I think it's FANTASTIC. I look very forward to being able to look at and drive one, especially the EcoBoost. If I was looking for a new car around/under 30k that wasn't a twin, this would be top of the list for sure.

I was just talking about this with a buddy at work today. Looks like Ford is going to attack the overseas market with this one.

I'm still baffled you can buy a GT off the lot with over 420 hp..... Absolutely nuts. Finally independent rear suspension, shedding more weight off the car. This is turning more into a track car learning from the Boss 302 than a straight line car, but now you can customize it to do either really well. If I had the money, this would be my weekend warrior.

Trade your BR-Z/FR-S in, and you have the money for your warrior

Lol, I'm too invested into it already. Besides, one of the reasons I got rid of my '02 SS is the gas mileage as a daily driver! Giving me 450 hp in a GT is NOT going to get me that for sure.

No, I don't want the Ecoboost either, lol. If I'm buying a Mustang, all 8 cylinders must be present!

Test drove an Roush Stage 3 when shopping for my FR-S.

Definitely a hell of of a stop-light racer, just not my taste. Car had 40K miles and the dealer was asking 36Gs.

It's far too early to call it a failure.

I think it's best we all hold out until more details are released.

They wanted to make it look nicer? So they gave it a Charger front end, a Camaro body line, and an Accord Coupe ass? I didn't watch the whole video to hear if they talk about performance and the interior looks nice but the exterior is disgusting.
