I see the aero being the main driver of cost. That puts teams like Hendrick/Gibbs/Penske at a HUGE advantage. The science and engineering that go into computer simulations, fluid dynamics, etc cost millions. NASCAR limits actual wind tunnel testing, so that cost shifts to teams, and requires...
Man, I f'in love NASCAR. Can't wait for these new cars. I hope they're are less aero-dependent. They are supposed to be.
I really wonder about Chevy. Yeah, the new car will probably come out as a Camaro, but what happens when they kill it in a year or two?
I'm no chevy fan, but I don't...
I like it. It's my opinion that if FORD wants to set the Mustang apart with it's own brand and sub models, they need to go big and make a big splash. The Mach e doesn't count. More like a splat.
No more of this new bumper/headlight tweak crap. Think of a jump like the one from the SN95 to...
I think that new BMW M3/M4 look is f'kin RAD. Love it. This is hwo big Ford needs to go here. This incremental BS on top of a "vintage inspired" design is played out. Dodge is retro, Chevy retro, Ford Retro. Who's gonna go big here and take the spotlight?
I always remember something that...
I had a red 71 Mach in High school. It was a 351C 4V with a C6. Had a red interior.
We put an intake, hooker long tubes, flows, dumps, a huge solid lifter cam, a 750 Double pumper and 4:11 gears. Like you said, that shit pulled hard up top. I eventually had a 950 Pro series holly on it and...
This. All electric cars don't interest me. I like cars specifically because of V8 engines.
No V8? I'm not interested.
If I have to drive one in 2050 to get around, so be it. It won't give me the feels.
I know the Coyote is about $9.5, and Godzilla can be had for $7.5K.
-half the valves/guides
-half the valve springs
-half the rockers
-one quarter the number of cams
-one timing chain instead of four
-one cam phase instead of four
-half the aluminum in the head
-all the less time labor to put...
Right? I know nobody think this engine will end up in the Mustang, but...
Riddle me this:
Why would Ford offer the 6.8L and the 5.0L in the F150. The 7.3 is only for Super Dutys.
-What is the take rate on the 5.0 in teh F-150?
-How much more does a 5.0 cost to manufacture than a 6.8 w/ iron...
Yeah, maybe they mean every one will be "electrified" instead of all electric.
I'd be cool with a smaller V8/Hybrid with the motor at the engine/trans area or at the wheels.
We've all seen the drawings of the V8 with the front motors...like you said man.
I could stomach a hybrid V8, but...
Horse pucky.
And a Tesla is not an automobile...anymore than a golf kart.
And an electric only mustang won't be either.
I'm fixin' to buy a '7 1 Mach w/ 3514V. That'll show em.
Most people know this, I certainly do. It doesn't mean much.
Rumors about when the S650 would drop were all over the place in the last 2-3 years.
Plans seems to change fast at Ford. Hell, they have three CEOs in every Mustang lifecycle.
At least Hackett is gone.
This must be a mistake. It makes no sense.
If the current start date info is correct, S650 will run MY'23, '24, '25, '26, '27,'28, which is only 6 model years.
How in the world can they know the start date of the gen after the gen that hasn't even started yet?
Thanks for being "that guy" you dunce.
If you take the rear seats out of a 4 seat car it's still a 4 seat car with the seats taken out.
A corvette is a two seat car. Understand?
Especially silly comment since we were discussing altering the wheelbase to create an actual 2 seat car. Which will...
Why in the world would the 350/500 or any performance variants be on a shorter wheelbase than the GT? There well never be a two seat mustang.
Mustang XL? WTF is this, 1986 in a parallel universe?
I usually back the Pill, but this is some whack speculation.
Totally. If it lost a 6" section across the entire side it would look fantastic.
Like Jake said, Ford should just stop being a bitch and go big(ger) with the Mustang.
If they want to make it it's own "brand."
Chevy went huge with the Vette.
It will be nice if it's really on the CD6. And if they keep it the same size.
I have a '14 GT that I really like, and I'm fixing to skip the S550.
If I was ready to buy a new car, I'd get a '20 GT-PP in Grabber Lime...but I'm just not ready.
I'm really looking forward to the next gen. I hope...
