I’m sure RTR and Vaughn helped with tuning but the parts are definitely already available including some dark horse parts according to RTR.

Another issue that may or may not be a problem is you no longer need a sports car to go fast. EVs can accelerate faster while still providing all the space, functionality,  and creature comforts of a SUV, truck, or sedan. And today’s ICE trucks and SUVs are not too far off from sports cars from a few years ago. F150, escape and explorer can all go 0 to 60 in mid to upper 5 second range. 

True and as Akirby said, it’s a no brainer considering Ford h already had the EB performance packs. Dedicated models would make forward ordering of parts easier.

What’s ridiculous is that you don’t take the time to read a post before reacting.  I stated clearly that original Mustang was not comparable at all, and THAT is part of why today’s Mustang is not as affordable.  I stand by that because the numbers are what they are.  I still have the goddamn window sticker to prove it, so disagree all you want.  Good luck getting Mustang back to 600,000 a year with cars only the 1 percenters can buy.   And also to be clear, I did not imply Ford markets Mustang to males more than women, though they may.  What I stated, and believe, is that marketing to drifting crowd may appeal to some, but also turns off others who see drifting in a very poor light.  I’m sure you disagree with that also.  I DONT HAVE TO AGREE WITH ANY POINT OF VIEW TO KNOW IT EXISTS.    

Hopefully the head honcho also plans to add electric versions of Mustang coupe and vert at the upper end performance variant side of things. Yea, I know it's not nearly as important as gettin' next gen F-150 Lightning or Mach-E ready, but if Jimbo is as serious about keepin' Mustang coupe/vert alive as an iconic product, Ford can't dilly dally for years and years on this

If they keep the current platform (which I imagine they will), the hard points will dictate what they can, and cannot, do.
