2017 Mustang Wish List

[K-Roll302]

What I'd like/wish to see, but 2017-18MYs instead of just 2017MY:

1. Weight Loss: Somewhere between 100-300lbs across all models(not sure about the GT350/500/ect. though).

2. Motors: Just put that damn 2.7L Ecoboost V6 in the car already! Slot it in as a middle engine with 350-375hp to make a complete and proper 4-6-8 engine lineup like the Camaro. Of course, enthusiast will argue that the 2.3 can easily match the power of the 2.7 or even the 5.0 with bolt ons and tunes. Again, that can only be done with aftermarket upgrades; something I don't think Ford really cares about, not including their own performance tunes and parts which come after the sale of a car. Also because I'd rather have 6 cylinders or more than just 4, seeing as I've had 4 cylinder cars only and would prefer something different.

3. Transmission: I didn't notice any issues with the MT-82 when I drove an EB, but if it's really as bad as I read, can we get a new manual trans, or a properly updated and stronger one in general? I also dream of a DCT Mustang, but I don't think that'll ever happen. Next best thing would be a Mustang with the awesome 8-speed ZF automatic!

4. More exterior and interior appearance options

I would add a dual mode exhaust option for the GT to your wishlist.

I could only hope they would implement some of this into 2017, but more than likely they'll wait for a bigger reveal in 2018.

Damn it i knew i forgot something. :cheers:

Sucks about all of the comments for the 18MY i was hoping to get a new ride here pretty soon my 11MY GT is getting pretty long in the tooth.

 

[K-Roll302]

Bring the AUX input back.

It doesn't have one?? I assumed all new cars had one. I guess bluetooth has made them obsolete.

 

[LETHAL]

Voodoo for the V-8 option.
Weight reduction

 

[Jeepwx03]

HUD

LED front turn signals

10 speed auto trans

More HP/TQ

Auto high beams

Lane keeping w/ front camera

Front parking sensors

What I would like:

• 5.2L Cross Plane crank w/Direct Injection + Port Fuel Injection
• 460hp
• 450lb-ft of torque
• 10-speed automatic
• Revised PP w/ or w/o MagneRide
• PP for the automatic
• GT350 lower rear valence w/quad exhaust
• 200lb weight reduction

What we will likely see:

• 5.0L w/DI+PFI
• 450hp
• 420lb-ft of torque
• 10-speed auto
• Revised PP available with automatic(no Magneride)

We likely won't see a weight reduction until the 2020 redesign and any reduction in weight will come entirely from using aluminum panels. It won't be all aluminum but I expect the fenders and maybe the doors to go aluminum as the hood is already made of this alloy. Expect about a 200lb. weight savings.

I also think they will introduce the 3.5L and 2.7L Ecoboost and leave the 5L as it is for the foreseeable future. I personally think Ford should ditch the 5.0 and go for a 4.0L TT V8 similar to Mercedes and Audi. Not only do you get vastly more torque and noticeably better fuel economy in the City, power doesn't taper off that much at the top end compared to the N/A 5.0.

I don't think much will change for 17..sorry guys but power bump after only 2 yrs just doesn't seem practical way Ford will do things. I would say it would be more towards 18 and even 19. Ford still have the awd monster RS round the corner. 17 mustang will be the usual new color option and small stuff here and there.

Maybe DI engine does make sense tho when Ford decide to upgrade and magne ride option for regular GT.

Blimey, have you been looking into my dreams? That's pretty much exactly what I'd like to see :cheers:

I really want the Coyote (whether that be a breathed on 5.0 or a CPC 5.2 with some Voodoo tricks) to live on for the remainder of the S550s life. Then, when the 7th Gen Mustang hits (2020MY??) I'd like Ford to introduce a smaller twin turbo'd V8. 4 litres seems to be the current favoured size for the Germans, but a 4.7 (can you say 289??) would be wonderful.

However, for the '18MY, either of the below would do nicely

What I would like:

• 5.2L Cross Plane crank w/Direct Injection + Port Fuel Injection
• 460hp
• 450lb-ft of torque
• 10-speed automatic
• Revised PP w/ or w/o MagneRide
• PP for the automatic
• GT350 lower rear valence w/quad exhaust
• 200lb weight reduction

• 5.0L w/DI+PFI
• 450hp
• 420lb-ft of torque

This plus a new stronger manual transmission to replace the MT-82.

 

[TheDivaDanielle]

can it have everything the Camaro does, but in the Mustang body?

A new Pushrod V8 too? Hmmm....That would actually be quite a twist.

I liked my Coyote in my '13. I personally liked the LS2 in my old GTO more for the power output, massive torque, and still carried a 7k redline (cammed)

i'm fine with the Coyote, to be honest. I'll be honest though, as much as I'd hate to go and buy a Chevrolet, I might be in the new Camaro instead of a Mustang.

I'm not a brand/model loyalist. I buy whichever is the best car performance and appearance wise.

I think if anything I avoid Chevrolet, because my father force-fed me Chevrolet this, Chevrolet that as a kid. My parents have been married for over fourty years now, and only two cars WEREN'T Chevrolets. a Cutlass Calais (no Chevy variant) and a Pontiac Vibe (no Chevy variant)
