I like a little retro and the new one doesn't look like it's quite sure what it is...

If the catfish mouth, Nissan window and Datsun taillights were changed it would be better.
I just don't like that the Mustang now looks like every other Ford in the front. At least it used to be uniquely Mustang all around. Now it looks just like the Fusion, Focus, Taurus etc... they all have the same openings, light designs and placement.

Good luck with that with the C7Z supposedly debuting next year.

Lots to like about about the 15, but my 14 isn't going anywhere.

If I do upgrade I will probably do it at the tail end of this model reign as the 2020 model will have subtle changes.

I agree on the power thing too. I wouldn't expect anymore more than 440ish.

I still don't see that motor fitting in these new cars...

Widht may end pu being just enough to shoehorn it in there, but I see no way that height of the 5.8 with the blower will fit into this new car's engine bay.

Its also extememly expensive to produce. The height of the engine is also the problem. Thats why the 5.0 took over.

So someone makes a pic of a GT500 in the new body style must means they are making one. SMH. And can you find a bigger pic Steve?

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

American muscle is saying 430, but they also said the current 5.0 has 422. Not much credibility there

Looks like Ford didn't forget about the drag racers:
