Here it is, but it doesn't show anything that I can tell.

Someone pulled down one of the pics in the Phototream that showed the dyno data output screen. It was taken from about 5ft away at an angle, numbers weren't really readable at first glance, but when I went back to try and look for the picture to analyze it closer, it was gone...

Pretty much the same numbers that you see from a stock Boss 302. What RPM were they at?

Sounds like a heat shield rattling on the exhaust to me. Or it might just be the way the mic picked up the sound. I doubt that's what it will sound like in a properly sorted car.

I can say that I get sick of driving in traffic with a manual... Every car I've owned in the last 20yrs has been a manual. If I get a S550 GT, it will be a manual, but there is something to be said for running around with an automatic.

Even if it's just a we lapped Laguna Seca in X would be nice.

Fully agree if that ends up happening. Their delay in releasing important performance specs has built up some high expectations. If they come out with some kind of minute incremental changes to power and weight, they would have been better off releasing it in December so it wouldn't build up...

AL is not the only way Ford is reducing weight in its fleet. They're also utilizing more high strength steel to reduce the gauge of material used. They're also able to create more complex shapes with it to strengthen things with less material. Back in 2011, Ford released the following...

I was so expecting this to end with, "now she has the car and I pay her mortgage."

No need for a consigned then as well!

I've never disappointed myself by waiting. You've got years and years ahead of you to get cars you really like. Waiting until it makes financial sense just preserves your ability to buy more awesome cars in the future.

Here's my rule of thumb. If you aren't at 50% of the purchase price of the car you bought by 2yrs into ownership, then you're probably buying something that is too expensive for your current situation. Couple examples based on my rule of thumb... So, if you put down $2500, on a $30k car...

This is also where I stand, however, the weight is less of an issue. I am way more price sensitive than anything else. I am looking for a car under ~42k, but I won't buy a Mustang near the top of that range largely because they have a history of depreciating much faster than other cars I'm...

For the most part, I just invest in reasonably high volume ETFs. Best investment thus far was in XLF in 2009 at $7.18, now it's ~$21. Kinda hard to lose being long in US equities over the last 5yrs. My investment strategy is basically to adjust my weightings a in different market sectors and...

To be fair, even Ford said those are estimates. Semantics aside, it's been a good discussion.

It also looks like a there's a decent reduction in the amount of glass used and the front suspension eliminated some cross members.

Some more spy shots from a reader on Carscoops... http://www.carscoops.com/2014/04/reader-spies-new-mustang-prototype.html The V10 speculation by the reader I think is nonsense. 10 vs. 8 could have easily (and much more likely) been some kind of setting or evaluation score. But the comment...

My personal thought is that I tend to think it's more likely that 1lbs is lost than gained because of the CAFE targets that manufacturers need to make in the coming years. So while the S550 gets a little more margin to burn (~1.3%) more fuel than the S197 (due to increased rear track) before...

I don't think there is public info to make a conclusive determination on whether it will weigh more, less, or the same. I've seen reasonable arguments on both sides of this... We'll just have to wait and see.

The OE tire on the first gen Mazdaspeed3 had RE050 tires. I remember one time I got caught out with those on when we got ~3 inches of snow. Lets just say I could let the clutch out lightly and the car would literally not move and the front wheels would just rotate in position at idle on level...
