Probably all their 18MY reveals. F-150, Mustang, Expedition/Navigator, Focus..
Haha, I'm with you. In the absence of substantive info I start getting other ideas ... like can I afford a Shelby now that they're at sticker? can I daily drive a Corvette? ... The curse of loving cars that are mathematically possible to own but potentially financially ruinous!Oh well......it took my mind off the impending '18MY for a few minutes
(but, will someone PLEASE officially confirm it's coming on January 9th at Detroit!!!!)
All I read was Mustang
Just give it time...
Their press conference is always in Joe Lewis Arena. They always seem to need the room. 2015 for the Ford GT, Raptor and GT350R reveals all at once, 2016 for all the new Fusion models shown at the same time. This year will at least be 2018 Mustangs and F-150s but there's also a report today that they'll show off their near production ready new driverless technology in a Fusion which will be show both at CES and NAIAS.
The PP will be notably improved over the 15-17, and you'll have a host of other options to make it feature competitive. That said, it'll still be less track-focused than the 1LE and there will still be a base, non-PP offering to allow those who just want a V8 GT car, and aren't so concerned with having the highest performing car on paper.
Any thoughts on what the "Performance Pack 2" might bring to the table?
If you think about the 13-14 Shelby, cranking out 662 at the flywheel, consider that the blower consumed 75-100 more hp (at red line), we've already had a 700+ horsepower emissions equivalent Mustang, might as well get it all without the blower penalty.
So true, It annoys me that so many people make absolutes about a car based on it's quarter mile, lap time, hp numbers, etc. How is the car to use as a CAR? aka driving in traffic, ride quality, visibility, comfort, tech, etc etc., not as a track toy that it may be utilized as twice a year. I'm all for performance and lap times, but it's one piece of the puzzle, not the whole story
No way a coyote based anything can hit 7.0L. Its probably gonna be an evolution of the 6.2L. Probably equivalent to what the coyote was to the 4.6 or what the Voodoo is to the coyote. The fact they say lighter leads me to believe it may have an aluminum block. The 6.2L heads can already flow the air for +800HP with port work from only 2 valves. A 4 valve head would definitely get the job done. But then you may have to chop the deck down to fit DOHC into a Mustang. But SOHC 4v heads wouldn't be to bad. Then again who knows how big the S650 engine bay will be. All just fun speculation. 700HP N/A with a 8000RPM redline would be epic if the car doesn't weigh 2 flippin tons
