The Timberline looks pretty sweet, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why they refuse to offer the Gen 3 F150 Coyote in this platform.

I’m really interested in that SLA setup. Obviously there are other systems on the market, but I love that it pushed the front wheels forward for better balance, while still retaining the factory strut towers. it’s a very clever setup and I’m strongly considering duplicating it in my old IRS...

I guess they figured it was built strong enough to handle the loads from the coilovers. I also noticed, these cars had no subframe connectors or strut tower bracing, though I feel they could have benefitted greatly from both.

Here's a picture of the coilover. Interesting how they made it fit into the stock tower.

Speaking of different body panels - I'm not even sure the white car had the altered wheelbase, considering the front edge of the wheel well and flare. The hood is clearly a standard piece as well.

Here's a few more shots of this beast. It's hard to find any pictures of decent quality.

edit: I can’t even forum.

It was a great looking car, even with that crazy front bumper. It’s what the New Edge Cobra could/should have been.

Indeed. Sorry if this isn’t in the right section. Maybe it should be in 99-04 Cobras?

Couple more pictures for funsies.

Anybody remember the FR500 Mustang from 21 years ago? I do. Man I’ve never felt so old... It was Ford’s skunk works car meant to test out a bunch of new parts for the Ford Racing catalog including a dual-x dynamic exhaust system, magnesium variable runner intake manifold and various other go...

Sounds like you know something we don’t ...

Oh man why do I want this motor so bad... Dying for final HP/TQ figures. Anyone know outside dimensions yet?

I have a really hard time seeing this as a step in the right direction. I mean sure, it makes sense from a manufacturers standpoint to create a simplistic single cam engine for industrial applications, but I don't see this motor ever being used for any car platform or performance application...

Just the platform - not the car. No one in their right mind would want an actual four door mustang :rolleyes:

I think the obvious way for Ford to dig into this market segment is to simply expand the mustang platform into a four door (like it was meant to be capable of) and release a string of rwd sedans. The V8 doesn't even need to be offered at first. The ecoboost lineup could power it for the first...

You do know the Mustang is in the 25-40k market segment, right? The SS is a 3 option car with one engine and two transmissions. If they sold a down-market version of that chassis with a turbo 4 and six it would offset the cost of the chassis and lower the cost of the higher end models. Edited...

Stole the words outta my mouth. I've towed 8000 lbs with my F150 through mountains and it did better than my old F350 with its boat anchor 460. The coyote simply needs the proper gearing and it shines like Christmas. The new DI coyote for 2018 will very likely have 475 hp and 455 ft lbs and I...

I drove the Fusion sport the other day and while the 2.7 has decent umph the fwd chassis has all the driving dynamics of a Fridgidaire. Driven back to back with a used BMW 5 series and a Chevy SS, the Fusion got dropped from my short list completely. While I want a new car warranty, I don't...

Thought I'd resurrect this thread because of all the new Mustang announcements. I'm in the market for a new car right now and I'd kill for a Fusion sized rwd V8 sedan. I've always been a Ford guy and love the Mustang but I need 4 doors. To me a rwd sport sedan with multiple drivetrain options...
