the difference is, you could never buy a road-going Camry race car. You could just buy grandmas Camry.
But you CAN buy the GTD. Not just a regular mustang
Ford could have just modified a dark horse and called it the equivalent of the gt3 car. That’s pretty much what they’ve always done.
but...
My guess is that Ford is reinventing the Mustang right under our noses, with ridiculously priced GTDs helping to cover the expense.
with the many vehicles now nipping at the mustangs heels in performance, even grocery-getters, Ford NEEDS to give the mustang a reason to be. A compelling reason...

Read last sentence. Again. Boss doesn’t like to repeat himself just because others do.
The Mustang looks like it will become a hybrid. V8+EV.
ITS REALLY THE ONLY WAY. Even if the v8 ends up as basically the power supply for the electric motors.
the e ray and countach seem to indicate this would be a great evolution.
Boss says: “like I said. Not a mustang. Too bad for the...
Posted a while back that. A hybrid makes sense and that even a smaller v8 that basically supplied energy to the electric motors would be huge. Let the ev motors launch the thing in record time while getting juiced up by the v8 - and keeping that soulful soundtrack with just enough vibration...
a Mustang EV doesn’t exist. Sounds like it never will.
An EV SUV? It’s out there. Isn’t doing very well, likely due to some confusing marketing. But it’s a nice suv.
im guessing we will get a few little morsels over the summer (official leaks disguised as rumors), followed by some honest to goodness detail in the fall. But Ford will keep power figures, design, drivetrain, weight, etc. will be closely guarded until official full reveal next spring - with the...
With that color, black is the only choice. The gunmetal would look awesome as the body color. But on the wheels it just looks drab. Almost destroys the look.
no need to broadcast your limitations. Or species for thst matter.
if some guy can modify his to AWD - using parts never meant for a Mustang, Ford can build it from the factory using designs specific to the application. And when the next mustang rolls around, it can be built on an AWD platform...
no in a DIY sense. Or even an aftermarket one. Of course not.
considering he had to source parts from different automakers which aren’t precision fit nor meant to handle such power…
but for Ford to do this? Cake.
Ford can design the parts, ensure synergy, and boom. AWD Mustang thst addresses...
The car itself isn’t made with any crazy tech to cost that much. It’s due to its limited production nature, so that fact that it may or may not be profitable is irrelevant.
the car doesn’t sell. There are two reasons:
1) limited production.
2) too expensive for what it is.
Profitability on...
honestly? Great question.
It really depends on where you live.
If youre often in stop and go traffic like rush hour freeways, etc. or if you have very long drives in congested traffic, get the auto.
I got the 6 speed years ago because I wanted to row my own. In SoCal, that got old fast.

electric motors make AWD easy. Hybrid would be insane.
I think the Mustang has been held back to 1960’s traction long enough. Let’s see the little pony that could maximize her potential.
I mean the Mustang has ridiculous power. Enough to put the Europeans to shame. But doesn’t do much with it...
