2015 Ford Mustang - General Discussion

[Slash]

Judging by the VIN decoder it'll probs replace the GT350.

I wouldn't count on that entirely yet.

I am willing to be itll be just an upscale GT.

 

[Tornado]

So remember all of that hand wringing about the Mach 1 going electric?

Yeah, all for naught.

Considering Ford acquiesced by cynically slapping the Mustang name itself on a crossover instead, I'm not sure "all for naught" is the best way to sum it up so much as "won the battle but lost the war."

This... It's not replacing the GT350 at all. Just another trim package to compete with the seemingly endless that SRT offers.

Better have a shaker hood scoop and blinding blue paint. (/Former Mach 1 Owner)

Late post, but a teaser for the Mach-1.

That looks rather nice actually, I like the stripes. It reminds me of the Boss 302 a bit.

Here's, Ford's video on it.


I quite like the look of the Mach 1 over the GT, that front bumper suits the bodylines better than the GT's.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Without the shaker scoop, I prefer the Bullitt. Also, what's up with the conspicuous not-fog lights?

 

[Sage Ages]

Too much retro-wank.

Not enough actually, it's missing the shaker hood.

 

[05XR8]

Are those wheels the same on the BMW Clubsport(?)?

 

[GranTurNismo]

The GT350/GT350R is officially dead, with no replacement in sight.

Sad as it was the most interesting Mustang in years. They should have given it the GT500 DCT as a final-year option - makes sense with the revvy nature of the engine.

I want ford to pull a GM and make a Mustang (maybe not the Mustang) with an MR configuration - a hybrid 4 cylinder would be great! But make it small and light like the original concept.

Of course it won't happen, but it would be awesome if it did!

Mustangs are crowd seeking missiles now. Can you imagine how bad it would be with an MR Mustang that's, arguable, more difficult to control for the average driver? There wouldn't be a car show in America that would be safe from that.

[Tornado]

Yeah, I want a Fiero!

 

[CodeRedR51]

It needs an inline-6.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Ah, they didn't even get the chance to fix the engine reliability issues.

Hence the inline-6 I posted above. Oil filter rattled loose on track, stock engine went up in flames. Replaced with a Ford Barra 4.0L I-6.

 

[Frank McGank]

Why in the world would they butcher a GT350 for that? They could’ve started with an EgoBoost 2L Mustang, and used all the leftover cash to build a track-ready suspension for it and then some.

I kind of like that V8 engine minus that whole issue.

Adam LZ is tasteless, that's why.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'll disagree on this one. Had a chance to do something unique and went for it. Tasteless would have been a 2JZ swap.

It was already totalled/blown engine IIRC.

True, true. At least it was a Ford engine. I gotta admit it's a cool swap, I just personally don't like Adam LZ lol.

Well there are certainly worse YouTubers.
