We're not even into year 1 of S650 production and everyone thinks this is the G500 replacement. You think Ford is gonna leave a delta between a $70k DH and this $300k GTD? There will be plenty of other lesser models that will be released over the coming years that you guys can complain about.

You also conveniently forgot the 911 GT3. Honestly not bad company to be in if Ford did do this. Also BMW's don't have center exhausts out of the box. It is a factory aftermarket upgrade.

Beta testing is being incorrectly used here. An ICE car is not software. No one has ever said that the GT3 is beta for the GT3RS or GT2RS, or that the Mach 1 was beta for the Dark Horse. All that happened here is Ford took what worked from the GT350 and used it for the GT500 (also vice versa...

What issues have you been having? I thought the 2019 and 2020's had some significant quality of life changes that the previous years lacked.

What are people's thoughts on another GT350? Do you think Ford will release another one, especially now that the DH mostly occupies that space? If so, will the new 5.4 that Ford is fielding in IMSA possibly be the powerplant?

Not being sarcastic here, but when was the last time a crate engine was announced and then a special edition car revealed afterward WITH said crate engine included? Isn't it usually the other way around?

Wow, a lot of junk to unpack here. First of all, you can't compare a mass-production V8 to a bespoke LT5 that sits in a purpose-built track car. It's clear that GM wrote a blank check to create that engine and it is unfair to expect Ford to do the same for a 40-70k volume car. Ford said that...

Meh, there's only so many effective options for hood vents, and that's the one. There's a reason why the GT350/GT500 also have theirs in the same place. Just be thankful the S650 didn't go with dumbass hood nostrils a la Dodge.

As referenced above, a GT500 is already going to be produced for the seventh generation. The question we should be asking is, will there be another GT350?

He gave about as much detail as he could for a vehicle that isn't launching for almost another year. This dude also happens to be the chief engineer and not some rando PM, so he probably knows what he's talking about.

The one benefit of using the Dark Horse moniker is because it has no legacy tied to it, there shouldn't be any of the obscene markups that would typically accompany it since the boomers don't know what it is.

I pray to God I don't become this bitter when I reach boomer status.

Outside of the Mustang community, no one believes the S550 has what you would call a "nice" interior. This will be a welcome change to bring in new buyers as we all know that everyone crying in this thread wouldn't buy one anyway.

Right, but won't the redesigned NASCAR at least give us some design element clues for the actual car?

Not sure why Ford would ever spend the resources on developing a new I6 when there is a perfectly good 2.7/3.5 that works well for the Mustang. I do think that the Mustang will be offered with AWD, but only in a hybrid engine configuration. I also see the 5.0 soldiering on as the same 480hp...

Yep, couple that with the fact the C8 has gone upstream and the Camaro is a lame duck, Ford can now go hog wild with Mustang pricing as we have seen. And it's actually not just the Mustang, but pretty much all vehicles in their portfolio. The top end Bronco is 60k and only comes in the 2.7.

I think Ford spent waay too much money on that engine for it not to make a comeback in some form or fashion. Chevy just brought back the LT4 in the new CT6 Blackwing.

You guys really need to stop being so petty about this, because the other option is for Ford to completely kill off the Mustang. It's no secret that they are going all in on electrification so we should take what we can get. All of this has been argued ad nauseam with Porsche and what they've...

Yep, and I'd add that with the additional safety equipment, efficiency, technology, and performance that the price is inline.

Also it's his thread. Why are you so whiney?
