The other issue is that in 2018 there were quite significant incentives that further lowered the price. The MSRP of my GT was $39k even though I paid $31k for it (plus tags, tax, etc..). It wasn't uncommon to see new GTs listed for $28-29k. An EB could be had for under $20k... So while the MSRP...

So realistically you are not walking out the door of a dealer with a BASE model EB for less then $34k.... I paid that much for my BASE GT in 2018... IMO they have priced alot of potential buyers out with these figures.

Absolutely agree. I think that has alot to do with the fact that the dual screens appear to have reduced bezels.

I honestly wouldn't complain if something like this was developed.... Follow Dodge in making a one size fits all "sedan" that can be either 2 or 4 door (hasn't been shown yet for dodge but likely will be the case) with a "hatch" for more usability. This is the only way I see the mustang living...

It is honestly nice seeing cars sit on the lot finally. Gives me hope that while MSRP might climb, incentives and discounts will finally be a thing again… While a 2018 MSRP was $37k, you could routinely find one for$28-29k.

So how do you think they are making these cars? They need the tooling to make them as well no? My point is that the inner structure of a S550 is likely very similar if not identical to a 24 so it would be EASIER for ford to take a 23 to make a 24 for show as that would not require additional...

So...... The roofline has not changed for 24 (the body line was lowered 10-15mm), the quarter panel outer skin is what changed and is welded to the inner structure, c-pillar is part of the quarter panel. It would absolutely be possible for a MY22-23 to be rebodied (or rather have 24 outer...

Based off of what the chief engineer said in the podcast, I doubt we will see much of an HP increase over the current HO (330hp) model. Sounds like the upgrades were focused on making the engine more efficient for emissions. So maybe a bit more MPG and HP that would match the HO model. Power...

I am tempted to go with a S650 EB because of these upgrades.... I already have the V8 so the S650 would be my daily. 330hp with 30+mpg (highway) would be nice!

They likely have yet to finalize the base interior materials/options which is why we have no official pictures. Personally, I think the separate screens look better then the fake one piece glass with two displays...

Yes but that is assuming Ford doesn't pad the GT numbers a bit to squeeze a bit more profit out of it. $29,995 and $39,995 would allow Ford to keep both models "below 30 starting" and "below 40 starting". That being said, those numbers are pretty close to the current numbers so who knows...

Considering the EB no longer has a manual transmission option (add $1600 to the current base price for the auto) I think we will see a starting price at or just over $30-32k. The GT usually has a $10k markup over the EB so $40-42k for a base GT.

Vapor blue looks to be Area 51 with metal flake added. Area 51 is not a metallic color where vapor blue has a metallic quality based off of the color sample pictures.

The platform certainly isn’t equipped for traditional AWD but the rumor was that it was going to be electrified with two electric motors mounted to the oil pan of the V8 powering the front wheels.

2025 was also the rumored release of that AWD hybrid. Maybe the GT500 was slated to get that powertrain as a replacement for the predator. With the recent rumors stating that it was canceled though, maybe the 500 is going to go with a more traditional supercharged coyote (5.4 perhaps?).

Ok then, so if this is real then it’s the same damn intake with two throttle bodies slapped on….

Well…. I can find elements of the S650 I like, that Area 51 shot is awesome looking to me. Like the steering wheel, center console, hate the dash…. I like the concept of a driver oriented cockpit, dislike how they removed the double brow dash to do it. I absolutely HATE the rear… Looks like a...

They could have just altered the firing order. Going back to the original mod motor firing order would give it a deeper/classic rumble as opposed to the more raspy sound we are used to from a coyote.

How about not having to change brake pads for 100-150k miles? Little to no brake dust, etc…. That real world enough? Also, the charge rate is quite significant. What limits it is the battery’s ability to accept the energy. That’s also why if a battery is charged to near its maximum capacity...

Turn it off if you don’t like it…. Every EV has that option. But I will also say don’t knock it till you try it….
