At the Charlotte 50th anniversary event, Pericak said the 2015 GT would run quicker lap times than a Boss. As numerous pubs demonstrated when running the ZL1 against the GT500, there's a lot more to fast lap times than power and weight. The GT500 had 80+ hp advantage over the ZL1 and still...

Keep some things in mind about the new car. Every new vehicle has new, more stringent crash safety requirements to meet like the roof crush, small offset rigid barrier, side pole impact, etc. Meeting those standards plus adding more airbags will inevitably add weight. The IRS will inevitably...

When has anyone from Ford ever said on the record that it would weigh less?

While Mustangs are known for drag racing, the reality is that the vast majority will never get anywhere near a strip during their lifetime. For most Mustang owners, the benefits of IRS in terms of ride quality and being able to keep the tires planted while accelerating out of a turn or hitting a...

The hood is aluminum (and has been since 2005) so it doesn't rust. At worst if the paint chips, you'll get some surface oxidation but it will never corrode all the way through

Consider that the Mustang engineering team has opted for 19-inch wheels for the performance packs. The 20s are there for appearance purposes but for the maximum performance version of Mustang, the lighter, stiffer 19s are the top choice because unsprung mass is the enemy of both handling and...

Actually, the ACC on North American Fords including the Mustang automatically deactivates at 12 mph. It's not intended for use in urban driving.

The 12-speaker system does have a sub-woofer but it's been repackaged so it takes up far less space in the trunk. The convertible video they put a while back had it and it still fit two big golf bags in there http://www.youtube.com/embed/BY_HIcadEcI

Actually, #1 is allocated to the gentleman whose signature is on the serial # plate

The convertible is not technically a Limited Edition and is not one of the 1,964. It's a separate one-off numbered 1 of 1.

The enhanced security package includes • Electronic Locking Center Console • Active Anti-Theft System • Wheel Locking Kit 50 Years Appearance Package • 50 Years Grille with Bright Surround • 19” X 8.5” Premium Painted Aluminum Wheels • 255/40R19 A/S Tires • Unique Rear Gas Cap Badge...

The LE equipment section starts with "ALL GT PREMIUM 401A EQUIPMENT PLUS:"

The Limited Edition is a GT fastback with the performance pack. The only options not available on the LE are the Recaros (because of the special heated/cooled black/cashmere 10-way power seats). Everything else is standard including the nav, the premium audio system, etc

The Guard car is a Euro-spec machine, all of which will get the round badge. The main tip-off to the Euro cars is the larger mirrors

That's actually what I meant to say, re-reading it now I realize it didn't come out that way without repeating that the LE has the PP.

Only the GT PP gets staggered 9.0/9.5 inch wheels. The 50 LE wheels are the same size. The Ecoboost PP gets 19x9.0 inch wheels front and rear

The advantage of rain sensing wipers is that they automatically adjust speed based on rain intensity. If you've driven in rain where it quickly changes from a downpour to a sprinkle and back again, having the wipers automatically slow so they aren't rubbing on dry glass, is a real convenience.

Yes, ACC works with a manual and the radar sensor can provide collision warnings even when the cruise control is off.
