Yes for the benefit of the ignorant and insolent, I clearly stated it was my opinion. The fact is that lower gearing can achieve slightly faster acceleration when pushed hard, and within limits, however it largely defeats the advantage of a V8, where you have the power and torque to pull hard in...

I think you nailed it there with the Bathurst analogy, and from my own experience, the 3:55 is the ideal Ratio.

Ford are also ending Digital PDF Brochures.

I think there is a good chance of that (Overpricing), then they will be drowning in Mustangs, will zero Cash-Flow, and be forced to diminish the brand - and values with a Fire Sale. :headbang:

Ford AU have already significantly jacked-up pricing since then, and don't forget the Ford US Parent company Pricing Strategy, as seen for the US Market is for a minimal price increase on the previous year for a similar Spec' GT (GT Premium with 401A with GT Performance Pkg, B&O Audio, Active...

Thanks for the reminder re the reason for the Twin Throttle Bodies, I knew I saw that somewhere, I think it was the Chief Engineer..

Yes, 486/500 bhp is achieved with the new tighter US Emissions Laws. Although the particulate filter was a necessary impromptu solution to an unforeseen and unplanned tighter Emissions regulatory requirement for the MY22, the MY24 (Gen4) Coyote will have been developed to meet the new Biden...

I think you are probably 100% spot-on with the Supply Chain uncertainties, and the problem of unreliable availability of some features - requiring temporary unplanned changes to specs & features. It happened here in Australia, and Ford were stung with big fines when the Mach-1 arrived, and it...

This relates to ALL Brochures - it is not just about physical Paper Brochures (which can be recycled anyway) - it is also PDF form "Ford brochures of all shapes and sizes, including print and digital versions, are expected to be completely discontinued" - There will be NO Brochures of any kind...

Its anything but a positive marketing step - removing the only official summary of Features and Specs of their products, is not a productive and open strategy or method of communicating with your potential customers or the market. Their unwillingness to produce a brochure looks as if they have...

Unfortunately, it is not just a theory, and it has impacted the MY24 Mustang, so those power figures are achieved in compliance with Biden's new tougher Emissions Laws. These new Emissions Laws are the result of Biden's "green New Deal", (in response to hysterical Green Activists) which he...

I think it will also be interesting to finally discover if we get the full Power figures of the US car, as the US have increased their power sapping CO2 Anti-Polution laws, I hope we should be even now with 486/500 HP (362/373 Kw).

Yes, initially there will be a pentup demand, however many of those Pre-Orders are conditional, and will drop-out - especially if Pricing is unattractive - or financing is now unattainable with constrictions of higher Interest Rates and increased Loan Servicing Assessment Benchmark criteria.

From my understanding, Dealer Allocations are mostly in numbers of units of models that is available for the Dealer to Order, so it is up to the Dealer as to how they Option each one - which will obviously determine pricing, therefore the Pricing aspect is a variable not influencing actual...

UPDATE !! Finally some clarification for our Aust' MY24 Mustang Release Time Frame ! I just hope FoA don't go mad on Pricing ! Dealer Allocations This Month (July) Pricing and FULL Product Release - August First Arrivals / On-Sale - Q1 2024

The US MY24 Mustang Pricing was released a couple of months ago, as we also know the US and Australian 2023 Pricing for comparative benchmarks, the key indicator for our pricing is the US MY24 Price INCREASE over the MY23. The base Dark Horse is US$1400 (AU$2100) increase over the MY23...

Ford had scheduled to cease production of the MY23 in March, and it usually takes 2-3 months from the factory to our Aust' Dealer, however because there has been such low volumes to Australia, due to FoA ceasing all new Mustang Orders from about July last year, the extra time could be in making...

As indicated in the chart below, Mustang Production is yet to gain full swing, with barely a fraction of normal production to date, and as I think has been mentioned previously, these frustrating delays are reportedly largely due to Ford undertaking a major revamp of their Quality Control...

Hang on there and make it happen ! :)

As a Finance Broker I would like to agree with you, however there are a cou[le of other factors involved: (i) Accelerated Rate of Depreciation could exceed interest savings - especially on a superseded 5 year old car or the Differential between Depreciation and replacement interest rate / costs...
