Sad that at times in the past year or so, you could get 20% off a camaro with a 6.2, but a mustang with a 7.0 will probably be close to 100 grand.
Why? If Ford can make a 8,250 rpm flat plane crank Mustang for under 60k, I don't see any reason why they can't make a 7.0L V8 car for roughly the same price.

The analogy to what a turbo can do is not applicable with NA. With everything now fairly optimized with the 2018 5.0 NA, in order to get more than 470hp you simply have to rev higher. Any any higher gets you into Voodoo territory.
Who said anything about a turbo ?

This looks really cool. But somehow the color seems pretty dark compared to other Kona pictures. Seems like the color will really differ very much on sunshine. Compare that to this pic:

Made an modded EU model out of thic pic really quick :D

Looks perfect topnotch. Thanks for the pic. Certainly seems like a lot of contrast in colour depending on amount of sunlight.
Time to change my sig to Kona I think.

I'm loving the lowered hoodline on the 18. That car is going to look nasty in dark colors like black, magnetic and kona. The lower mesh grill helps clean up the front end a bit.

Holy crap! I've just now noticed the hood ridges blend into the fender instead of being straight back spears.

That's the same exact Kona Blue GTPP picture I saw but wasn't allowed to share, must be a pic going around among Ford employees or something. Glad it got out. The color looks awesome in that shot.

If the "new" Kona Blue is the same as it is on my 2011 GT, it's quite dark and looks almost "blurple" unless it's in direct sunlight. I like the color a lot when the sun hits it just right, but on cloudy days I'd prefer that it be slightly brighter and less purple.
