I know - just looking at the S650 I thought maybe the big vent in the hood would improve engine cooling quite a bit. I guess maybe it does. I know I've read quite a few threads where S550s have issues with engine temperature on track.

If the journalists really got to drive the cars hard, then maybe the DH is good. The reviews I saw of the DH it seemed like the journalists mostly got pretty limited time with the DH. I saw one where it was getting dark during the review even because they didn't have enough time. I think it's...

That remains to be seen. We will know more once people with the DH model start doing some track driving. That's all great, but then you have a Camaro with the dumb skip shift and direct injection only engine. Yuck. I'd rather have a car with a good engine and only have to swap in some coolers.

Congrats! It looks awesome. I really like the wheels. That's a nice new style that seems unique as well as good looking.

I really love the front end styling way more than the regular S650. Very cool. I understand the canards/diveplanes improve front down force, but on some cars they look really dumb - Dodge Viper ACR comes to mind. The GTD looks like the bottom canards are partially built into the body of the...

I agree with you, but as long as we are talking theoreticals - a smaller all steel car that weighs 300 or 400 lbs less because it is smaller would be a lot more in the general spirit of past Mustangs. If the car is smaller and lighter, everything is smaller and lighter. Suspension, brakes...

Not sure I'm aware of what the C8 ZR1 is. Is that a future product? The Z06 is probably going to be marginally faster than the GTD, though. Or at least very near to it. And a lot cheaper.

Yes I agree you are correct that the schmancy add-ons are a big part of the $300K price. Do you think a mid engine Mustang should be all steel body with cheap iron rotors and basic equipment on it? Who is buying all these mid engine Mustangs that probably cost $120k each? It's not a Corvette...

I really like the look of it in general. The vents over the wheel are a little much, but I expect they are functional. In my opinion it's an improvement over the regular Mustangs and DH. The front end is beautiful.

Serious question: if a Mustang where the major changes are suspension and a transaxle ends up in a model that Ford is charging $300,000 for, what do you think the cost would be for a Mustang that would require major changes to every single panel and complete re-engineering of everything? A mid...

It's insane to me that literally yesterday I posted on M6G in a thread about mid engine Mustangs that Ford should make a front engine car with front SLA and a transaxle. That's all the ingredients for a really great driver's car with 50/50 weight balance. I think my post was deleted, but if...

Yeah that is nice. I've never been anywhere that didn't have 91, but sometimes it's tough to find 93. Nah. No way, bro.

I understand the theory of how the DI/PI combination works. It's certainly better than DI alone from an engine life standpoint. But it also increases cost and complexity of the engine (and emits particles/more pollution). How long the engine will last depends a lot on implementation and the...

Gonna have to disagree with this somewhat. Air quality is very important in my opinion. It impacts everyone (eventually). Now, I do think that it's stupid and lame to write gas engine regulations that cause manufacturers to use direct injection on NA engines. Direct injection sucks. Yes, it...

Yes, hence why I own a 2017. I was really hoping Ford would go back to the more fun MT ratios with the new cars, but I understand why they didn't. Definitely less gear calms the car down and makes it easier to drive, especially at slow speeds. Yes, it's somewhat of a test of how sticky the...

I think digital is cheaper than good quality analog now. So my opinion is the accountants drove the change and marketing was enlisted to explain it away. I'm not sure what the majority of Mustang buyers think, but myself I prefer physical gages and controls over digital. It's mostly because...

Thank you for doing this. It's very helpful. I love your videos as well and hope you stay with it. I think if you don't have enough fun new cars to review, it would really be great if you did reviews/comparisons of some older or even modified cars compared to new or just reviewing older stuff...

Well done video. Thanks!

It's nice to get to see an S650 intake. Pretty bad fail in the video not having any of the existing manifolds available to compare it to. Even just presenting some measurements for comparison of the runner sizes would have been nice. Here's a link to describe what the IMRC valves do...

The Mustang driver was definitely taking it easy, but an Alpine is probably going to corner pretty effortlessly by comparison. The Alpine is ~2,400? lbs vs the DH at 3,800 or so (edit, sorry I got a few different numbers on that Alpine weight). Just an INSANE weight difference between the big...
