Gotta have Sirius XM and the Performance Package (to get the LSD and better brakes). Throw in the Recaros and you're at $42,810.

I'd be surprised since the GT350 will have a different hood, bumper, fenders, much wider tires, and the carbon ceramic brakes haveto be an additional $5-8k by themselves. Plus it'll have a completely different motor and trans. We will see...

Former Mustang/Cobra guy checking in. In general, I'm pleased with what Ford is doing with the cobra in the last 7 years. This looks to improve on that trajectory.
I like it when any auto manufacturer commits large sums of R & D dollars on performance vehicles. It improves the industry overall. So like it or not, be aware that it is good in general for us enthusiasts. |

I hate to break it to you, but I just don't see this car coming in at under $50K. Then you have to figure it will be 9mos to a year before dealers quit putting a "market adjustment" of +10K on the car. However, if it runs/sounds like that friggin video...it'll be worth it. Man that thing sounded good and was definately hooking up around the track...

Wow, just wow.
The new generation of American sportscars (or engines at least) are quite exciting. I'd expect to see many familiar faces doing test drives at Ford dealerships soon!

You can call it an LSD but it really is more of an open diff. |

Your argument is since its not a good one (which I disagree for the street) its an open diffy... BTW, even the M diffy has its detractors for using it at the track...although I found it to be quite a bit better than the Ford Traction-Lok. If I was to buy a Mustang it would definitely have the Torsen unit though. For $2500 you get the wider wheels, bigger 6pot Brembos and the Torsen among other items...thats a no brainer. Billy are you guys still running the Boss? Haven't kept up to much with GrandAM this year. BTW, regarding the flat plane crank...from what I read to take advantage of the FPC the exhaust manifolds would have some serious issues for packaging in the tight Mustang engine compartment. However, its still a possibility for the GT500, Ford looks like they may go all out with the GT500, from what I read on SVTPerformance. How is the E92 M3 still doing? Are they competitive?

Still running a Boss for a new team. Fallline's M3 is up there in the championship but only has 1 dog in the fight. BMWs are still fast (at every track, qualifying on Pole, etc...), so are Porsches, Astons and Nissans have been given alot and should be winning everything and the Z28 is a GT car and dominating. My season has been full of bad luck but catch the race that airs this weekend from Mosport, it was a good one. No issues in a FPC for the manifolds. Not sure where you heard that from, since FPC does not crowd the collector as bad as a crossplane crank. |

I let the new Mustang sort of fall off my radar awhile ago when they revealed that the styling was more of an evolutionary step from the outgoing model than a new direction.
But, wow, if this rumor about a naturally aspirated engine with 550 HP @ 8000 RPM is true it's hard to ignore even if OTD price approaches $60k. I've got an F80 coming because I really do need a sedan now, but this SVT Mustang is certainly drool worthy. Since BMW could not, maybe Ford can build an 8k RPM motor that won't fail me before 100k mikes. |

The GT500 is more of a drag machine and never was intended as a big road/track car like the Z/28 (even though it's only 2 seconds slower on the 'ring than the Z/28).

Rumors are that the GT350R above has a FPC and it definitely sounds different, so it's very possible. Also supposedly running a 5.2L motor, possibly with DI. The stock 5.0 is now rated at 435hp, you can get one of those with the track pack if that's all you want They say the GT350R will be in the 500-550hp range, should roast any comparable BMW alive (until BMW finally grows a pair and builds an actual road-course oriented model)

The Coyote is a GREAT motor but I am starting to hear some reliability issues concerning it. Probably isolated issues tho like our bearing issue with M3's.
