My '26 has the performance pack with magneride and it rides pretty nicely, even in the firmer sport mode. I enjoy having a good handling car, so I am happy with that choice.

Well, if that's truly the case then it would indeed have to wait until the next Mustang generation. My comments relate to the appeal of such a car (regardless of what hoops Ford would need to jump through to get there).

As a mid engined 2-seater the Vette is way further away from a 4-door sedan than the Mustang. But GM came close to a 4-door Camaro (direct competitor to the Mustang) with the Cadillac CT4V Blackwing. If they had put an NA V8 in that car instead of a turbo V6, it would essentially have been a...

Not appealing to the same Mustang owners who buy the 2 doors would be a good thing, so it wouldn't cut too much into traditional Mustang sales. I wouldn't expect many Explorer or F150 customers (except some potential Explorer ST owners) to be interested, either. I think sales would come...

I have no idea whether Ford will actually do this, but I think a 4-door Mustang would be very appealing to families who want something with more passenger room.

Are wheel companies able to get their products certified? What does it require--inspections, fees, etc.? It makes one wonder who or what influenced the creation of these types of laws.

Evidently in Japan, like the US, they don't have the mentality described below. The "concern" about safety relating to mods is interesting. I'm definitely more worried about people driving around with worn out brakes and tires than an aftermarket exhaust.

Your concerns about DHSC depreciation are warranted because the car seems to be priced further above the 2020-22 GT500 than it ought to be. And to a lesser extent because it's a '26. However, I believe the depreciation risk is greater in the others. Dealer add ons will be worth very little on...

I had a performance shop install my suspension mods and a muffler shop do my H pipe, but I know several people who do that stuff themselves. One guy installed his procharger. I recall seeing posts on the 6G forum by people from the UK explaining how strict the insurance companies are about...

It would be interesting to see a test comparison of the Hennessy Venom, Shelby GT350 and Super Snake, Saleen Black Label, RTR Spec 3, etc., with the objective of determining which one is most overpriced. :crackup: The Hennessy would appear to be the front runner.

It must be frustrating when everyone doesn't play, though. Toyota and Honda seem to have captured a little bit of market share since the 70s. :wink:

Mustangs of all generations have never been popular for throwing a family in to go everywhere. The issue is much of the demographic that likes Mustangs can't afford a 2nd or 3rd car.

We would have known by now if there was a refresh for the 2027 MY. I would guess Ford is keeping 2026 Mustang production going a little longer because of the late timing of the 2026 Dark Horse SC. They wouldn't want to be building 2026 DH SCs at the same time as 2027 models of other trim levels.

I think the S650 is a much smaller incremental improvement compared to the jump from S197 to S550. Except for styling changes it's more like the 2018 S550 refresh. Improved, yes. Enough to warrant being labeled a new generation, no.

At the end of the day the exciting part of this topic is Ford potentially rolling out the engine that revs to 9,000 RPM. What they ultimately decide to call it matters little to me.

This actually makes some sense. It would need to be priced below the Dark Horse SC, though. Maybe a boosted version of this engine could be in the next iteration of the GTD.

I don't figure @dhammy fabricated the message from his dealer he showed in post #18. It's also easy to understand why he would believe what he was told, given they re-did his order. It boils down to whether the dealer gave him accurate information about 104 cars. LOL, no one is arguing that...

People with boosted cars typically use 5W50.

Yeah if that's not a red flag for that dealer I don't know what is. 😁

So do you think he is lying to us or his dealer is lying to him? :) I think it's less likely that someone would come on here and make up this story than Ford deciding not to issue a press release on it. Maybe Ford eventually will do so after a thorough assessment of the damage?
