I'm not focused as much on the HP as I am the motor itself. I mean I don't expect the S650 Mustang GT to be coming out with 650HP like the Ford GT (unless that's where the 650 comes from in S650?!?) It just seems like this hypothetical 4.0L V8TT is a tier above the 3.5L V6TT. Those examples you...
There's no way that recessed rectangular area is the final license place mount/cubby hole. Looks like they designed a bumper and at the last minute forgot a license plate needs to be attached so they made an indentation to fit it. Ford puts more thought into their designs than that, I hope.
I'm just trying to get my mind around a Mustang GT getting potentially a better motor than a Ford GT. Granted the V6 in the Ford GT will be much more high strung, where as the V8 could be a much tamer tune for reliability.
How long of a production run will the Ford GT get? Will it's production...
If this is true sign me up now. Ever since I test drove a C63 S I said to myself, "God I wish this motor was in my GT." A 4.0L V8TT with 503 hp @6200 rpm, 516 lb-ft from 1750 to 4500 rpm. The exhaust even sounds amazing. Fingers crossed.

The visibility complaints with the current hood really have me scratching my head. At the windshield the peak of the points are maybe 1.25" over the standard hood line and the center of the "cowl" is maybe .75" over that same hood line. That might sound like a lot, but where the horizon meets...
Sorry for your loss and sorrier to hear you're going back to a WRX.
As a long time DSM'er myself I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about going back during the first rainy season here in FL. There was definitely a learning period coming from an AWD pocket rocket (that required ice to lose...
Seeing some ex-Mustang owners on the Challenger forum isn't indicative of anything. If anything that is an obvious outcome when you consider the Challenger was on hiatus for the better part of 3 decades and the sheer number of possible "ex-Mustang" owners (50 years worth) versus "ex-Challenger"...
Honestly, I couldn't disagree more. I think the front fascia on the GT350 is ugly in comparison to the GT's. I like the GT350's hood vent, but not as much as I like the GT's hood bulge. The image in your avatar is actually pretty close to perfect from the windshield forward, IMO.
GT front...
I'm not sure I want to like the 2018 or not. Part of me wants to hate the refresh so that I'm "forced" to buy my 15GT out after the lease and save a bit on monthly payments. The other part of me wants the refresh to be a Camaro killer that I can order in half a year. The internal struggle is...
Exactly my thoughts. The bulge from the inside looking down the hood was something that most people complimented the first time I took them for a ride. The complaint about not being able to see those stupid turn signal indicators is almost as ridiculous as putting them on their in the first...
Two weeks ago there were several Chevy dealerships with over $10k discounts on 2SS's. There was a black on black loaded 2SS for 34k. If I was closer to the end of my lease it would've been hard for me to turn that down. If the 2018 GT refresh is just cosmetic/tech stuff I may be looking hard at...
You act like the game is over and Chevy is going home. That's lazy thinking. It's not completely out of the question that Chevy tweaks the Camaro styling, lowers the price, and leap frogs this proposed stagnant Mustang refresh in a year or two. Then what does Ford do? They scramble to try to...
Why should Ford be concerned with how much you paid for X amount of performance last year? That was the going rate then, this is the going rate now. It's an early adopter premium. Two years ago you couldn't get a 4K tv for under $4000 now they're everywhere for around a grand. That's how new...
