When built LS/Yote's are getting treed and bus length'd by Tesla's on ludicrous mode, I feel like we are at the moment where it's inevitable electric cars will be much much faster. In five years it won't be hard to imagine a 9 second all-electric two door sports car.

Not exactly excited about since cam chop booty pop gives me the man wood, but it goes along the theory of "something will always be faster than you"

You right man. I didn’t think about the Tesla cars.

The range first has to go up a lot & the price has to come down a lot in order for that to be common. We have a ways to go.

I like my 2015 more and I personally don't like the digital cluster. None of the upgrades on 2018 interest me enough to trade in. I doubt it handles better than my GT with Cortex Racing coilovers and BMR suspension.

15-18 are all ass ugly. ...

Not all of them. The GT350s are light years beyond the rest of the S550 line in the looks department. But yeah, in general, the S550 is an ugly ass car. It takes the right color and wheel combo to make it look halfway decent.

...it's pretty much time for a brand new overhaul

Can't wait for the newer, smaller, lighter Mustang II!

Sorry all you retro lovers. The current GT350R is the best looking mustang there's been. I can't wait to see the GT500. The 13-14 GT500 looked great too but the S550 is a better car all over.

Guilty. Guess I’m a lone wolf in thinking the S197 I (05-09) is the best looking modern Mustang. Call me crazy but I wouldn’t trade my lowly 3V GT for any S550 or a Trinity. Now if it was a KR, maybe. But I agree the GT350R is one aggressive looking car and so is the Trinity. I bet that Predator will meet our expectations and surpass the Trinity’s performance.

I’m impressed. It’s not very common for them to have a supercharged model out the same MY of an update. Well compared to previous models. Plus I heard they weren’t going to have a supercharged model for 18, might have been referring to the Stage 3 model. It’s impressive they’re just 17hp away from the 17 P-51. That 2650 with DI is going to be a deadly combination.

I'm usually not a Roush fan, especially with the 2015-2017 cars, but the JackHammer doesn't look all that bad. And that's considering I already don't like the '18+ car.

So a 710hp JackHammer with tire only should be good for a 10.6 or so, if the '15-17 cars were any indication.

& cost what, $65k+? I think I'd rather have a ZL1 for that price.

The only problem I have with the front end of the 18+ is that they combined the fog light and the turn signal which causes a triangle on the lower part of the front fascia, change that and it changes the whole look.
I love the back end with the new taillights since they remind me of a 67-68 tailight and with the roofline being what it is it looks like a 67 from the back. I also love the Performance Pack 2, hopefully it beats the 1le.
