The engine photo they have shows a black coolant reservoir rather than the pink jellyfish.

Didn't the 1LE beat the 2013/14 track pack? So wouldnt it still beat the 15PP. Atleast in MT's standpoint?
I always thought that the 2016 Camaro would come out and outperform the 2015 and newer Mustang, but I never expected the 2015 Mustang not to outperform the 1LE.

Beat how? 0-60?1/4 mile? We won't know on the road-course until they release that.

It looks kinda Gun Metalish. Definitely better than Jelly Fish

Yea. I was 90% sure it was going to outperform the 1LE. It just doesn't make any sense why Ford would not build something that would out do the current Chevy.

Maybe a refresh will introduce aluminum alloy body / frame etc to get the weight and handling where it needs to be.

Holy crap if you guys can't tell that's still the same clear coolant tank we've seen.....

There is black all around that engine bay, and the reservoir looks nothing like it...

So slower, more quiet and the Front Suspension doesnt match the Rear! Anybody out there selling a Boss 302? LOL

Who else thinks that:

1) At the high end of the price scale, it gets close enough to the Charger or Challenger Hellcat that it seems many people would instead buy those cars. The GT350 may change that, especially since a convertible Challenger is not available.

2) For the mainstream market, the four cylinder Mustang will have less weight on the front, so probably will out-handle the V8 version. The car magazines are missing something important if they do not test the four cylinder version as soon as is possible.

3) The V6 will probably be the mainstay of the rental Mustang fleet.

But that is a lie^. You did expect it, and have been calling for it in nearly every post you have made over the last month.

But then again, how is the 1LE important again.. ?

It is .1 sec slower on quarter mile - techincally slower, yes. But I'll take the six-piston Brembo front brakes and stop a yard shorter. I don't understand your comment about the suspension.

Motor Trend's Ecoboost review wasn't very complimentary of the Ecoboost's handling.

The GT with PP is faster in the figure 8 vs. the Eco with PP.
