I like it. alot.

Never was a fan of the S197. Always looked big and bloated to me. This actually looks light, nimble, and fast. I havent found anything to complain about yet. Need to wait until a production vehicle is available so I can point at the giant wheel gaps.

To me, flat black wheels are the new signature of rice. Thank goodness that was a chop.

The car is amazing, and if that is the low level version, then I am sure the GT and up will be extra sassy!

dang.. I have signature ricer wheels. Well... mine are satin, so semi-signature?


I didn't like it from the initial leaks, but I think it looks decent in the real pictures.

I realize what I like about the car. It's still a Mustang. Even though it is no longer a retro look, the car just screams Mustang. I look forward to seeing these around.

Your car is the epitome of pure rice. You should just ditch the Caddy emblems and glue some chopsticks in their place. :p





I like what I see so far with the new Stang. Of course, the final judgement can't be called until I see one in person. From the measurements listed (lower all-around with a slightly wider track), I think we're bound to see a much more sleek look in person. Ford is really pushing this as a premium car, so I'm eager to get inside one and see if they hit the target because damn, that interior needed some attention in a big way. Lighter weight, IRS, a Performance/Track package for the Eco-Boost equipped version and serious gain potential with a simple tune. I sure don't see any downsides at this point. Let's see what happens when pricing is released.

The Coyote 5.0 has proven to be incredibly mod friendly so far with multiple owners getting into the 500whp club with bolt ons and tuning, the most complicated bolt on being cams.

I know of several that are running mid 10s at full weight and normally aspirated. It's just nuts.

I love the idea of the Coyote motor under the hood, too. However, the GT package always commands a serious premium over lesser packages. I guess a lot will depend on how much more a GT track package will cost over an EcoBoost with a track package. That would be my deciding factor.

I spent my late teens and twenties driving tourqey big blocks that couldn't do anything but go straight, the thought of one of these new Mustangs with the 5.0, good brakes and exceptional handling makes for a pretty inviting package.

I think the 2.3 turbo will be a great package but if I was spending the cash on a new car I'd just spend the extra money and get the GT, that said I likely wouldn't buy new anyways, I'll wait and buy one used so I won't have to absorb the depreciation. :)
