Yep. Seen a Porsche side view and it looked like a cross betwe a Mustang and Camaro. Was a Vs. race video. Plus not only does the DH eyeliner takes away from the front end looks , but the hood whatever it's called. Paint looks better than some big black stickers. A delete is avaiyfor 2025. I believe it does have a function, and that has to be to cut glare for track racing. Just like the Saleen. Instead of chrome fender badges denoting 302, they now use stickers. I don't put stickers on my ride. Unless it's a metal Red, White, and Blue flag for the rear deck. Even then it must not be so huge it sticks out like a sore thumb.
We're the same in that regard brother, no stickers on my vehicles either.

I go tomorrow to have a look at a 2023 Nite Pony. Strange thing is the roof is not painted black, but that fine with me, a plus actually. All badges are black, needs chrome grill horse. A10/3.55, 24K miles. Even though it's an automatic I have to have a white shifter ball like my 63 Impala SS. She had lines like a beautiful diamond 💎. Ignition was so worn out any key would start her. That was common until the ignition was put on the column.

Good luck hope it works out.

I'm so glad that at some stage I overdosed on confirmation bias.
Every car I've owned has been the bestest in every possible way.
Back to reality, I've had a few sh**boxes, but they did what i needed. Never had a crap bike though. Loved them all.

You guys let me know if you agree with these reasons or not, especially reason number 3 which I know can be subjective. If you're not interested in supporting me or my content I completely understand, but for those of you that want to be a part of a positive movement to keep companies like Ford producing fun V8 muscle cars, go ahead and watch the video and feel free to give me your feedback after watching.
I like your thinking. Extra weight makes a difference. I am waiting to order a 2026 GT Premium with 10 speedt R80 with PP which comes with a Torsen differential and 3.55 gears. Looking forward to the Adriatic blue exterior with Space Grey interior with Brembo red caliper brakes. Will have a spoiler delete and I will replace the wheels with the 60 year anniversary wheels, love the looks. This will be my 5th and final mustang. I currently do own a 2024 Ecoboost Premium with the PP and red brembo brakes, love the car and especially the GAS MILEAGE!!!! I am keeping it and am looking forward to my upcoming GT. Seniors do enjoy muscle cars, we just don't drive them like a bat out of hell.

oh. A comment I forgot to post days ago. Quest is over. Too much problems with used cars. Too many mods on them. Do my own mods. Picked up a 25 Oxford White 300A pure base. Going to put a Steefa Tri-ax race shifter. GT350 1/2 shafts, Steeda stop the hop, Steeds H-Pipe, Ford Tower and K brace. Procharger after they release them. Then 19s. My DH Premium is sold.

I think the eco is best looking of all.
wish Ford did V8 version - nice, clean, minimal
I think the Ecoboost grill looks better. No nostrils. Plus I like the running horse on the deck lid better than the GT. Now why would they call it a GT, Gran Torino? Isn't that the name of a Ford product from back in the early 70s? Ford sometimes seems confused.

GT means Grand Tourer or Grand Touring. It's a direct translation from the Italian "Grand Tourismo" which was the name Italians used for cars that traveled at high speed over long distances with luxury and comfort.

Ford's Gran Torino was named after a city in Italy called Turin, and came well after they started using the term "GT" on Mustangs.

So they couldn't name it after NY?
