2024 Mustang (S650) Specs Sheet / Technical Data

[Ace]

yeah if there would have been a big difference most likely they would have wanted to hint that! As long as the weight is the same 20-40 will not make that much of a difference specially not with a manual car when launching

Yeah, just had the 18 Camaro SS 8AT and GT 10AT on a dragstrip as european models. The Camaro easily beat the Mustang every single time, so the EU Dark Horse really have to come with a good step up. 20hp difference isn't as important as structural changes to improve handling and launching.
Can't wait go get more details on S650 and when magazines will get their hands on the car on a track

seems to be easier to go decat/changing to high flow cats? header on both sides seems to connect via connections to the cats on both sides or was this also the same on the 18+ I cannot even remember how it looked on mine

You are correct. Previous exhaust manifolds had the cats and manifold as a one piece on the driver side and as a 2 piece on the passenger side. This new design will be a lot better and I predict it will make many more people buy some cat delete tubes instead of buying full headers.

Why spend $1,500+ and hours of labor to do headers when you could spend $300 and do the install in 30 min. You probably would not gain that much more hp with full headers especially with just a standard fbo car.

Seems Ford have reverted back to steel front fenders. They are aluminum on S550

Gotta keep that curb weight up.

Mustang should beat the Camaro. I know the European mustangs aren’t as powerful as the American mustangs tho.

Math is hard, stay in school kids.

According to the specs, the 5.0L now measures as a 307 cubic inch V8 not as a 302 cubic inch engine V8.

The Coyote engine has had 307 cubic inches of displacement since the 2018 model year with the introduction of the Gen 3. This is no different than the engine that has powered the last 5 years of Mustang GTs.

No. Current mustang is 5038cc and when you convert cc to ci, is 307.438

I have mentioned it before, don't think it would have beat my old GT

what was the ET and what speeds?

All things considered it’s relatively the same weight as the S550.

Did Ford seriously just drop that POS Getrag that they’re being sued over into the last combustion engine Mustang? Was hoping for the 3160, but of course that’s in the DH.

Lets hope it’s not the MT-82.

Of course it is. What else did you think you were going to get? The Tremec was a forum wet dream.

According to the Car and Driver reporter, this S650 is nothing but a reskinned S550 with more bells and whistles.

Do we really need a Car & Driver reporter to tell us this?

No weight loss....very disappointed.

Overall I like the looks of the car but there really isn't anything different about the car compared to the S550. It's just a slightly improved S550.

Anyone have the spec sheet on the Dark Horse S and R?....and the GT3 car?

 

[Bikeman315]

Have a question. Why isn't Ford using a DCT like what's in the current GT500? My last 4 cars had some version of a DCT. IMO, for me, it's the only way to go. Not a big fan of the current 10 spd auto I have in my '22 GT, especially that unbelievably jarring 1-2 shift. Thankfully, when in Sport paddle shift mode, I can start off in 2nd!

The same reason for why the standard cars don’t get a Tremec. Money!!! Honestly the DCT was unique to the GT500. Doubt we will ever see it again.

So far, the electric cars don't need transmissions, so I don't see Ford spending future R&D money on a replacement for the 6-speed.
