Oh, you're preaching to the choir now boyo. I feel as though the mustang and Corvette have followed similar trajectories. Both have been entirely, or mostly front engine, RWD throughout their history. Both names have been used on multiple mid-engine concepts, both have been running into the issue of producing so much power that it's becoming harder to take advantage of it.
Electric supercharger
Possibly could happen, hope those “true” mustang enthusiast don’t start complaining about that because I think that’s another reason why Ford is keeping just pure v8 to please people who are totally against eletric anything
Yeah, I hope they don't complain either. I'm just glad we have a coupe Mustang still. I think you're right, they were appeasing those people. Similar to the Mustang and Mazda Ford Probe thing from the late eighties.
Same reason why they made it have similarities to the fox body mustangs, I’m sure they withheld lots of technology or even a more modern design to try to keep in touch with others who might go against them if they went too far
I'd be perfectly fine with it as it is amazing technology from what I hear.
That’s what’s really needed, we need more mid engine cars , give me a roof scoop tho those are sexy lmao
Ford trademarked Thunderbird a while ago. Maybe...
If I had to get a replacement car/vehicle immediately within next 3-5 years, I think maverick hybrid is top of list. rode in one it's a nice vehicle and priced attractively. but I am hoping by time my little daily driver 2012 scion tc dies, (200k now) but it doesnt burn or drip any oil between my 15k interval oil changes. if when it dies, and EV is mainstream, and priced right, I will buy an EV
You're speaking my language now. Ford is testing multiple c8s, and ford has said they will expand the mustang brand. Some could say they were benchmarking the c8 against the s650, but that's very unlikely. I think they could actually offer something in price comparable to the c8.
Ford has to if lotus could at a great price point and from what I be reading and seeing it looks like a pretty good car. Chevy was able to do it as well so I’m sure Ford can do it and make it pretty affordable because it seems like mid engine cars are the next waveYou're speaking my language now.

They have the dct from the gt500 already developed, they already have a bunch of high performance v8s. They could maybe carry over a few suspension components from the gt, maybe even the carbon fiber tub possibly. Something starting at 70 grand and going up to maybe 150 or 200.
If gm with no mid-engine experience having to learn and develop everything from scratch can make the c8 profitable at sub 70 grand, and Lotus, a small brand with no resources can as well, then I don't see why ford couldn't with all their parts, resources, and know how.
