I think the back and forth about bashing or not is a little out of hand. Are there some people with unrealistic expectations in this thread? Sure, but I think most of the "disappointment" comes from the fact that there isn't a whole lot new here--it's a GT500 with a new name. But anyone with...

Accounting for inflation, the 2022 GT500 would range from about 90K to 140K in today's dollars. Just FYI for those curious about pricing. That doesn't mean that Ford won't change it up, but it's likely a good ballpark estimate. I personally wouldn't be surprised if the fully loaded cars are a...

Equating racetrack performance to road capability with these higher-end modern performance cars is a bit nonsensical, IMO. The car may be great on the Ring or my local track, but you'll never be able to push these cars past 4/10ths for more than a second on a public road unless you're going in...

I think it’s fun and interesting to compare ‘Ring times, but people act like it’s the be-all, end-all of car performance when in reality it’s just one data point. Also, most Americans—even those that track their cars domestically—will likely never have the opportunity to drive the Ring. I can’t...

I think the car is exactly what anyone with any sense thought it would be—an S650 GT500. Anyone expecting something revelatory hasn’t been paying attention to what Ford has been doing this generation. With that said, it’s a cool car, but nothing shocking at all. Want a new GT500? Here it is, but...

The Eray stars around 112K. Are you thinking of the ZR1 than starts at 185K and runs 9s?

Unless I read it wrong, the press release reads like only the track pack cars get the ducktail; so what does the base car get? A regular wing? A wing delete?

I agree. But Dark Horse SC is still a stupid name.

They're both terrible.

Then why did you bother to click the thread and take the time to reply?

That’s how it should’ve come from the factory, IMO.

It's too yellow for my taste. It would look better with the NPP though.

I was thinking more in terms of pushing through corners like you would on a track.

Sure, but it’s not like you can realistically drive those cars on the street at more than 4/10ths longer than 2 seconds.

I had no idea that would affect the sound!

To a certain extent, it’s a matter of perspective: you’re right in that most companies would be very happy to sell that many sports/performance cars per month, but the Mustang had its worst sales year ever last year—after a redesign that should’ve bumped sales—and is unfortunately following that...

Yeah, agreed. I’m not sure a 1.6% decline is statistically significant, but I still don’t think you could call 2025 sales “good” by any stretch of the imagination.

It’s still trending slightly lower than last year, which was the Mustang’s worst sales year ever.

It may just be a coincidence, but January 15th is the debut date of the new Red Bull and Racing Bulls F1 cars, and of course, Red Bull and Ford now have a partnership for F1 power units.

I think we should shoot for another 20 pages of back and forth in this thread.
