2018 Mustang GT Revealed (Video)!!

[Katastrophe]

Forgive me if someone already pointed this out...but Ford is hiding some easter eggs in one of the gauge cluster photos.

1964.5 miles

289 miles to empty

Pretty significant, right?

What about the other numbers...like 4th gear and 55Mph?

Also the RPM in which the car is at (looks to be 4700RPM).

Might mean 470Hp/455Tq? - (Pure speculation, of course)

The Hp jump can be done...DI and a higher redline wouldn't make that a difficult task. The Tq is the bigger ask...but with DI and more compression, it could be possible to get there.

Considering some of the gains other DOHC N/A engines have made when they've got DI. Think smaller 4 cylinders from the likes of Honda or Mazda. Great torque from those little mills.

No way the car is getting 475 unless they have big plans for the 2020. It's a refresh. It will see around 15-25hp at most I bet. Just because DI/PI doesn't mean they are going to pull out all the power from it. They will trickle it because it most likely will be the same engine in the 2020.

I disagree. With a 400 rpm bump and 1 point in compression it will make 475 hp easily. I'm assuming with dual injection and the 400 rpm bump we will see a new intake manifold as well.

When are the numbers coming out?

Agreed, it's not great looking at all, just pointing out that it's not just this forum that is doing this: :barf:

I wasn't knocking you. Just it's obvious what we all see. :cheers:

I agree.

I need the gauge cluster in my 15 ASAP!

650rpm bump, current stock is 6750

1964.5 and 289 refer to the original Mustang. I'm pretty sure it had a 289ci option.

EDIT: re-reading your post; I think you already implied that actually

Original...

My adjustment to bring hood all the way down to grille...

And then blacked out with some better filling wheels...

You have to snicker at the "I'll be keeping my '15-17 crowd" butt hurt is not a good look

The more I look at it in better quality photos, the more it grows on me. In a short time everyone is going to prefer this over the previous.

That is the soft limiter. Fuel cut is at 7k.

I'd gladly upgrade, but I'd lose my ass in the process so I'll be cruising along in my '15 for a while. ;)

Maybe the front end isn't all that we hoped for but I do know I can't see it while I'm driving it.
But oh those rims! :love:
