Upshot? I'm as concerned for the future of the V-8 as any of you but What might the upshot of this be? Consider whats being done with exotics using hybrid technology. The Porsche 918, McLaren P1, Ferrari LaFerrari and most recently the reborn NSX use hybrid tech in one way or another. Just like...

Nice rides fellas. Its great to see people from different countries/cultures draw together by a common passion.

I hope that os the case. I wish their business plan had included less weight from the outset. There are so many things about the current car that I love but the I don't begrudge the author his opinion. I feel that these fellas who test cars for a living don't necessarily dislike Mustangs or...

As you said Ford is a a multi billion dollar corporation. But then so is GM. Their profits from an inferior last gen Camaro (ZL1, 1LE, and Z28s being notable exceptions) were not shabby at all. The profits from this new Camaro I suspect will be very tidy as well. All the while delivering the...

Ford did use this line. Unfortunately GM was actually serious and came far closer to hitting (if not hit) the intended bogey. Ford promised weight loss and didn't deliver. The company takes the Apple approach: "We know what you want but we're giving you what we think you should have". GM put out...

Amen brother! Making excueses about weight and conspiracy theories as to why the current gen Stang doesn't measure up to the new Camaro is absolutely childish and classless. Chevy put out an ass kicking Camaro. Hands down. I guess all the car rags are on the take because every one of them (...

I'm sure at some point this thread will return to the issue of the GT350 and not a debate on friggin tire preferences.

Avis I rented through Avis. It wasnt cheap but I wanted seat time and it was the perfect companion for a visit to my hometown. To drive the highway and through my childhood haunts in such a wonderful Stang was a treasured experience for me. I regret not one dollar spent. $86.00 per day was...

I'm stationed in Japan but got the opportunity to return to the U.S. for a team trainer course prior to getting underway next year. One of my first plans was to rent a 15 Mustang and get a feel for the new pony. I was somewhat skeptical because I am a huge fan of the 13-14 GT and its fabulous...

The 9 speaker unit is the "standard" Shaker system available in the premium models. The up-level "Shaker 1000" has 12 speakers and a sub.

Sister: It shoots the horses on the ground!" Mother: "This is a really nice car." Nephews: Various oohs and ahhs. Random guy in restaurant lot with thumbs up: "Sweet Mustang" No negatives but several hard accelerations by fellow drivers in traffic or at stoplights. Too bad my 15 EB was...

This reply comes late in the day but i am compelled to join the debate. I will answer a question with a question: Does it truly matter what the next guy thinks? I would like to initiate a debate/conversation with the following question: Mustangs are not "just a ponycar". They are THE...

No auto option Sure didnt seem to lose Ford many sales of Cobras, and GT500's. Keep it as is: NO AUTO TRANS. There's plenty of automatic GT's for you to buy.

The Grille Horse They could get some lowly intern to staighten the friggin horse on the nose/grille?! It already looked like an afterthought but to top it off its crooked. other than that The side profile and tail look absolutely fabulous!!! The side scoops are a litle hokey but livable. The...

Bravo Ford! I commend Ford for having the balls to commit to something different and go out on a limb. As much as the media raved about the ZL1 and Z28 advancing the ponycar beyond its plebian roots, the GT350 raises the bar even further. If it performs less over all than the Z28 or worse the...
