Do you understand that this is not a good thing for performance car enthusiasts? If auto makers cannot make the required CAFE numbers the low mileage cars will be the first to go. That means high horsepower V8’s. That is unless you are OK with a I4 or V6 Mustang.

Panasonic announced a new battery factory in the US. They wouldn’t be doing that unless there was an expectation of increased sales in the future. By the way, no one is asking you to go out and buy an EV, nor even like them. That said the mileage of the EV and hybrids are helping all...

Don’t tell them that. They think the United States controls the globe. OK, you’re really stretching now. EV’s padding of the CAFE standards is what is allowing our high performance cars to exist. That’s a fact, not conjecture. Ford actually said as much with the Mach-E.

And if it is you can kiss you V8‘s goodbye. Be real careful what you wish for.

Having a V8 beyond the S650 is bogeyman talk too. None of us have any clue. It’s all speculation. But, damn, it’s fun!

Today’s political climate is working against us. There appears to be an all out war on EV‘s. If it continues and sales continue to drop so do our chances of our V8’s continuation. This could serious affect the mid year refresh on the S650 and on Gen 8.

Obviously there is no way to know this but reasonable thinking would say this is not really possible. Ford is telling us what we want to hear. That the V8 will continue as long as possible. If they can keep the S650 going I believe it. But if there is to be a Gen 8 it most likely hybird or even...

Your thinking with your heart and not your head. And that‘s OK, I get it. No one is saying the Mustang is going anywhere. It’s the form that counts. What does the Mustang have that none of the competitors have? Right, a V8. The V8 will continue for the foreseeable future in the S650 but do you...

Only Ford knows what “a good amount” is. Right now the S650 on exists because of the things. 1. F series trucks, that where all the profit is. 2. The Mach-E, like it or not it promotes the Mustang name and 3. Racing, it’s great PR. Could these three things allow Ford to make an 8th? Only Ford knows.

Bean counters do not look at a top ten list, they look at sales numbers. Popularity against other cars means absolutely nothing if unit sales numbers aren’t there. And maybe you missed it but Mustang’s two biggest V8 competitors no longer exist.

There is no Shelby, period. If Ford does a S650 special edition, and they most likely will do, then it is unlikely it will have a Coyote. That leaves the 5.2. Well we can hope, can’t we?

Question? Do the current level of sales offer any encouragement for a totally new generation? What would Ford’s sales expectations be to fund a new chassis? And if they did would it just be another rear wheel drive car with two doors and an ICE V8? Does that really make sense in the real world...

Pointless. The heir to the GT500 is going to need GT500 horsepower. That is going to take forced induction. Getting 500HP out of the 5.0 is probably the limit we are going to get from Ford.

I agree with you. The conversation with @RebelMan was that he wanted the new SE Mustang to have NA. My point was I didn't think that was possible for the reasons you mentioned. If we want to go reliably beyond the Dark Horse it's going to be this FI.

The cost to develop and produce a new car from the ground up would be in the tens to hundreds of millions of dollars. That vehicles retail cost would make the GTD look like a K-Mart red light special. How many million dollar cars do you think Shelby could sell. Besides Shelby has already done...

The Mach E was originally supposed to be called the Mach 1. There was major backlash over this and the Mach E was born. The special edition S550 was supposed to be the Boss as it a track (road) focused car. But to appease us enthusiasts is was renamed Mach 1. The Dark Horse was/is meant to be...
