I don't disagree that an independent rear suspension is the best for all around handling. I also think that it gives the driver some added sense of stability even in day to day driving.
However, there are drawbacks to an independent rear suspension. Notably, because of it's added complexity...
I will answer my own question here since 'traffic' has been a bit light on here.
Yes, if I found the new Mustang that appealing I would forgive Ford for not incorporating design cues from past Mustangs. The caveat being, that it would have to look outstanding and still look like a proper...
Well, we do know that he is going to leave at some time. And, I think everyone can agree that when he does he leaves Ford in much better footing than when he got there.
I would not be surprised if he does stay on for a while longer than what is being reported here.
And, I would not be...
The comparisons of the M3 to the Mustang have happened over the years on many occasions.
My first recollection of a comparison was around 2001 or '02 when they compared the Cobra model to that years M3. I believe it was C&D (but with a caveat that it may have been in MT, I am old fart with...
Yeah, but the side scoop was functional on the Shelby models if I am not mistaken. So, there is some historical precedence.
Why no love for Shelby making it happen here, Thed?
No, not as the GT model. The GT model is historically offered in V8 form and always should be, in my opinion.
Now, would I consider buying a V6 EB model over a 5.0 GT, if both were offered? That, I don't have an answer for. It would depend on circumstances (cost of purchase, insurance and...
Ok, we have a thread or two with wish lists for the next generation Mustang.
This thread is for answering the question(s) about if the next Mustang were to be equipped with something you maybe wouldn't be so excited about.
There are some obvious components, options or traits from current...
I am still a proponent of the SVO Mustang.
It is not the icon it should be, in Mustang lore.
Make it a stripped out (read extreme lightweight) V6 TT, or a maxed out screaming 4 cyl. turbo model and you have real potential for pissing off all the Asian car fans that thought only their makes...
I am really liking the last maroon 'photo' and the drawing of the blue 'Stang posted from "unstablecombustion.com" site.
As much as I like the EVOS concept and hope that it 'inpsires' the design of the '15 model; I do hope they "Americanize" the design ala the two I chose.
Well, thanks for the back up Rev.
I was going over some of the ideas I've seen floating around for an EcoBoost Mustang for next gen. The idea of a 4 cyl. turbo AND a twin turbo V6 came up.
I titled this thread improperly to state that and then spent the text I typed focusing on an SVO 4...
There have been a number of insights on the next gen Mustang (hence this site).
I am hoping for some weight savings and IRS (and would not be opposed to an LRA option for the dragsters).
There has been talk about a 4 cylinder model, too.
Having been a very big fan of the mid-80's SVO...
Well someone put it there then!
Not as adept at maneuvering around and posting yet, but I will get there Thed.
Take it easy on an old man, for crying out loud!
Greetings to Thed and all who have posted here.
Since I am getting used to the format, I will refer all my personal info to the thread I posted myself.
I do look forward to being on here.
It does appear that there are a lot of familiar 'faces' and a few new ones to boot.
This should be a...
Hello, to all who have come to give witness to and praise the Mustang.
I am a member of MT forums (since '07) and an active member at CarFanaticsForum almost since inception.
First of all, thanks for the invite Thed, I hope to make this another site of importance to visit and participate...
