GT3 or GT4 while driving on a track. Sounds good but a GT350 would still be my favourite compared to this sound. However, the more "Stampede news" we get the more I'm afraid of getting almost zero information on September 14th... I have a felling that we'll see a lot but don't get many hard...

The Mustang has never been "superior in handling, speed/acceleration" unless you take the price into consideration. It's one of the fastest cars at that price point but given the increased prices a lot of cars will give the S650 a run for its money. The S650 will not beat any M car nor will it...

At this point I doubt that we’ll see a regular GT hybrid. The power output might be too “outrageous” for a regular GT. That car has already 450HP and could deliver ~500 in the S650. Adding a somewhat useful hybrid system would increase that power to 700+hp (next M5 and AMG GTs are in that range...

Most likely not. Ford wants to build a Mustang brand and the Mach-E fits right into that strategy and sells well. We might get an electrified four door coupe and other derivatives as well.

I don't think that it will replace a Mach 1/Bullitt or BOSS. However, I can imagine that we might get the "GT Performance line" like the M or AMG line in non AMG/M cars. They might even go as far and add all the Ford Performance options in that trim level. I don't think it will have more HP but...

It has ben stated several times that the S650 WILL NOT be based on CD6 but rather an upgraded DC2. Hence no easy AWD option and maybe they do struggle to fit in batteries and such for a hybrid... Cable harnesses can be a b!tch and if we consider the fact that the S550 could either have electric...

The first sentence is a disgrace.... "Mustang fans will get their first glimpse of the next-generation model on Sept. 14. " So we might only get the exterior... If they're generous they might show us the interior and almost guaranteed no info’s on available engines or other technical...

They stopped selling the ecoboost because noone was buying them. In Europe the V8 is the sole reason to buy a Mustang. If they only want to sell the ecoboost or a V6 they might as well keep it as I would assume that hardly anyone buys that car.

Well, that's the point. The Mustang does not have dual clutch transmission and the A10 is rather boring. A Mustang is a driver’s car and I would always go for the MT. However, just look at real world data and one can see that a manual S550 almost never launches that fast. 5 seconds and above...

I'm using 0-100 in order to show that a Mustang is simply not that sporty. A GT350 is, a GT500 is as well but the regular GT is simply not a sports car and neither is the ecoboost. How many Shelby's are sold for every regular Mustang? Hardly any I would imagine... So the vast majority of...

Performance wise it's more like a fast sedan... A manual V8 does 0-100 in what?! 5-6 seconds? A m340d (diesel engine) does that in 4.4 and the M340i does it in ~4.2 seconds... Sry, but the GT is everything but a sportscar. Its a GT - a grand tourer. The Cayman on the other side is way more...

Well, here’s the answer: the 7.3 delivers a healthy ~600hp and could potentially be used in a GT350. The Voodoo is gone and I would prefer a high revving flat plane V8 over a bigger cross plane V8 but it looks like this 7.3L crate engine is destined to go into the GT350…

Huge mistake... Hybrid AWD would've been my choice.

If the S650 would sound like that in Europe it would be an instant buy :D

How could a Shelby GT350 look like? They won’t come in an upgraded Coyote… They don’t get the Predator and the Voodoo is gone… They probably don’t get the 7.3L either and implementing hybrid tech into a low volume car isn’t really paying off… Maybe there won’t be another GT350… But there will...

I get the feeling that there won’t be a hybrid right from the get go. There is absolutely zero evidence or rumors pointing in that direction… That might change with the refresh but I still don’t see how that makes sense from a marketing standpoint… S650 will be sold around April 23. If we’re...

Sry, but you are plain wrong. Ford is closing their plant in Saarlouise by 2025, yes (https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltaylor/2022/06/22/ford-to-close-its-german-plant-in-2025-ford-of-europe-chairman-confirms/?sh=16ecb4913e4b) , but I was talking about their new “European Electrification...

We had the same discussion regarding the CD6 platform… The sheet-metal is absolutely irrelevant. Use the Mach-E Platform, make it look like a S550 and nobody would spot any differences apart from maybe some enthusiasts. Give it a better suspension and some other improvements and most buyers...

There is a very good reason and it’s called emissions. Ford can’t sell the Mustang in Europe or elsewhere anymore and I doubt they’ll be able to apply the necessary changes without hybrid tech. It would be a huge thumbs up for car enthusiasts but an even bigger letdown for the rest of the world...

Isn't the C8 a suitable daily? :D Anyhow, I'm glad you go for the best out of two worlds. I'll mostly likely buy a gen7 myself. I would love to own a C8 Z06 but with an estimated price tag of around 180K in Europe it's just way above what I'm willing to pay for a car... Keep up the good work...
