2018 bit starts about 4:30, ends about 6:45. Not much new info but does have an idle/small rev clip

Love the new 19" aluminum wheels for the PP. I like that we have another choice rather than the black ones. Oh oh and the sound of the quad exhaust !! wow !!

I just find it hard to believe they would bring a new engine(besides crank) and only add 20hp? Would be hardly worth it for them imo.

It's still a Coyote, not like they needed a new assembly plant for it.

It would hardly be worth it for US, but worth it for them so they can bump it up each year until the new model, and sell more Ford after market parts. Sucks, I know. :doh:

FYI, 2017 provides both black and polished alum on the GT PP package. But I love the sound of the quad exhaust too.

I'm pretty sure [MENTION=7618]JoeySD[/MENTION] is talking about the new polished forged GTPP wheels

yes they are great looking. it sounded like he thought there was only one option on the '17's but two on the 18's. Yes, I really do like a lot of the stuff on the 2018, a shame they won't release all the info.

I'm hoping that they are more aggressive with the tune since the Stang is so much lighter and does not need or will carry/pull a load.
Cylinder temps should be much lower to allow this.
Praying for 460hp and 430tq!

LOL good one!

Yeah that was pretty cringey. Whatever he has to do to feel better about it I guess.

 

[MrWolf]

Wow!

The amount of new information coming in is deafening!

Come on Ford!!!

Agreed, I am a bit surprised that not much has come out yet as far as power figures

Hopefully it's because they want to get rid of old inventory.
If the numbers are big, no one will want old slow mustangs!;) (sarcasm font) (maybe;)

I know this falls on deaf ears, but Ford has little incentive to release more info early. Sure, its a hassle to the guys that are waiting to order a car, but frankly, in the grand scheme of things the actual HP number will have little influence on purchasing decisions collectively.

OTOH, Ford figures they have until near JOB1 to finalize and fine tune all of the relevant calibrations. So yeah, they might 99.9% there now, but if you understand how these people in this process work, you'd realize that they want to use up all of the time allotted. Not to mention that the longer they wait to tip their hand to GM the better they'll feel about it. The same thing happened for 2015 MY, people forget.

Production starts in October. Cars won't be at dealers until close to Thanksgiving. Don't expect Ford to make any official announcements until probably early fall. They might even wait until LA at that point.

For what it's worth, the new 5.0 in the 2018 F-150's will make 395hp, 10 more than previous.

Oh boy....a shit storm of posts will surely follow!

As it was already mentioned a few pages back, I'm surprised storm has yet to start.

I guess it's possibly because their are quite a few differences between the F150 and mustang coyote and it's best to wait and see.... and wait.... and wait.... and wait...
