2015 Ford Mustang - General Discussion

[Nico_Ble99]

Nothing big, just Ford offering a retro pack for the 2018 Mustang.

EDIT: Now that I think about it, why did Ford facelift the Mustang already? They usually wait a bit longer before doing a facelift. The S550 was only in production for 3 years.

I wonder what stuff the designer of that Mustang generation was on when he was told to design the facelift.

Stripes on the side - not bad
Tribar badge - not bad
Chrome surround on grille - er...nope, do not want

Limited to Mustangs equipped with the turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four EcoBoost engine

At least it'll make it easier to identify slow Mustangs on the highway.

It doesn't surprise me tbh, Ford has done a retro package like this for the previous gen Mustang and kept it exclusive to the base model. Well, the 2005-09 one at least.

Apparently with this "drag race" mode, the refreshed Mustang GT will go 0-60 mph in 4 seconds. I also didn't know that it's now going to have 460 hp.

At least it looks like a 60s Mustang. The new one can't even look better than a 70s or Mustang II. Tje headlights remind me of this:

Needs to be quick, so no one gets ahead to see the front. Just looks bad, man.

$36k for 460 HP and 0-60 in 4 seconds? Nice.

Also that's pretty good HP/$100 ratio.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Motortrend's comparison of the Shelby GT350R and Camaro ZL1. I'm honestly surprised that the Camaro ZL1 was only a bit faster around the track than the GT350R; I thought the gap would be bigger.


Which makes me think of this line:

(Note: I'm just kidding around here.)

I thought the facelift Mustang would grow on me but it hasn't. I'm glad I got a '17, looks much better. Possibly the only thing i'm lusting after is that digital gauge cluster.

This looks far meaner and less derpy...
3/4

That color and wheel combination is stunning.

Yeah, those wheels are mint like 👍

Ford Window Sticker Proves New Mustang Bullitt S550 Is Real

That price though......

 

[mustafur]

That price when converted to Australian Dollars is what we pay for a Normal GT lol.

Oh, well off baby boomers going to go all over that.

The price we pay for the Mustang here is also pretty ridiculous.

Still doesn't stop us from buying them from the truck loads though.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Pretty awesome pricing, and will probably go up in value depending on how many the build in that format.

Really? When 5.0 GT money gets a dowdy 420d?

 

[mustafur]

420d here is another $12,000 AUD for us lol

The price compared to the US price, not 'what you get for your money'.

Okay... I like it.

2018 Mustang RTR

 

[Slash]

Digging the faux gas cap on the bullitt, fits the car much better than a badge.

 

[bremics]

How much does the upgrade cost? Jalopnik estimated $20k so with over 700 bhp shouldnt it be around the price of a Hellcat right? But like a thousand pounds lighter?

It's $21,000 + cost of the initial vehicle. This site says it's valued over $65,000.

Valued at over $65,000, the 2018 Mustang RTR Spec 3 will come with all the bells and whistles from suspension mods, upgraded tires and wheels, bad ass visuals inside and out and a big supercharger under the hood with some 700 horsepower.

So, you're right, just around what a Hellcat starts at.

Never seen the snout and intake at the same end of the supercharger before.

 

[Griffith500]

Never seen the snout and intake at the same end of the supercharger before.

A small internal compression ratio is useful for performance. That means axial in-flow is best to create a sealed volume between the lobes along the length of the charger, and for packaging reasons here it seems the inlet can't really go at the back! That's where the gears must be.

These are no longer simple "blowers"
