I'm sure Ford was trying to keep costs down. Put too much custom stuff on the car and it might become expensive. I fully support the freedom of people to buy whatever stupid stuff they want. Any new car is financially not the optimum decision.

I feel the same way. I love Mustangs and I want Ford to continue building them. I learned this the hard way on my tech pack GT350. No problems so much from a defect standpoint, but for some reason Ford didn't think tech pack buyers would track their cars. Just an incorrect assumption. Ford...

I never liked the 4.6 engine. The 302 was a really good engine that could make decent power cheaply, and it was simple and easy to modify, but to me the 4.6 was a bit of a boat anchor. I also didn't like the body shape between 1994 and 2004. The later versions and Cobras were ok looking, but...

All three are great cars. You can't go wrong with any of them. I still miss my GT350. I had it over 3 years and put over 30,000 miles on it. I sold it due to the cost of consumables (I'm including the engine here, because with sufficient track and daily use engines will wear out). It would...

Pretty much in the ballpark of what I expected. As of three years ago, loaded up Hellcats were close to $100K. The $103K "cheap" version is a little less than I thought and the top version is a little more. Unfortunately, that's what high performance low volume cars seem to cost lately.

It's ok. I don't mind reading your thoughts on this discussion forum. No need to apologize. You are 100% right that I'm never completely satisfied and always hoping for Ford (or really any car manufacturer) to build a better vehicle than what I currently own. I will continue driving my 2017...

Probably the best way to get what I want is buy a C5 or C6 and swap a body with some head room onto it.

I'd like to see it, but I'd be surprised if the GTD is close in performance to a Ford GT. The 1,000 lb weight difference will probably more than offset the increased power. The GTD might be more fun to drive, though. 50/50 weight balance won't have excessive traction like a mid-engine car...

I guess most people seem to hate the wheels. I don't mind them at all. I think it's cool Ford did a departure from the norm. I wouldn't pay for the wheels, but I do kind of like them. The blue and white look terrific together. I like the interior, too. The only part I really don't like...

All the stuff about tariffs is fun, but Ford increased prices on Mustangs in 2025 before Trump took office. Then, Ford announced a sale after the tariffs were started. The sale partially reduces prices, but the sale prices are still higher than last year's "normal" prices. Bottom line for me...

I'm here because I WANT a new Mustang. I'm glad you like your new Mustang, but not many people are buying them anymore. I want Mustang to become a best seller that's hard to resist.

I feel like new cars just aren't better than something built 8-10 years ago. So why upgrade? I would like to want a new Mustang, but I prefer not to have direct injection, PWTA cylinder bores, over 4,000 lbs weight or a huge price tag. And I don't think the issues are specific to Ford. Heck...

Like everyone said - it's a combination of a lot of things. High interest rates. High insurance costs. People are having trouble affording basics, and Mustangs are a luxury item. Modern cars spy on their owners. High price. Performance didn't improve measurably. I think those are the biggest...

The people who own a GT3 Porsche are very, very similar types of people to those who will end up with a GTD. Similar types of income, similar types of jobs, similar in how they treat their cars. Yes, most GTDs won't get raced, but most Mustangs in general don't get taken to the track. Or if...

AWD is not really needed so much with a transaxle. And I would use something NA like you are suggesting as well to improve usability even more. I think the less costly NA mill with a cheaper manual transaxle and the GTD SLA front and rear suspension would be a much more compelling package for...

Yes, the tires will wear out quickly, but they produce amazing best lap times for videos and magazines. Plus amazingly short stopping distances. I prefer ~300 tread wear rated tires for a performance car. Yes, your times aren't as fast, but I'm not winning trophies no matter which tire I use...

The supercharger doesn't 100% guarantee a car will be slow on track. It's actually possible to cool one. Hellcats and Demons do seem to have great straight line acceleration even after a number of laps. I do agree with the weight argument. More cubic inches is a better way to get to the...

Yes. Now if Ford would only offer a "real" version that all of us can buy. I hate when the best styling is reserved for a car that is unobtainable. I would consider a Mustang with the right equipment for $100K. I would be willing to forgo all carbon fiber, the supercharger and the DCT...

That's a LOT of roll stiffness.

The stickiest, fastest wearing out tires of any street car.
