Nice!
I hope Ford is thinking like this guy and not like whoever came up with that 'Inspire' stuff.

Very interesting video.

He talked alot about Ford using racing to promote the Mustang, mentioning turning it into a profit center like Porsche with their 911 Cup cars.

It was timely because I just saw this article in Winding Road.:

Seems like Ford is already doing what the commentator is suggesting, but maybe with this new car they can really push this forward, since they'll have a more race worthy vehicle with the IRS and front suspension improvements.

Really liked this video. Thanks for posting.

Great video with great questions proposed. I like the sound of the direction this commentator envisions and hope Ford is thinking along those lines too. It sounds like we have a lot to look forward to.

He mentioned getting away from the Retro/Musclecar label and I agree. He doesn't like the "Aston" front end nor the Retro Mustang rear. The front doesn't look Aston at all...

Ford and Ford Racing need to take the USCC, SCCA and NASA head on. I would say use the Mach 1 nameplate to replace the Cobra Jet program.

Great video. He gets to the heart of the Mustang balancing act with this car and I imagine these are exactly the questions that Ford struggled and maybe still struggles with.

Is this a lifestyle car or a performance car?
