What is the next "special" trim?

[DrumReaper]

Mustang III Grande (with "Landau" roof treatment - rear half vinyl top)

If it’s CF instead of vinyl I’m in.

Manual Only Car Please.

A DCT would be nice too.

If the hybrid powertrain does come to existence and is considered to be its own "Special Trim", maybe call that trim the Fairlane (or something more luxurious/connected to the history of Ford's cars that can give this particular Mustang a more sleeper vibe than the EcoBoost or GT).

The SP (Silencer Performance), perhaps?

The Prius edition.

The man made his own Mustangs and won Le Mans. He could have stuck whatever moniker he wanted on his car. I happen to think it was a very clever and catchy moniker.

IIRC, the GT350 had an enhanced k-code 289 and was declared to produce ~325hp. The 427ci and 428ci GT500s obviously had more than the exclaimed 375-385hp. Insurance issues played a factor in how much HP manufacturers admitted to.

306hp was the published number, which seems a bit optimistic over the 271 hp of the top regular 289 for what I recall as just an intake and header.

Mustang II? Ha ha. Just kidding. Nothing else left. Hey, a comment. The Boss 302 and 429 referred more or less to displacement (in cu. in.). And GT350 and GT500 to HP, since neither ever was 5.7L or 8.2L respectively. So the GT350 should have been the GT525, and the new GT500 the GT760. That means if Ford is 'lying' with the Shelbys already, why not with the Bosses? They could call a Mustang with the 5.2 the Boss 429, and nobody should flinch.

The shelby's names had nothing to do with anything. Shelby picked the names out of thin air...according to his interviews. If it was hp the 350 would have been 306. The bosses were named for the engine sizes.
