We need to find out the company that makes that front splitter and buy stock in it. :biglaugh:

Running boards??? Looks like a midget edition, use the splitter to check the oil, running boards to climb in. You're screwed when it comes to trunk access, there's no shelf to stand on back there.

The fact that you can order it with no A/C is great. I wish Ford would do that.

Im just not "wowed" by the body. The drivetrain is stout, but I think they missed on the looks. Still prefer a Mustang or Challenger over this.

I might be the minority on this, but I like it. Looks good, AND it has an LS7... Looks like carbon brakes too. I'd take one. :pepper:

Not completely true. I've been married for like 8000 years. :sticktonge:

Well thank you

What's the price?

speculation is around 5K less than Zl1 which would put it around 50K. No official word though that I've seen

it may be that I drive a Chevy now but I like the way it looks with that color combo. I'm still not fond of the interior on those cars though, too small.

i think the outside looks good, and we all know the pushrod chevy motors can put down a lot of NA power. i hear sitting in the car and driving it is horrible, though.

I cant hate Camaros. a 580 hp 70 1/2 z28 is where i learned about speed cammed beyond belief with open headers going through the fort pitt tunnel made me love all muscle cars.

This is true, but what I meant was peeps will be ripping that thing off like crazy.

I read on another site the MSRP will be "on par" with the current ZL1 --- $55K.

Like somebody said above, I think the 1LE is the best looking of the bunch. They should give it the same diet as the Z/28.

there are things I like and things I dont like. According to motor trend they said they were told that the base price would be close to 60k.

With that said. If its true and it does cost that, Seems its just being built to give buyers another option instead of the zl1.

lol All the chevy guys should probably wait a few weeks till Ford announces the details of the 2015 stang before talking crap. We all know what happened last time they got all pumped about their ZL1 - Ford said "o rlly?!" and released the details of the '13 GT500 and completely owned them. Shut up the chevy fan boys realllll quick :rotflol:

Haha true true. My cousin who is a Chevy LS nutswinger posted this yesterday. And I was thinking the same thing. All the Chevy fan boys will be all excited for a few hours until ford unleashes their ass kicker haha.

Hey, Mustangs wil always be my favorite car till i die. However, my dads first car was a 68' Z/28 Camaro back in 1970 so this is kinda cool they are brining it back. However there are a few things id change to the new one...

If Ford would bring back a stripped base model Mustang with a 3 valve 4.6 option
they would way, way, way outsell the Camaro in total unit sales.

The fact is Ford doesn't care if Mustang is the sales leader in this segment.

They care more about Ford CAFE mpg average and total units sold.

And they are leading the US industry in that regard.

Look up the history of Mustang, the base V8 models account for a large percentage of
total Mustang sales. This gets back to the original pony car concept. A base model with
a small V8 for the pony car vibe. The 4.6 is the modern base V8 and if it was an option
on the base model Mustang it would generate a lot more sales.

Why the 4.6???

PaceFever79
03-29-2013, 04:17 PM
Why the 4.6???

Smaller, cheaper to produce, get better gas mileage, but it still performs well
enough to be exciting and has aftermarket parts if desired. From a marketing
standpoint, it also keeps in place the upgrade to the GT 5.0

Most people who bought the 4.6 base models would be folks just looking for
sporty transportation rather than a fire breathing road car.

The problem with Mustang sales, it has strayed too far from its roots.

The V8 cars range from expensive, to poor man exotics.

I hope you never get a job at Ford... the 3.7 V6 is almost as powerful at the 3 valve 4.6...

Why don't you buy one then???

Because it doesn't have that V8 rumble, it probably doesn't even get better
gas mileage than a 4.6 in real world driving (power to weight)

And Mustang sales are in the tank...

PaceFever79
03-29-2013, 05:01 PM
I'm not advocating that Ford drop the V6 (or the ecoboost 4 cyl)

It should increase the base model engine list to include the 4.6 V8 option.
With stock suspension, and with a suspension/brake upgrade.

More choice, not less, that was the gold formula.

Just what the Mustang needs, a V8 model with V6 performance at V8 pricing. The '10 wasn't much cheaper than the '11, not sure how a choice of less power (with no better MPG) with some rumble is going somehow drive sales.

I do get what your saying. In some ways i dont like how Mustangs usually are the cheaper V6 options. But in the same token in 1969, there were so many engine options. 200, 250, 302, 302 4B, 351, 351 4B, 390, 428. (Boss 302/429)
So many options!
