The fact that your new 500 is housewife blue means that there will be no MY 23.

No ill intent. Just poking fun at the seriousness of this forum sometimes. That was about as a childish a response I could come up with that I thought was funny. I have no clue one way or the other but I’m leaning towards no based on my internet detective work. Which is suspect at best.

It’s confidential and it appears you will be on the outside looking in.

LOL Housewife Blue. I’m just mad I didn’t come up with that one.

I didn't make that up, my wife remembers those days and she said that's what they used to call it back in 67. It was a color that a lot of women chose.

Let's just compromise. Pull off the blower, spin that CPC Predator block North of 8k, and get her down to 3600 lbs.

As fast as the 500 is, there’s just something about a GT3-like “lightweight” DCT car that appeals to me. Do think the R is the best looking Mustang ever so no complaints from me if it used all that bodywork.

Yes, and own a GT3 as well, lol. People are drawn to the R because it is probably the last of its kind. 3 pedals, flat plane crank, ballance, etc. It was and is a beautiful driver's car. The 500, although a bit heavier, has some serious performance. I would run 2:05 to 2:06 at Daytona in the R. The day out in the CFTP, I ran 2:00. This year I will have new tires. I am sure I will run under 2:00. The car is that good.
You can talk about weight and no third pedal, but the performance is undeniable. And Im yet to see a GT3 hang with a 500 on a track like Daytona.

That is totally amazing, hanging with a GT3, is that because Daytona has high speed straights ??

I'm sitting here thinking 'damn that's pretty impressive for a car that's giving up 240hp and doing it normally aspirated with 1.2 liters of displacement less that the 500.'
I've had a 350, 350r and currently awaiting my 500 to be delivered. I'm a Ford man but after spending a fair amount of time in my best friends 991.1 RS.. I'd take one over a 500 no contest. Both impressive cars but I don't get trophies at track days and there's just something about a GT3 that does it for me. Hopefully this 500 does a good job of filling that void.

Price aside, this is a Ford mustang that’s in the same league as a Porsche, that is a feat no matter how you look at it.
