That MB doesn't look too bad at all. I've loved the new mustang up until now. Although, hard to say without seeing it in person.
I was hoping for the return of SVT, guess not...
SVT never left!
This.
My 13 GT500 says SVT on it probably 20 times.
Says Shelby on it once.
Twice... One on trunk lid, one on console lid.
Unless the 13+ changed :beer:
I can't bring myself to believe that the GT350 will be the Top-Dog, Halo Mustang. You're telling me that Ford (more specifically SVT) is going to drop the power output by 112HP on their pride and joy?
Same HP but much better chassis/suspension/brakes and less weight.
Probably going to be a big weight drop which should make up up for the 112 hp. Plus I doubt that is a set in stone figure and if it was it's probably underated like most our cars have been the past few years.
Have a tiny bit of faith guys. While Ive never had a big supply myself, when it comes to the future of mustang and SVT AND Shelby, I don't think anyone will be disappointed. Car and Driver got a few things right, but that's not what it will look like. Also, remember 550HP in a car that can utilize 100% of the power > a car that has 662HP that you cannot get out of your driveway without going sideways. (Although that can be mighty fun too)
The GT350 will follow characteristics of its original design, and the GT500 has already done its roots proud. Nothing Ford is doing or has recently done makes me think they are screwing it all up now.
Then there are the few variants Ford already has planned for 2017-18 and another big idea floating around.

Wow i think I like the 13-14 much better
The lead designer when the 2013 GT500 motor was announced said multiple times in his interviews that the Trinity motor was going to be the most powerful ever. Meaning in history and for a while to come. Look at how the 2003/4 cobra was made. It took them until 2007 to bring out a car with more power then that.
