The more I see of the '15s the more I want one. So glad they finally decided to put paddle shifters in them! Thanks for the write up and impressions Steve!
First Impression: Ecoboost 2015 Mustang
I think I'm going with comp orange. I want another white one, but I cant pass up that orange.
It's only a matter of time before you see an Ecoboost 2.3 running 10's down the strip in street trim. Good write-up Steve.
Absolutely. Comp Orange was what drew Tiffany in, she's always wanted a Comp Orange Terminator. I think I was the one that convinced her to go with Guard lol.
We know we sure can't wait to get our hands on a deep impact blue 5.0! Great write up as always
How quickly does the auto shift with the paddles? Is it rather fast or painfully slow like the sport-shift in my wife's 2010 Milan?
95+% of the cars will never see a road racing track, and racers do not care about hiding brake dust.
I wonder how much power can be made with that twin scroll KO4?
The shifting seemed pretty responsive Black92
I can't wait to see how these do once they are released.
I'm not a huge fan of the guard. Green is a no go. I might change my mind once I see it in person though.
Cannot believe this late, that there are no official numbers and only preproduction cars. 2015 cars will be out in a few months, there shouldn't be so many unknowns with this vehicle. Should already be comparison tests between it and the Camaro/Challengers. Unless maybe it isn't that good?
or maybe it's even better than anybody expected and they're gonna drop the BOMB!
I doubt all the details and specs of the car are 100% set yet.
or maybe ford doesn't want to just release numbers because they are just that, numbers... and their engineers put more into the cars than the numbers it produces.
p.s.
i would still like the performance figures, but i can understand why ford may be late in the game of releasing specs.

how can it not be 100%. Shouldn't it be hitting showrooms in 3-4 months? What changes except maybe programming can they do at this time?
You'd be surprised how much work is done right up to the moment production starts.
I failed you by not crawling under the car, Tob. However, I doubt it has the one-piece carbon shaft you are hoping for. ;-)
Fail? Impossible. When others merely scratched the surface you dove down to retrieve the tech they felt didn't matter or that their readers wouldn't comprehend. The S197 powertrain and suspension articles that you and Wilson did on the GT500, Boss, etc, raised the bar to new heights. I expect nothing less this time around.
My sense is that with a similar wheelbase to the S197 that the S550 will still utilize a two piece on the 4, 6, and the eight in the GT. Depending on how far Ford went to trim fat, I could see aluminum in place of steel. As for CF...my guess is that it'll rear its head in form of a one piece on the Top Dog '16 model.
Anyway, looking forward to the details finally being given the green light and reading your thoughts.
