I'm right there with you. Once I heard from Matt Moran's YouTube channel that the S650 was going to be bigger, that was the nail in the coffin for me. I've owned 4 Mustangs and still have 2 of them. I'm done with Mustang until Ford gets the size and weight back under control. The current GT500 wasn't even a consideration after I heard how much it was going to weigh. I don't care how "great" it performs. All I can think of is how much better it would be, if it was 600 lbs lighter!You want a $100,000+ Mustang.
All this new Mustang talk has me feeling grumpy. I by far prefer a Fox-sized Mustang with modern suspension. Obviously not Fox styling, but Fox SIZE. Smaller, lighter, better performance without needing too many expensive add-ons to get there. The Mustang development (as well as any other performance automotive development) should use the McLaren F1 as a model for how to make decisions. If it adds weight, don't do it.
I'm really afraid that future Mustang models are going away from what I always loved about the Mustang (and why I've owned so many). Small, inexpensive, V8 engine.
I really, really hope Ford proves me wrong and when the next Mustang comes out I will feel compelled to buy.
