there is a mustang mods facebook page ??
Yeah it’s “S550 GT Australia MODS PAGE”.

Fair warning, it was created by a handful of us who are mates, and we do not hold back. Its is an “anything goes” page

Reckon they might be 17s, tail lights and exhausts look like it? Good to see - if the article is correct - that we're getting MagneRide. Cost of the LCD display will be interesting.

Anyone got indicative pricing on the car yet and what options are available?

other car offer digital display around 3k
and adaptive dampers are around 5k ?

$70k drive away ?

I read the article as 'option abroad' meaning US, as in it's an option for the US specs. Would be great to see if it's an option available here.

ford au probably do what they are doing now.. u get a one price with option of manual or auto. but all the options ticked.. i dont see anyone buying an 18 who will not pick the magna ride or digital display.

It all depends, it's a game of pricing isn't it. I'm not sure exactly what $ the digital cluster and magneride suspension adds in the US, but I do know it's a few g's extra.

Ford AU probably don't want to stack on all the extra's if they're going with the single option again, as it will bump up the RRP, and part of the appeal and the success in sales of these cars have been their relatively low sticker prices.

My guess is we get digital dash, and no magneride. Personally I balk at the idea of a digital dash - mechanical or bust.

They're talking about loaded GTs being $50 K in the US (on You.Tube so gotta be true) - reckon that translates to $ 75 k Oz drive away

ford au will try to keep the price similar to current mustang, if not a little higher, so expect around 65k-70k we won't get the magneride option, but digital dash is pretty much a given, they want the product to look a premuim, but things that people can't see on the lot won't matter too much to the bean counters.

Agree, if one or the other digi will win. Most punters won't know what MR is so low risk in not bringing it, and better for keeping MSRP down.

I just wonder though whether Ford Australia will use the opportunity for a price increase? Current model way out sold their expectations, and when you consider there's no local V8 available, they could sell at a premium. When you consider that the Camaro's that GM are bringing here and converting with be pushing $90K I suggest there's a good chance that the 2018 will be closer to the $70K mark.

Time will tell
