2016 GTPP owner here; Lots of crybabies claiming that the recently released dyno figures aren't trustworthy and that the '18 doesn't produce anymore than the factory claimed 460hp and 420lbft of torque. I personally don't find 485hp and 440lbft worth upgrading, but at least I'm honest enough to recognize that the new engine puts my second gen coyote to shame.

I doubt those figures, though they did back it up with the track run, but am not butt hurt. Mostly doubt the numbers just bc they're higher for15-17s with mods than almost anywhere else including a lot of people here. I'm glad mustang is gonna at least close the gap with SS if not outright beat it.

Either way i wouldn't pay that price for what the equivalent new version is. I'd look at corvette probably. Or gt350 or something along those lines.

I'm glad Ford stepped up their game. It'll push the other two to do the same. No butt hurt here either. I could have waited for the 18, but instead decided to order a 17 for a few reasons. 1. I wanted grabber blue. 2. Although the a10 is probably a bmf, the a6 is proven and will get me to my goal with the car. 3. I didn't want direct injection. I had a 16 2ss that had 16xx miles on it when I sold it. It was a bad ass car, but aside from the performance and all the fancy electronic stuff, it kinda sucked to drive. Couldn't see crap. Anyone that says it's not bad is in denial. And direct injection limited it to about 600 at the wheels. Anything more and you needed some form of additional fuel system. Nope. To much bs. For my 17 gt, I have a pile of boxes in my garage, everything Kelly from BMR recommended, full 3" exhaust (including 1 7/8 headers that I no longer need), TSS opg's and cs, and in a week or so, a BW tt kit will be joining the pile. I want a 9 sec car I can dd if I want. The 15-17s have proven combos with solid tunes that will get me there for less than the 18. This will be my winter project.

I know this will be locked but the post is ridiculous. I paid 29, 500 for my loaded 15 with under 10k miles, any idea what kind of a monster I could turn it into for appx 15 k.

The 2018 wouldn't hold a candle to it.

I'm test driving a 2017 tomorrow because I really like Grabber Blue.

The 2018 Mustang is a flaming bag of dog shit. [/sarcasm]

There will always be a bigger and better model. Look at Apple. Now there's an iphone X. Damn thing looks the same to me but people pay for innovation. I'm good with my 17. I realized I'm going to daily drive this thing until it dies. The 18's want to mess with me later? I won't care. I'll just pick my battles wisely.

Upset the orange fury is not really "orange" like the comp orange I have....
Sounds crazy but that's keeping me from trading in. Don't want to give up my comp orange collection.

The title said 15-17 owners, who cares if I bought it lightly used the point is still the point. Not Butthurt.

If the new mid-engined corvette can be had for less than $80k, I might be tempted. Same goes for the gt500.

If an 18 comes along side of my 16 GT I will just flash my hood scoop turn signal in his face and yell " What's the matter, Butt Hurt?'

And it will be if it has less than 10k miles on it.

I like the digital gauge, spoiler, and hp numbers of the 18. That’s it. I don’t even like the looks in person. I think what Ford has done with the new car is very respectable, but I don’t want one. No butt hurt here.
