You're right, I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just seeing the headlines, about how this is the mustang's worst sales year ever, and it's got me concerned. There's probably nothing that can realistically be done about it, it's just the direction the two door sports car market is going in. But I can't help but wonder if a slightly more exotic mustang, something with just a little bit of extra flair, would help to slow the bleeding, if only by a little bit. Ford played it pretty safe with the s650 apart from the GTD, and as was the case with the 6th Gen Camaro, it's looking like that might have been a mistake.
It’s a pony car not a 2 seat sports car.
Go find a sports car with a back seat that has the power of the ecoboost or Mustang GT and it will cost a lot more.
Again, it's not bad, but it's a little heavy, the steering is a bit numb, the design is nice, but if they stretched the wheelbase, reduced the overhangs, and made it slightly lower, it would look really elegant. The mt-82 isn't great.
These are all things that are easy to forgive if you can get a V8 for 35 grand, but almost all of the GT's I see on dealer lots are in the 50s and 60s. I'm not saying the s650 is bad, just that a lot of people are looking at the other sports car offerings at 50-80 grand, and picking those instead.
Put it in Sport mode and when you brake going downhill it will hold a lower gear automatically. Not exactly the same as manual shift but should suffice.
It’s without a doubt the best Mustang ever made in terms of performance and interior quality and features. Not sure what you think needs to change to make it more super dee duper.
I appreciate you contributing to this thread with a reasonable response.
That could be a way to go about it, at least I was able to get the warranty company to agree to replace it after I provided specific wording with the contract that mentioned things like electric motors would be covered and that’s what failed, not the “headrest”.
