Well... There's a lot of factors, including what year is compared to today. The base MSRP of a GT in 1985 was $9885 according to Car and Driver. That would be $29,532.36 today--way less than a 2025 GT's base MSRP of $46,560. Obviously, all of the additional content and safety features have...
Don't forget that you now need to option in front floor mats and a $15 can of fix-a-flat if you ordered a PP car.
(Yes, I know that the tire inflator and sealer kit is not the same thing as a can of fix-a-flat.)
I get that adding these two things back in isn't super expensive, but it just...
Some of these prices are now reflected in the 2025 Build and Price website. I just built a loaded Race Red with 401A, NPP, PP, active exhaust, Magneride, B&O, red brakes, and Recaros and it was $71,435. The website currently lists a Blue Ember DH with handling pack and Recaros as $82,445, but...
Moving the car upmarket is certainly something they can try, but you can't just raise prices or cut content and call it "upmarket." They actually need to design and build a more premium car.
Charging extra for front floor mats is one of the most laughable things I've seen recently. Plenty of...
It looks like it in that picture, but I've never seen an S650 Ecoboost with the inner angled part of the lower inserts dark like that. But like NegativeMultiplier said, it's probably just an editing error.
Some of these changes are just baffling. No homelink at all? So you have to keep your actual garage door opener in the car like it's 1995? No standard floor mats?!? Optional tire inflator kit? Really, Ford? Jesus, talk about pinching pennies...
I had Kooks green catted headers on my S550 and did not get a CEL or have any issues with passing inspection in NC, where they check via OBD. Just FYI for the poster that asked about the green headers on an S550.
Those might be the worst factory wheels on any car in the last 30 years. They're absolutely hideous. I also don't understand Ford's obsession with the nostril inserts on some of the S650s.
Mustang may be the best selling, but just saying that lacks context. It had its worst ever year of sales last year—after a refresh that should’ve jump started sales. That isn’t good in any context, period. Sales are also way down this year from last year’s worst-ever performance. Meanwhile, the...
