Modern platforms are so good does it really matter?  These aren’t the old fox or panther platforms.  You’re not going to meaningfully increase stiffness or improve handling very much.  The electronics obviously need to be updated but not the basic platform or powertrains.

But I wasn’t complaining about it.  And I think you underestimate the money in drifting.  

Or you. And the drifting crowd can't afford it.

It’s for the drifting crowd not you.

I think it looks pretty good, but I would worry about the price. 

Tesla and Musk political baggage may explain some of Cybertruck’s failure, but given their poor sales compared to Model’s Y and 3 relative declines, I’d place blame squarely on CT’s design; which includes decisions that led to a vehicle priced near $100k or higher.  Tesla’s Model S and X in similar price range do not sell all that different than CT either, so high price leading to low demand is the shared common theme.  And it’s not all that different for other BEV manufacturers in same MSRP range.   It’s difficult to understand why manufacturers did not see that expensive BEVs around $100k would have very limited demand.  If for no other reason there are not that many rich people, especially when combined with those actually wanting to buy an electric vehicle.  Between high cost, high BEV depreciation, and realistic cost of borrowing money, it’s no wonder expensive electric vehicle sales seem to be collapsing.

Ho hum

Glad I got my 2-door when I did!

2026 Ford Mustang RTR Package Debuts With GT, Dark Horse Upgrades   Notably, the 2026 Ford Mustang RTR will be built alongside the regular pony car at the Flat Rock Assembly plant in Michigan, unlike previous (and current) models from the third-party company. On the outside, it certainly looks different thanks to things like the front fascia from the Mustang GT, an RTR front grille with illuminated nostrils, a Tarnished Dark anodized pony emblem and mirror caps, RTR fender badges, an RTR decklid, and additional Tarnished Dark accents including the hood, rocker, and rear quarter graphics, plus the GT Performance Pack rear spoiler.   In terms of mechanicals, the 2026 Ford Mustang RTR comes with the turbocharged 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost engine, which in this case receives no power upgrade over stock, but it does come with the active-valve performance exhaust as standard, along with the Electronic Drift Brake feature, and RTR’s anti-lag system that sharpens throttle response. Braking duties are handled by Brembo six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers, and the package also gets the same rear subframe and front and rear sway bars as the Dark Horse. Finally, the RTR receives a unique Track mode stability control tune, an optimized steering gear with increased travel, and a new tune for the optional MagneRide dampers.
