There are various Bolt-On Kits available for the Gen 3 Coyote (same 12:1 Compression Ratio), and Ford Performance are releasing an 800HP version for the 2024, so there should be no problem. Try Mustang Motorsports or Herrod.
You might think a $15K or 20% price increase is acceptable or normal, I think it is outrageous,
especially when the equivalently configured host car has a minimal US150 increase over the previous year, and the (temporary) diminished Exchange rate accounts for under $3.5K.
I think there will be...
There are a lot of errors there - here are some corrections:
Mustang GT – PP1 (Australia)

Even worse, it is 2Nm Less than the GT - Crazy - like the pricing !
So the DH / GT has gained a portly 96Kg, with only a 10/08 Kw gain on the 2018-23 Aus FN GT, and 8/6 Nm LESS !
Unfortunately, notwithstanding the unfavourable exchange rates, we are being seriously Ripped-Off, as the similarly Configured Host US DH & GT had a minor US$1700 and US$150 Price increase respectively over the previous year model.
FoA apparently have interpreted the Pricing Tolerance of the...
Yep, The Dark Horse has been nobbled before the starting Gate - the crazy thing is it is only 2 Kw more than the GT and 2 Nm less!
As for the GT - also verry disappointing:
Power 347kW @ 7,250rpm (Minus 15.4Kw from US S650 @ 362.4Kw – Plus 8 Kw from previous FN)
Torque 550Nm @ 4,850rpm...
HaHa, Thanks for your concern :), I was otherwise engaged yesterday. I was expecting some increase (circa $2-5K), but was arguing that a major increase like that OUTRAGEOUS $15k was completely Unjustified, in the context of the minor Pricing Increase on the equivalently Configured US car - and...
Errr......saving the improvements for Australia - or saving Australia for the improvements ? Or will it be Job# 10 before we see our first S650? Cough....Cough
For us in Aussie, these exasperating delays could actually work out in our favour for once ! (or maybe not lol)
Doesn't surprise me, Dealers testing the market to see what the think they can screw out of buyers - although until Thursday all Dealer pricing is just a stab-in-the-dark, as they usually know even less than us, lol.
Blitz, I am inclined to agree with you, it would not surprise me if FoA formed a distorted view of Mustang Demand and Pricing Tolerance, and see that as a green light to indulge themselves in Price Gouging (a stunt possibly some Dealers will also try).
I was just trying to present some...
Just to clarify - as LCT does NOT include (how generous!) "other Australian taxes, fees or charges such as stamp duty, transfer fees and registration - and CTP" this should mean a (NSW) Drive Away Price of approximately $81K before the LCT Threshold impacts pricing (from that point onwards)...
