There have been a few 18's making their way here the last few weeks. I believe a red GT PP, lightning blue GT PP both around 40k or just under, and a black Ecoboost (don't remember the price). None were premium if I recall correctly. My impressions: 1) Lightning blue looks great on the...

Well that's 7.2 liters. Didn't Ford supposedly have an engine in development with that displacement? GT500? What can I say. I'm just trying to stir the pot.

SPECIAL EDITION 440 SIX_PACK is the headline under one of the images in the second link. Mean anything?

Have any 17's had issues? I wonder if Ford quietly made changes (besides just the cooling being standard on the 17) that fixed a known design flaw causing oil consumption on some pre 2017 models. The problem is quiet changes aren't so quiet on a transparent internet now days. The problems can't...

It would be interesting to know what kind of durability testing they went through with the GT350 specifically. One would think it would need to be just as stringent as higher volume vehicles like the standard mustangs but maybe not since it's such a smaller run? A hand built engine like the...

I've been doing some interesting cross shopping for a while and was about 95% certain a GT350 would be my next vehicle. As I hear and read more about these failures, oil consumption, and metal in the oil, I am really starting to have my doubts about this engine. Especially, considering the car...

I've actually seen/listened to this video. I'm more curious with in person accounts from those who have heard the exhausts I mentioned. Videos, while great starting points, can vary greatly depending on the mic used and the speakers/headphones used to listen. Someone else's ears are also...

Has anyone heard the new active exhaust option on the 18 in person? I'm wondering how it compares to the sound of the Camaro's NPP exhaust and how it compares to aftermarket exhausts on the current 5.0. I'm wondering about loudness and tone both. I think the NPP has a decent tone for a stock...

Does anyone know which blue is shown in the 2018 photos on Ford's site? It looks too light to be Kona but also seems too dark for Lightning. I'm guessing the lighting/shadows are making it deceiving as to the actual color.

That photo also shows just how poorly fit those hood vents are. They do look like something you'd buy from an auto parts store and install yourself. I am thinking the fake ones you stick on with 3M double-sided tape.

Ford is hopefully listening to some of the feedback. Although this site represents a minority of the total Mustang owner population, it is important to listen to those who tend to be the most vocal enthusiasts. As someone who has never owned a Mustang myself (almost did once), I get a lot of the...

Thanks for the descriptions. Does the hood also appear shorter when looking at the profile from a distance? The mustangs I've driven, I always feel like I'm driving one of those old boats from the 70s or 80s that have the hood that seems to never end. My grandma had one (I don't recall the...

For those of you who have seen the 18 in person, does the hood look longer that the 15-17 model? In pictures, it almost seems like it looks shorter in the profile due to the downward taper at the front of the hood. I know the long hood has been a mustang trademark, but driving a 15-17, that was...

Lol. I'd rock that. It's like a Dodge Magnum with mustang front end and taillights. The woody theme is just icing on the cake. ☺️
