I could have paid 4% under invoice...but the dealership that had the deal was 1100 miles away. Decided to get one that was 50 miles away, but paid 1500 over MSRP. That was after we "agreed" to split it with the dealer; they wanted 3k over.

How?

Exactly. That made no sense at all. The Mach-E isn't stealing V8 real Mustang sales, nor bolstering them, really. I am not against the existence of the Mach-E. Just against calling it "Mustang."

ive only seen one mach e in the wild, despite the dealer back when I was going a lot, selling every single one before they arrived.

Agree on the name. To me, any EV should be called something related to electricity, like watts or amperage, or ohms.

what would happen if someone seriously got in office and said lets abolish all EPA, (not trying to be political) but could the next president even have the power to?

yes. it is an executive agency and Prez == CEO. Congress will have a hissy fit, but just because they allocate funds doesn't mean the Executive branch must spend it. The Prez can fire every last person and lock the doors.

They have been around, you just don't really notice them. The only way I catch one is seeing the logo. Otherwise, it looks like a whatever.

Like I said in the previous thread that came up about this 10hp reduction - no one would even notice a loss of 10hp at all... You couid easily gain back 10hp by getting a better air filter media, and upgrading the exhaust...

Every Auto Manufacturer raises prices on their entire product line every-single-year... it's nothing new.

I‘d notice because I’d know it was there. Or actually, wasn’t there. Just because you can’t feel it doesn’t mean it isn’t real!

And of course if you did all that stuff to a pre-22 you’d still be 10 HP up.

My hat is off to all you guys who are able to control your minds better than me. It’d be all I’d think about.

The point I was making is it's a double whammy negative hit now.....

Been driving my 22 for 3 weeks now. Already put 1k miles on to get through the break in period. Honestly, I was concerned about the 10hp when I ordered but now every time I start it I sit with a grin on my face. Plus I’m more concerned about this mt82 than the 10 hp

honestly.. if you are driving enough to realize theres 10 hp more or less, you are breaking the law. Lol. the torque comes before the hp.

The EPA requires auto manufacturer’s fleets to average 40mpg by 2026. So, the addition of electric vehicles such as the Mach-E allows Ford to keep the V8 for the Mustang as the EV’s help bring that average mpg up. I believe that is what @joe603 was referring to.

I just picked up a ‘21 about a month ago (wanted velocity blue) however wouldn’t have hesitated getting a ‘22 if it was available in that color. I guarantee if Ford never published the 10 hp power decrease no one would’ve ever realized.

Skip the bagel for breakfast and the weight savings will more than make up for the 10 HP.
