Ford owns the Cobra name and badging. They have since the 1960's. Shelby America owns the trademarks for GT350 and GT500, they license those to Ford. That agreement has ended. Ford cannot build a new GT350/500 without a new agreement with SA. They can, however, build a Cobra.
N/A cars don't need/have heat exchangers. The car in those photos has a heat exchanger exactly where it was located on the previous GT500. That said, I would love a high-revving NA car with a stick.
The S650 is a complete failure for Ford. They are trying to right the ship by moving the refresh up to 2026. Part of the update will be the new Google based OS. Ford has no motivation to pour any money into Synce 4.
It will handle the power. The tires will save the trans. If you put slicks on it and launch hard on a prepped surface, you might ride home next to a tow truck driver.
What's under that cover is a marketing tool meant to keep us talking about the S650. It is intended to reignite the model going into 2025. Many owners are going to have to swallow a bitter pill when Ford announces the 2025 will feature Ford's new Google-based interface. That interface will...
The DH is Ford's attempt to maximize profits on the Mustang. If they can establish a performance variant that doesn't require them to pay Shelby a licensing agreement, there is more profit in it for them.
I can confirm there are different windshields based on your model. I had to replace mine(rock) and the dealership needed my VIN to ensure I got the correct glass.
If your dealer tries to void your warranty over springs, find a new dealer. If it is that much of a concern, just buy FP springs and have the dealer install them.
I'm saying that the dealer's sell rate has at least 1% baked into it. I know this isn't YSP, but it effectively is the same thing. That number will only increase when they can no longer make money through "BS" fees. Most finance guys prefer fees as it is "upfront" cash for them. Baking that...
On the Mach 1 the flare would rotate towards the back of the fender wall and meet up with the side skirt. There is no gap at the front because of the front air dam. Here is my Mach 1, I installed the moldings myself. They came in the trunk. You would want the protectin towards the back as that...
If you thought the finance manager was cooking consumers in the rate before, just wait. They will shift all their little "BS" charges to the rate. Never get a car note from a dealership. If the government actually cared about consumers, they would force all finance managers to show their YSP...
Ford wants a halo Mustang they don't have to pay Shelby America to license. A street version of the racing car makes the most sense. I would look for a street GT4 or GT3 before I hold my breath on the Shelby.
The Ford Performance Cobra Jet drag cars have been equipped with Whipples for years. The FP 700 package for the F150 is a Whipple. The Whipple kit is a direct bolt-on, Roush requires you to cut flanges off the block.
