteer masked by super sticky Trofeos...Unmasked when you drive it in the rain.
Still the heavy weight and overly tall first 3 gears.
Nothing against a higher revving DOHC engine...
