If that's right you'll be shifting from 2nd to 3rd at about 50mph, if peak power is about 5600rpm. 0-60mph times are actually 0-62mph here in the UK at least, because 62mph = 100kph, as used by our friends in Europe. So in other words, it'll definitely need 3rd gear.

My previous car was an S2000. It was a very good car, but I'm after something a little more laid back.

That sounds like open throttle bodies or a Honda vtec through a less restrictive intake. My S2000 sounded quite similar. It's a good sound, quite metallic, but we're back at sounding like a Honda again. Although S2000 is better than a '94 Civic 1.6.

Yeah, but without the STI's massive turbo laaaaaggg. Hopefully the mustang will have the same turbo, and they only limit it's performance via engine mapping. Years ago in the UK (and maybe Europe) Ford did a Sierra RS Cosworth that later in it's life (1990) had an AWD system. It's a modern...

AWD in the RS at last. That's thrown another spanner in the works for me. So hard to choose.

I actually really like the tail lights on that race red one above. With the black wheels too it looks good.

My god I hope we get simpler choices in the UK. I know the US is often renowned for choice, which is good, but it really needs clarifying in regards to what you get. To not have soft touch on upper door panels in a car like this in 2014 is stupid. Even my Fiesta does.

Fiesta ST runs 21psi stock, and there's obviously scope for tuning on that, so well have to see. Anyone know if the Mustang runs an overboost feature like the Focus and Fiesta?

I've heard £30k and £35k being said for the ecoboost and V8 respectively. I have a Fiesta ST right now. They retail about £18k in the UK and $22k in the US. The V8 with PP in the US is $38k, so by those maths we should pay £31k for the V8. I think that would make the ecoboost too cheap...

We quite like black wheels in the UK and maybe Europe, so I wouldn't worry about that. We're used to bigger mirrors to the point that I at least don't notice. And obviously most will be coupes and not white. The only slight concern us tail light colour and price.

So basically Ford think us Europeans like a rock-hard ride. Great. Could be worse but it's all price dependant.

In the UK I think we get the PP as standard, so it may be to do with that.

Yeah those. I dislike them far more than the 'dumbo' mirrors. It's what we're used to I guess.

Those orange reflectors low down on the bumpers... I thought that was a US thing.

Ford UK will fob us off and rename Guard. I don't know why Ford haven't brought the car sooner. I also don't know if they realise what a hit it'll be. It's an icon to us that we've never had. In a way a bit like when the Fiat 500 appeared a few years ago. Of the reintroduction of the Mini in...

Stop/start systems always turn the engine back on. When you dip the clutch to put it into first on a manual. Not sure about an auto.

I'd think with a free flowing intake, exhaust, intercooler and remap you should be looking at the best part of 400bhp. At least 370bhp anyway. A remap should see 350bhp.

The M4 probably will sell more, but that's a 2 door coupe.

I have a Fiesta ST. Good little car. Will have had it 2 years by the time the Mustangs arrive over here in the UK. I'm 6'2" and fit in the Fiesta fine, although I wouldn't want to be any taller and would also appreciate more space. Power from the Fiesta with a tune is good, including torque.

Late 2015? Damnit Ford. There's too many nice cars around, and that's a bit of a wait.
