I mean that's the secret of the car , at least IMO ... that 4k - redline power curve ...
Other cars are running out of breath (read everything MSRPed below $50k) by the time voodoo stretches its legs... then its touching supercar like acceleration by the time your'e banging though 3rd/4th/5th...
iT would have been nice to stay on the east coast those 2 times I went (1x for 350 Track attack the 2nd time for ST octane academy) but it was a great chance to see Utah and Salt lake, bonneville, etc...
Because the plan was always to have 2 Speciality mustangs this generation; rather than one speciality car and a 'special edition' appearing every 1-2 yrs in between the GT and the 'Cobra' , Mach 1, Boss 302, etc...
This time around Ford and the rest of the manufacturers placed bets and...

Koeppel Ford in Queens has an R ... they sold me a GT350 back in 2017 for MSRP after all the dealers (including AA and Levittown, Smithtown, Sayville, Fette, all the big volume dealers in the tri state) wanted to not sell their 350s by...
I get the issue sometimes about driving it ... I also have a Fiesta ST for winter months and around town/road trips to keep the mileage down...Its kind of an event to take it out and get the angle of the driveway just right, drive only certain roads (because some have bumps or are not fun to...
lol thats all fun and games until Ford decides to do that and drop the manual transmission - maybe trade for 'more power' and say that the 3160 can no longer handle the torque :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
Actually as a 2017 GT350 owner, I should encourage Ford to do that; after all look at...
fine I picked the wrong flavor of the week flex car ... still going to be way quicker than our gt350s, which I can confidently say are the slowest 500 hp cars on the planet

They discontinued every other sedan/hatchback/car but are keeping a BESPOKE platformed RWD mustang,

They would...
they tried the same game with every recent GM performance car, but they NEVER have the demand nor the marketing to keep it up... I remember the markups on the Z/28 back in 2013 , remember how we all balked at a $60-70+k muscle car back then, then leftovers were sitting past the introduction of...
Eh I think the main difference is that ADMs will most likely subside as 8th gen Corvette manufacturing continues, while ADMs will remain and only slight drop through the rest of the S550 GT500 cycle..
Total game... akin to taking you to the 'other' lot to see a car that they never had; just so they can kill that one Saturday you had lined up to go 'shop.'
Dealer that my family has bought at least 3 fords from in the last 5 yrs did this to us when I was looking for a Shelby ... got...
