Line Lock Standard on ALL 2018 Ford Mustangs (Including EcoBoost)

Truth! I just started smelling refrigerant this morning when I turned the AC on. :headbonk:

It's totaled. Time to part out your car to me.

You may be right... It is a write off for sure.. LOL

The holding out of #'s, makes me really think its could be higher than the easily predictable 455hp.

BUT all things point to 455.

The horsepower gap between F150 & Mustang for same 5.0 is usually 60hp. 2018 F150 = 395hp + 60 hp = 455hp.

Ford doesn't really do horsepower races / one-upping. 2009 Camaro had 413hp (average for 426 & 400hp V8's), Mustang came out with 412hp next year.

Camaro had high hp ZL1 (580hp) & Z28's (505hp), Ford comes out with GT350 with a completely different approach at "only" 526hp.

So nothing tells me Ford is going to try to out do Camaro. And then the easter egg at 4 55, etc. All arrows are pointing to 455hp.


UNLESS its all just been a trick to:
1. Get people get off the fence and buy 2017s, and not wait for the 2018.
2. Let Chevy think its only going to have 455hp and not have much competition performance wise.

Ford needs to come out with the GT500 already to compete against the ZL1.
The GT350 was a good competitor for the Z28.
The GT is a good competitor to the SS.

The new F-150 is 395 and the existing Mustang is 435HP so if you take 435/395 is 1.1 now 1.1 X 435 is 478.5HP..BUT that doesn't account for the fact that 47 / 8.5 = 5.5 and if you double that what do you get? That's right. 11HP. 1964.5 in the gauge cluster comes out to be 1 + 9 + 6 + 4 x 5. Divide that by 11. What do you have now? 8.6363, we'll call that ~9. 11 and 9. 9 and 11.

From this we can scientifically confirm that 9/11 was an inside job.

9/11 is also the due date for my daughter this year, if we go to term... Coincidence...I don't think so.

It should've been standard on the EB from the start, PP models at least....But that's okay because I can do burnouts the old-fashioned way without any assists.

I like that wing though, very mini-350 like. And the digital cluster isn't too shabby either.

I want that wing so bad. Please Anderson composites make this! but make sure it will cover all the factory lip spoiler holes

*Yawn* Useless gimmick. Ford at it again with their nonsense marketing, they pulled this BS back when the S550 first debut, too. We want more info about horse power numbers, and maybe unmask the mystery car you've been showing us staged "spy shots" of for the last 2 years.

 

[mustangenthusiast420]

Ford need to have a ford pinto in the background of every mustang shoot. A running gag, just to troll people.

Holy shit you're a genius!

Totally agree !

Also does'nt "Track Use" automatically Void Warranty ????

If so, the moment you try this, bang goes your warranty, as the ECU will assume you are using this for Track Use ..as it clearly states..."Track Use Only" !!

Sorry double post

Thanks !!! Vastly more logical and cogent reasoning than many on here, especially the 355 speedo club !! (lol!)

Given the complete reworking of the engine, resulting in 12:1 Compression, extra 500 Rpm (7500), DI, a slight increase in capacity (etc), my uninformed and uneducated guess is 475 Hp, (40 Hp increase) with a minimum 470.

Who's waiting for a "Hey Mahk, you look like you need a burnout!" version of that video?
