This point makes me think that there is an approaching separation of interest that needs to be done by Ford.
It may make sense here to take the Mustang further up-market and invest more money into it, which will inflate prices even further but hopefully reach a justification point. Meanwhile...
True, though a high-horsepower number is what will sell, and that is the end goal in order to keep this car alive for hopefully another decade at least.
The thing that concerns me a little is the fact that the next iteration is coming pre-refresh. Does Ford intend to refresh the S650, and to what extent? Other automotive news has brought to light that the V8 "is no longer a bad word" around Stellantis offices, and it sounds like a V8 Charger is...
As someone who works in this industry, you just summed it up in a way that makes total sense.
Your main driving script is extremely bloated but removal of anything is going to cause major issues elsewhere. It's no longer feasible to maintain and improve the original code; a modernization effort...
If other unrelated but similar situations I have observed are anything to model this after, this is only going to hurt Shelby even further - assuming this is a release from them.
They effectively re-released the Super Snake with a different skin, slightly less horsepower, under a name that had...
The warning isn't triggered by grip strength, or lack thereof. It's triggered if the car doesn't detect any human steering input for several seconds at a time.
Just rotate the wheel one degree towards whichever side of the lane is further away, and it'll go away. Bonus points if you can safely...
This is coming across to me as a PR stunt to promote their return to Trans Am racing. The three cars (Super Snake vs this GT350/R) don't really seem all that different.
Honestly, this to me is just confirmation that whatever comes from Ford next isn't going to have a Shelby badge on it.
In other news, Ford Authority recently posted that there was a follow-up trademark registration for "Dark Horse Boss". It sounds like they're seriously considering the name.
I'd wager that, whatever Cobra equivalent is coming, it's gonna be called that.
That was for the S550. The S650 requires you option the Performance Package before you can add Magneride.
If that has changed for the 2025 MY, I'd love to be proven wrong.
I'd start by dropping the M5 and the Bentley.
The latest rendition of the M5 is effectively a hybridized, German Charger Hellcat which can seat five people. The two aren't comparable in my eyes.
The Bentley is in an entirely different tax bracket. For that money you could get a GTD, but at...
For those of you still concerned about the livery, have a look at this post on FordAuthority. The Intense Lime Yellow color has finally been found in the wild on a GT Convertible and what I'm guessing is the RTR.
I had said some months ago in a thread talking about Intense Lime Yellow that I...
To me, this checks out. The S550's HPP price was around the same as a base GT. If that's what they'll charge it wouldn't surprise me.
Should Ford charge that much? That's another topic of discussion. While I don't think they should, I also don't believe it would be unjustifiable.
On cars not intended for the US or Canada, there will be a fog light switch in the center of the headlight mode selector, much like any other recent Ford vehicle, but the fog light logo will be mirrored. Pressing it will activate the rear fog lights, and you'll get an orange fog light logo in...
Right, that was the entire point of my comment. This livery had one job, and that was to get people talking about the car. It's more than done its job. I doubt this is anything more than a fancy camouflage.
I don't understand the response to this.
A lot of people thought that the EB Performance Pack for the S650 wasn't enough, as it was effectively wider tires and Brembo brakes on the Ecoboost without any of the bonus styling (no NPP, no BAP).
Ford then removes the EBPP entirely. Everyone...
