Has anyone broke the code on the LCD instrument panel image Ford released? It makes a reference to the 1964 1/2 D code 289 CI. The 64 1/2 D code is for the 4 speed manual transmission and the LCD panel shows it in 4th gear, I have yet to determine what the 55 means on the speedo. And another question is Why does it show the LCD panel in 4th gear and also has an automatic gear indicator in (D)rive?

Roush will have a better front end ready before the car is even available to the public. Two other high profile aftermarket companies are working on one as we speak as well. Not a big deal. Other than the front, I have no complaints. There is no way the GT isn't going to be blistering quick plus the magnaride will be a game changer.

Very maserati looking in the pics. I'll stick to the Aston look.

I was 17 when the '67 Mustang was introduced with those twin chrome-trimmed instrument bezels and LOVE that my '17 has the same design. True, the trend is for the large electronic display screen but for me it just doesn't look like a Mustang instrument cluster without those beautiful round chrome bezels.

Is it just me... or do the front and back ends of the 2018 car now look mismatched (from a side on view - especially in those first two pics in post #1)?

The back's still got that high/muscle car look but the front looks like it's been borrowed from a Kia and completely lacks true aggression.

Glad I bought when I did...

Problem is that they are so far apart that you have parallax error with the Spoeedometer. For me, once the Seat and Wheel are adjusted, I can't see the Speed Indication.

They should have canted the internal Displays towards the Driver Eyes.

The GT350 has a digital Speed Option in the Information Display.

Too bad you can't update the non - 350 cars to provide everyone this Option. I consider it a Safety Feature.

At least the New Digital Display on the 18s gives you better Display Options.

Remember, the non GT 64/65 Mustangs had a Linear Display Similar to the new 18 Digital Display.

The Premium GT apps will allow you to display digital speed in the center.

I don't have an issue with the front end, with Mustangs we fall for each one and dislike each one's replacement, then fall for it just like we did the last. The changes on the 18 are so compelling. And sadly I believe the S650 will be a physically smaller car - terrific for winning races, not so good if, like myself you have use for a 2+2.

Saw the 2018 at the car show. Not a fan of any part of the new front end. Looking forward to see the new performance pack options and if it will hang with the SS 1LE
