We don’t want Hybridization… either stay Gas or go EV, Hybrid technology is cumbersome, clunky and only a realistic option for the 2.3L. The 5.0 takes up too much space to really consider Hybrid technology.
Same goes for AWD. A V8 S550 can technically do it BUT, what does the base model cars...
So the question is, what changes occurred on the S550 platform that justified the new platform designation of “S650”.
When thePill was little, he heard that THE primary reason the S550 would require a new Chassis code name was specifically due to adoption of Hybrid technology. Another rumor and...
What does a matching track matter if you use different tire and wheel sizes. 🤣
The 5th and 6th Gen Camaro’s were very poor products.
IF a front engine, rear drive 4-seater could be better balanced then a boxed set up would be great…
…MAYBE the GT350 uses a true box setup but on a factory car...
Ford will take another swing at a Flat Plane Crank V8 but it might not be a 5.2…
…maybe a 289.
Some of you remember the 2015 GT350’s first performance in Grand Am/IMSA when Billy lapped the pack and waved effortlessly out the window. Why? Why couldn’t the LS.7R keep up with a 5.2? Why couldn’t...
…the Camaro crowd is still REAL upset thePill reported the 6th Gen z28 cancellation and the Camaro ending production after this generation. In fact, thePill himself regrets breaking the story way too early and fears discussing the rumor early only discouraged the Camaro community. I (and I mean...
The S650 WILL NOT be a long Model Run… 5MY’s to 2029 is what they want but Ford might be ready to go 8th Gen as early as 2026. I guess the situation is fluid and is dependent on a few factors.
S650 Sales, 8th Gen development AND, how good the Daytona does. 😉
Confirmed, the S650 WILL NOT be a long Model run and it’s longevity will be based on:
1.) S650 Sales and…
2.) 8th Gen Development.
A shortened wheelbase would sure be nice for the HALO projects! 😉
Ford is developing the 8th Generation Mustang and I bet it will look very similar to the 1st Generation. That’s how you sell EV Sports Coupes… make them look EXACTLY like the 1966-1970 Era cars with some modern materials and touch and Ford is selling Mustang’s again.
thePill is SOLD on the...
I feel that the 2024 is a better design than the 2015. The GT350 and 500 are iconic but I believe this is just a better design altogether. If it wasn’t for the Bullitt and Mach 1, I would say it’s hands down better than the 2018 too.
I really loved the 2015 and 2018 refresh too.
As thePill mentioned on another thread, there is a very good chance the S650 only last for 2 or 3 Model Years with no refresh OR, depending on sales and, 8th Gen development, runs 2MY’s and then refreshed for a 3rd and a flexible 4th MY.
The S650 was designated differently than the S550 due to...
I am holding onto the hope that the Fastback may stretch all the way to the tail light panel… if not appear to protrude over the rear panel all together. I think if they redesign the deck lid they maybe they will attempt to make the trunk opening larger than it is now because that is really...
