Im eager to see it, although the pre-2010 S197 was the last Saleen that really got me excited. (I still say the “New Edge” Saleen was the coolest to do it) The bigger, softer bodies of the S550+ don’t look as good with all the body kits, wings, and such imo.
Pretty cool, especially the specs. But I’ve got to imagine the market for a half-million dollar Mustang that looks like a life-sized Hot Wheels toy is insanely small. I love Mustangs but if I had $500k to burn it wouldn’t be on this.
The fog lights on my SN95 literally make no difference whatsoever if the headlights are already on. Only way I “use” them is with the parking lights/ headlights off.
How often do you think of your trans/oil pan material? The composite pan on my coyote feels MUCH harder and robust than the metal pan on my 4.6 or 5.3… the only related gripe I have is that stupid yellow oil plug.
Who knows. The popular answer is “yes” but without a Camaro or Challenger and the “Dark Horse” making 500hp as the designated track model, you’d have to wonder if Ford doesn’t just cop out here. Additionally they’d be tasked with one-upping the current model… which is already a ludicrous...
It’s funny because if Ford called this a Boss the other half of the ppl on this forum would be making these exact same posts…
I do think “Dark Horse” is kinda cheesy. They should’ve just called it the “Mustang FP500” (Ford Performance 500). A nod to the old FR500 track models. That would’ve...
I think a TTv8 or a big block Mustang has a snowball’s chance in hell for debuting after 2022… you’ll likely see a hybrid “powerboost” type drivetrain or a BEV. If the Predator is truly put to rest, then I think DH is the last true ice performer we’ll get. Maybe I know nothing tho…
