Heard from multiple people that they a Gen 7 on the street here in Germany. Found a few pics showing them driving around. Seems like an official reveal of the export model is getting closer
The yellow one should be the one that was at Mustang garage event, picture is at a german gas station...
Yeah, you don't have to be a fanboy just because you like something. Nothing is flawless, products can only improve if you leave room for not-hateful critics and pressure of competitors.
Don't just put it aside as hate towards the car. They sell this car as a brand new generation, showcasing panel gaps has nothing to do with talking down the car, but bring up concerns that Ford might not have increased the build quality.
For the configurator, I am always stunned how Ford...
Thanks for the findings, really interesting stuff
Sounds like a really big missed opportunity if true since the DH logo already has a great shape for a keyfob
Talking about stock Mustang of course. With suspension tuning, powerchanging mods, lighter wheels, wider tires and increasing downforce on the rear with a spoiler you will achieve better times like yours. :wink:
Yeah Fords sub 4s claim was pretty much on perfect conditions on a prepped dragstrip with a perfect launch, so more of a best case the car could achieve. I organized a dragrace last year, for european models we got the following quarter mile times:
EU Mach 1 MT: 14.1 (the gearing sucks hard!)
EU...
Yeah the number of people crossshopping C8 and DH will be small. Mustangs always should be a "Best Bang for the Bucks" car. If a friggin Corvette offers better performance for the money something is really really off.
In the end the DH is still just a prettier Performance Package 2 which...
So a DH Premium with 10At is only $1,000 below a 1LT C8... even adding a Handling package isn't making the gap to a Z51 C8 smaller. wtf is Ford doing man. The DH must come with surprising good track tests to justify the price. Don't want to know what they will demand got the upcoming GT3...
My wife drives a Ford Puma (not available in NA) as daily driver. It costs about $27k and quality is top notch. Ordered a Kia Proceed GT as a family car, all the cars I've seen are build very nicely for the $33k. It's really just the Mustang that still feels like it felt out of time. Flatrock...
Look at the rearlights and black sidemarkers, definitely export models. Seems like the red one might be our base GT with chrome bezels, chrome emblems and black wheels.
Wasn't the 10AT always 3.55 and we just want the manual to get the 3.73 we never got?
Also: This is again the Gen 6 wing. I really hope we don't get the Gen 6 wing for the Dark Horse instead of the new Gen 7 wings, what the hell
It's sad this rumor still sticks out, especially since most american cars don't have any alignment problems. Never seen a Camaro with any of this, but tons of really bad aligned Mustangs, even GT500 where the trunk lid was scratching the bumper through contact or where you could put a finger...
Oh I nearly forgot about the fake gas cap thing. It was a nice gimmick on the 50th anniversary models, but overall it looked out of place especially since it wasn't gloss black like the rest of the rearpanel
I think it's still a better setup than Gen 6 EU. It at least will be real red and pinkish when on.
Gen7 EU finally feels like our model isn't a visual step down from the US model.
While I love some colors like Atlas Blue, Carbonized Gray and Rapid Red, I think 4 blues and 3 grays are a bit much. But Ford surely will rotate in and out colors every model year. Will be interesting what they will use for a 60th anniversary Mustang next year.
Vapor Blue DH looks surprisingly...
@Twin Turbo: Now that you have seen it in person, how much did the car look like a 6th gen in real life? Does it feel completely different and new, or does it more or less feel like a refresh?
The black headlights look amazing, they pretty much look like they were tinted but it's oem. Getting the Nite Pony Package in europe is definitely a great choice. But while the dark emblems looks great here in yellow, I would prefer having all the emblems in chrome and no black roof+mirrors, but...
