There was an interview from the head of Multimatic some time ago where he hunted they'd at least get close to the time set by the GT3.

It's rough man. The side looks ok, the rear has grown on me very slightly, but the front end is just terrible imo.

You can have more power than God, but if you're trying to put it to the ground using ice skates, you aren't gonna get very far. The GTD has really good tires, but even the best tires have limits as to how much power they can put down, especially if you're running two wheel drive. Be cautious...

But what is the point of the GTD running around with 1,000 hp if a RWD car is gonna struggle to put that much power down compromising on the very track performance the GTD was developed to have in the first place? If it was mid-engine with a weight bias over the drive wheels, it might do ok, but...

You would think if the s650 was gonna be on sale for 10 years they'd be stretching out the release of variants to always have something fresh. Instead, we're what? A little over a year after s650 being released, and we've already gotten the GT, Ecoboost, dark horse (mach-1) replacement...

I don't think that was Ford's plan 10 years ago, but I think it could be today. Either way, as far as I'm concerned, with the Camaro dead, and the challenger being an EV, it's things like the corvette which presents the greatest competition to mustang. The only two American V8 sports coupes on...

It's because some car enthusiasts are whiny little bitches. The amount of dipshits who don't even understand the level of engineering and design work that goes into a car like this, and then bitch about the price piss me off. Sorry for being so blunt, but I'm just tired of seeing how stupid some...

So why does that matter? It means that even if Ford had developed a new engine, a turbocharged V8, they probably wouldn't have pushed it any harder than they're pushing the 5.2. I highly doubt a turbocharged motor would have led to a much higher power output for this application for reasons...

But my point is if you start with an engine you already know is really reliable, and powerful, then that's half the battle of making a great track car already done. We have to look at this rationally, we know the 5.2 is strong enough to be boosted to insane power outputs, well over a thousand hp...

Which is part of the problem, and why I suggested this thought exercise in the first place. The c8 sells incredibly well for what it is. A massive reason for that is the sense of value and excitement it brings, notice I said value, and not affordablilty. The c8, most of them on dealer lots...

Freeing up more space first of all to give you that additional room to push the engine rearward. With a mustang sedan all but confirmed, it seems like that's gonna become the popular model for mustang enthusiasts who really need a back seat. So make the coupe a 2 seater, saving weight, cost, and...

Dude, the car was only revealed like a little over a year ago. A year between reveal and release is well below what we see with a lot of reveals.

QUOTE="Ewheels, post: 3321942, member: 41117"] I'm still confused as to why they went supercharger over turbocharger. Granted they already had the power unit from the GT500 so it would save on cost but being their halo-car at over $300k, I doubt cost was even a concern. Could've had less...

So what do you propose? I'm not saying raise the price indefinitely, just enough to make making mustangs profitable even at lower sales volumes. If the development costs for a product remain relatively fixed, but my sales volume is cut in half, I have to charge twice as much to generate as much...

My guess is that's the sort of change we'll see with a new platform. Based off of the comments of Ford's CEO, it seems like that could be likely. Everything from him wanting to make the mustang lighter without adding a ton of cost, wanting to offer hybrid powertrains, and wanting to offer a...

I believe they're hinting that they pulled off their goal of a sub 7 lap time.

Turn the music up, speed up, and let's party on this guy's lawn all night!

No, I just know how the business and product development world works, at least the basics 😂.

That's exactly right. Moving one of the heaviest parts of the car closer to the center to give it a more favorable weight distribution. But keeping it front mid-engine allows Ford to keep the famous long hood, short trunk shape the mustang is known for, giving us better handing, and a better...

We all know this sculpture from back in the day. A fastback roofline like this, and hood length, with the s650 front end and hips would be just about perfect as far as I'm concerned. This, but tweaked to be practical for production purposes is what I mean by making mustang more exotic and...
