92LX302 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thanks! The springs made a night and day difference compared to the 20 years old stocker (still have the original shock & struts as we speak however)... Went with Steeda Sports. Car already had subframes when bought. I hope the '15 GT kept some kind of 5.0 fender tag... Please 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimo183 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Although I like it very much, I think GM must be sighing in relief as I don't think it is enough to lure Camaro owners away. As far as a European car, it may be still too americanised I think the a closer representation of the Evos concept would have been more appreciated, but then this was always going to be a problem in trying to globalise the Mustang. May be Ford should have built the Evos and Mustang from the same platform/parts but just reskin them for US/European markets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taurusguy Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Looks like I won't fit inside it, especially if they reduced the height by 1.5 inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomServo92 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I'm digging it. It's a step away from the retro design without losing the Mustang DNA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is far more likely to lure Camaro buyers than the current one, although the majority of Camaro buyers want a Camaro - period - and wouldn't consider a Mustang regardless of style or performance. Same goes for Mustang buyers. The EVOs was just a concept for styling purposes. That styling could be applied to a Fusion coupe just as easily IF Ford decides they need one. Mustang is a pony car and needs to stay that way even globally, otherwise what's the point? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 Looks like I won't fit inside it, especially if they reduced the height by 1.5 inches That could be fixed by making the seats sit lower also. I fit fine in my 06 GT coupe at 6'2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

92LX302 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Those Camaro buyers are either die-hard GM fans or the kind of guys who thinks the only engine that can be made fast are the LSXs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustang is a pony car and needs to stay that way even globally, otherwise what's the point? Agree - these cars are basically niche models, and there are dedicated fans for each of these cars (Camaro, Challenger and Mustang). Most of them bought a Camaro, Challenger or Mustang specifically because they wanted that particular car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grbeck Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I like it. It looks like an advance over the current model while continuing the family resemblance. This is what the cars of the 1960s were able to do when the Big Three did it right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be Ford should have built the Evos and Mustang from the same platform/parts but just reskin them for US/European markets. The international appeal of the Mustang lies in the fact that it is a distinctively American design. Making it look like any number of other Euro-styled coupes on the market would remove the one thing that makes people in foreign markets want it in the first place.

97svtgoin05gt Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Not sure if I'm digging this or not. Its going to take some time to digest and actually decide if I like it. I will say this, my excitement factor when the '05 came out was over the top. With this one, not so much. Perhaps the performance testing will help ease the pain but I dunno. Looks wise, not exactly in the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks wise, not exactly in the boat. Well, to be fair, we've known from almost the beginning that this Mustang was not going to be a clean-sheet, entirely new design compared to what the '05 was replacing at the time. That one was replacing a vehicle that had been riding on similar underpinnings for 25 years!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcthorne Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I will go on record stating that I like it. No, its not the major step change that the 05 was but it does look like a Mustang. I really hope the information on weight reduction is true along with suspension improvements and the significant HP planned (I know the 5.8 is gone). I thinks its a move in the modern direction.

92LX302 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 The last shots makes it for me. Dang it looks good from that angle.Just a set of Steeda Sports Springs (we all know they're coming), 285 wide tires on the back and a set of Flowmasters...

I was debating photoshopping different colors, but waiting another 12 hours or so for the real deal made me realize it would be a waste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
