Thanks for sharing this.
This video potentially confirmed three disappointing things about our RHD version of the Mustang.

1) Notice rev meter that the RHD Mustang redline is 8000RPMs compared to the American 8500RPM

2) Where was Drag Strip mode? I only noticed Race mode from the list of modes the dealer could go through. I have read some Australian car reviews confirming even though we do not get line lock, Ford has confirmed that we will still get Drag Mode.

3) We don't get the heart beating light start button ? Why?
I have read somewhere that the pulsating start button is only noticeable at night. Also the US cars have a 7500 rpm redline and the EU and I guess AU/NZ have the 7000.

The lower rev range on the AUS/NZ cars is due to the increased gravitational forces here in the southern latitudes
Don't sweat the small stuff!

Isn't Australia the biggest export market for Mustang?

If so, then why is it that most other markets get the refresh and Australia waits, being drip fed tiny bits info?

Probably working out how they're going to screw with the active exhaust to meet ADRs
