People still holding their breath thinking this will be a 3,000lb car?

Love the non ambiguous gauges! Anyone notice the 6k rpm redline? WTF?

Believe that redline is for the I4 or V6

Dave "...from 412 to 420 horse? Well, we're going to take it a step further." LOL Okay?

Well based on the stuff he stated from the specs, I am expecting a solid 445-450hp and 410tq number. That would put it pretty even with the LT1 that will inevitably end up in the Camaro SS.

Why is there a turbo 4 AND a V6?

I love everything about it except the rear lower valence. I don't like how there are two non-painted parts between a painted part. Kinda don't like the reverse light location, other than that I love it all!.

I think 420 is a little conservative. Also i don't think they want to go much higher probably do they can sell the mach 1/gt350/cobra

Anyone thinking about upgrading? I love to look, but the back(not the tails) I need to get used to.

I may when the aftermarket fixes the Evo-inspired front end. It didn't work on the Charger and it doesn't work on the Mustang either IMO. Everything else about it is great.

If they do a Mach I'm sure the wife will want one. I'm really starting to dig the new Mustang. I think lowering it and the nice set of wheels will really make it look badass. With those bulging fenders and fastback design, some rear deep lip wheels are going to look outstanding!

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.
