Ehh...not that happy with it. Lower fascia looks odd. Hood is all over the place, but the interior is pretty nice looking.
Pricing for GT Premium will be 50 bucks cheaper then the 1SS model.

[Tsar]

Still comes with a 5 spd? no thanks...

I like the seats, but exterior looks too much like the current car. do not like.

[sweetbmxrider]

its not doing it for me....

[Tru2Chevy]

2015 Mustang = Mustang II remake....can't wait for that one. :lol:

[mc73nova]

I would have to agree.

[HiddenSnake]

SEXY!! SEXY!!! Wonder what the Cobra will look like?

[NJSPEEDER]

Imagine a cobra badge in the grill, a spoiler on the back, and a massive mark up that the market won't support.

Can't say I care for it. I don't like the current cars looks too much and this doesn't look much different.

They are supposed to step the performance up a lot in response to the pending Camaro release. We will see if they follow through on that.

:shrug: I still think it looks pretty nice

[ins0mnia24]

Looks like the same retro crap they have already put out..

[Savage_Messiah]

... I thought they were updating the look... what'd they change? :lol:

[SupermanX24]

I don't think it looks too bad.

[Knipps]

... I thought they were updating the look... what'd they change? :lol:

QFT. looks more "round" but that's about it

[Savage_Messiah]

Someone on another board pointed this out... Ford should give GM credit for using Camaro headlights...

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

Yea looks similar to the recent car...wonder what it will put out..think the 09's are up to 315 now

[Savage_Messiah]

The 2010 Mustang 4.6-liter V-8 benefits from innovations from the popular Bullitt model. Power has increased to 315 horsepower.


Pathetic... LS1 came out 11 years ago...

[Frosty]

Whoah 315hp, slow down killer :lol:

I drove my mom's '06 and I HATED it, I couldn't get comfortable, I don't know how anyone can drive those things.

[MonmouthCtyAntz]

I thought the 09's got a bump from the 08's from 300-315...If thats true that really lame unless its highly underated.

[LS1Hawk]

Way too much plastic on the front of the car...especially around the grill. Looks very cheap...no wonder it's affordable.

[NastyEllEssWon]

it looks just like the camaro and will probably be available beforehand. the new camaro is a joke that gm blew its wad on show queening around for hte last 5 years. good job gm. letting ford steal your thunder yet again. i guess thats why the mustang outselling the camaro has become the norm.

[V]

highlights.. sequential LED taillights, no more gas cap, if you crash, it automatically turns on the hazards and sounds the horn, and 315 hp in the v8, 210 in the v6...



hehe

[qwikz28]

still solid rear axle? no good. they got heat in 2005 for doing that and you think they would learn their lesson by now. and while their at it, its time to change the whole lineup of drivetrain options. not a good call on ford's part

Ehh...Mustang was moved up 6 months to be in time with the Camaro. Both will be available for first quarter 09.
And Camaro around for 5 years?
Jan 2006:Concept
July 2006: Approval for production
Jan 2007: Convertable Concept
Mid 2008: Public showing of production car
Late 2008: Producton Starts
March 2009: In dealer show rooms.
My math, from concept to production is 3.5 years. From green light to production, 3 years. From concept to showroom, 4 years

None of that is 5. I understand that you dont like the 5th gen, but dont think that your hatred for the car will cover up your horrible math skills.

As for stealing thunder, Ford is the one that rushed the MCE Mustang so that its thunder would not be stolen.
And by the way, October 13th to the 31st, 7k Camaros sold. Wana find me the sales numbers of the Mustang?

Eh, the enthusiasts wanted the SLA, and when I say enthsuisasts I mean Mustang owners who have had no problem driving a 25 year old chassis in 2004. Mustang wont see an IRS set up till they merge it with the future Falcon chassis from Oz. Thats 3-4 years down the road, if we get there.

As for this Mustang, its all new sheetmetal and interior, but chassis and powertrain changes little.
Talks of the big ol 5.0 badge making 400hp is in full swing yet again, and we will have to wait till then.

[BonzoHansen]

2015 Mustang = Mustang II remake....can't wait for that one. :lol:
I’d rather get a II…it’s a lot lighter…imagine that with an LS/T56 setup. Deadly. Hhmmmmmmmm…..

SEXY!! SEXY!!! Wonder what the Cobra will look like?
Who let this guy in? :lol:

They are supposed to step the performance up a lot in response to the pending Camaro release. We will see if they follow through on that.
They don’t have to if GM tanks and the Camaro never comes…..(oooh that has to hurt Al’s soul)

[BigAls87Z28]

Worse case, Ill drive to Oshawa and make on myself.

