We should definitely get HP figures next week. I would be shocked if we didn't.I'll be there for sure. Anyone else? Can't do a group photo with just 2 ppl. I'm also curious about a few things since it's really the first major debut of the car at an auto show.
1. Is Ford putting on any special event (besides a press conf) to introduce the car or any other Mustang related anniversary festivities?
2. What blanks do we expect Ford to fill in?
We're still missing info on power/torque, mpg, weight, pricing, packages..... what else ?
I hope so but I wouldn't be surprised if they waited until the NY show in April. They may still have a month or two of testing yet.We should definitely get HP figures next week. I would be shocked if we didn't.
This is my thinking..............they'll share most of the information around the 50th AnniversaryI hope so but I wouldn't be surprised if they waited until the NY show in April. They may still have a month or two of testing yet.
do they ever officially debut a production car (not a concept) at a major show and not have power figures? isn't that really unusual?
They did the same thing with the Focus ST when it came to the DFW auto show. They didn't have price or power numbers for me.yea but they've always had the power figures ready for detroit in the past and it's always called pre production until they actually start Job1 and sell it no?
im just saying this isnt a concept or anything. they are showing a car that will be mass produced. i could be wrong but i cant remember the last time that happened at a major show and they didnt have the hp figures.
Eh, i'll take that damn red car any day of the week. ;) , seriously at least we're being shown the real deal.other than show that same damn red car
I wouldn't put it past Chevy to re tune their 2014 Camaros for 5 hp above the Mustang to try to spoil the anniversary. They're currently sitting at 426 horsepower and 420 lb.-ft. of torque.I don't know why they wouldn't reveal the figures, unless they're still fine tuning. Most people know the ballpark for each motor, so whatever numbers they release likely aren't going to be anything earth shattering.
My thoughts exactly. They aren't still trying to figure out the HP; the numbers are no doubt already set and with mostly carryover engines there is no reason to expect anything unexpected. I think the reason they didn't want to release it for the reveal was to have the focus on the new design, the great proportions of the car, the increased interior room, etc. as there was more than enough questions for them to handle at once. All the finer technical specs can be saved for the big auto shows and I think we will get at least one piece of that puzzle on Monday.I don't know why they wouldn't reveal the figures, unless they're still fine tuning.