[V]

Worse case, Ill drive to Oshawa and make on myself.

we'll make 2, ill pull security while u're inside building

[BigAls87Z28]

Deal. Make sure we stop over at Wixom before we head to Oshawa...gotta pick up a few LS7's and LS9's.

[Knipps]

I know a guy working there.. & trust me I've asked him to grab pics for me but he says it'd put his job in jeopardy :rollseye:

[BigAls87Z28]

Im not asking for pics. Hell, Ive sat in the damn thing.
Im just gunna make myself one

[BonzoHansen]

I'll drive - we'll take my truck so i can bring home spare parts....

[Savage_Messiah]

I'm in too. We're gonna ned more then ls9's...

[procamaroz28]

wow i like it but wont buy it cause
ALL MODERN V8 SPORT CARS SHOULD HAVE A 6 SPEED!!!!!! seriously when are they gonna do away with that crude 5 speed??

[Knipps]

The car has no definition to it, no curves. It's blah. Don't mind the tail lights though, and I might be alone on that :lol:

[sweetbmxrider]

make me a camaro al! i'll hand you wrenches and scratch my head when the **** gets deep. arent' sequential taillights illegal? they are a fail for NJ inspection of coarse :lol:

They are legal if they are factory equipment.

[jin1481]

i think its funny all the buzz and sneak peeks about the new mustang, i have a car and driver from june 2008 with the same car on the cover

That's just a rendering with some speculation about a 400hp monster motor....I read the same stuff.

[Savage_Messiah]

I think I'm gonna get a v6 fifth gen just to walk '10 GTs :lol:

[enRo]

I dig it... I really like the interior.

[mc73nova]

I think I'm gonna get a v6 fifth gen just to walk '10 GTs :lol:

I was thinking the same thing. That is amazing if you think about it!

[ws6 jim]

We had a 6 speed in 93 among other advancements and have improved progressively since the fourth gen came out. Even without an fbody platform GM was still progressing to what we will have in March.

The Ford guys have no real progression except a flash in the pan with a slightly altered bodyline. The same sheep are going to buy this car when their lease or jollies run out on their current pony. Take the horsy off the grill and give it some regular looking wheels and it can be passed off as an econo-cruiser easily.

The camaro and firebird even in their most basic form have looked unique going down the road. Thats what ultimately did them in in 2002. It drifted too far away that only enthusiasts had one not the sheep. The 4th gen was good for us and bad for their marketshare. Now their changing the mentality by giving us a great car for the money to appeal to everyone-but its a little late.
Things will be interesting over the next few years relating to these two cars.

[BigAls87Z28]

Ehh...The GT is gunna be faster then the V6 car, but the V6 car sure wont be a slouch.

[NJSPEEDER]

I think I'm gonna get a v6 fifth gen just to walk '10 GTs :lol:

Why not, how many Mustang GT kills did Little G have before he even got into any serious modding?

-Tim

[BonzoHansen]

I think I'm gonna get a v6 fifth gen just to walk '10 GTs :lol:Will you ever be big enough to drive a V8?

[LS1Hawk]

I hear this new Mustang is 400-500 lbs lighter than the Camaro.

Still isn't as bad as the Challenger. I saw a white Challenger the other day and for some reason I felt a strong desire to strap on a peg leg and throw ****ing harpoons at it.

GT vs SS,
Contrary to every Ford fanboi's chatter, the new Mustang did NOT lose anyweight, and in fact the GT put on 45lbs. Not a whole bunch, no, but reports were that this Mustang was supposed to lose 50-100lbs.
Oh well. GT is still lighter then the SS by about 300-400 lbs.
GT is about 3600, SS at about 3900.
Where does 300 come from?
IRS, stronger chassis, 14/14.4 inch rotors and 4 pistion calipers on all 4 corners, larger trans, and throw a few lbs in there for awesomeness.

Ahahahahahaha post of the day!! :nod::mrgreen::lol:

[LS1Hawk]

Granted I have not seen each in person, but I think the Camaro is a better looking car overall. Yet, I've shown some of the pics to people who aren't fanboys of either car and so far they've all liked the Mustang better. Guess we'll see when they both come to market...if that happens.

[BigAls87Z28]

So far, I havent seen a lot of support for the Mustang.

I have seen Camaro and Challenger in person, but my view is said to be "tainted" so what I say doesnt matter. Just wait till you see it in person.
