2015 Mustang

[mustangc]

The 94 had less hp than the previous fox bodies.

:??:The Mustang GT's had 10 more rated horsepower in 1994 than the '93 fox... 205 -> 215. The SVT Cobra had more power, too in 1994 (235 -> 240).

I realize the 87-92 cars were rated at 225 hp, but the 1993 GT didn't lose 20 horsepower compared to the 1992 model. Ford changed their testing method for 1993, so that skews the results somewhat.​

There was a huge downsizing in body and power in the mid-70's. It might happen again, but looking at what the competition is doing suggests that Ford also won't have to neuter the pony just yet... Besides, in listening to the guys who have worked on Team Mustang in the past, I think they'd rather move to Moscow than let us down. They're Mustang fans, too!

I dunno...remember there was another era of "horsepower wars" back in the late 60s, early 70s. Cars were bigger and heavier but also were in the 400-500hp range. then they went back down again. Hell the first 5.0 was 220hp in the late 60s and I think the mustang 2 5.0s were under 150hp.

My '82 5.0 GT (which was the car to have back then!) was a 5.0 liter 2 barrel carb and if I remember correctly produced 157 hsp. You could also get optional Recaros back then as well! Keep in mind, with that whopping 157 hsp, you could blow the doors off of any Camaro or 'vette of that era.

Remember burying the needle on those 85 MPH speedo's?

The backend of the mustang in the rendering makes me glad I bought my '13.

That's what everybody said about their 07's - '09's when the 2010's came out!

8 New Cars Coming to Thrill You in 2014 | Wall St. Cheat Sheet

Got this off of yahoo this morning.

I wonder if the drawing in this pic is close to what it will be?

If it is, I am very happy with my 13 and will not even think about trading up.

I love this quote too out of the article.

"Expect a 2.3 L, 16-valve turbo engine with manual and auto transmission, with Ford opting for a split-and-jointed drive axle for the first time ever. The Mustang will celebrate its 50th birthday in 2014, so expect Ford to come out with the most fearsome version of its classic ride."

Most fearsome version of its classic ride? Don't think so!

I really really really hope Ford doesn't make this mistake. But it looks like it is headed that way.

You're aware the 2.3L ecoboost is merely an option and not the only engine right?... It's also going to have new versions of the current v6 and the 5.0 in the 11-14 mustangs, most likely direct injected.

I don't know why some of you mock the Ecoboost 4 cylinder. It's supposed to have around 350 hp and 300+ ft/lb of torque. It's also not the base motor, its the V6. Of course ford is t going to call it an svo but I'd think an intake/exhaust/tune Ecoboost 4 with a suspension similar to that of the boss/gt500 with some other minor suspension work could really be a fun car. Being the lightest of the offerings plays in its benefit as well.

Of course I'm not taking away from either the v6 or 5.0( which I also think will be upgraded with direct injection as a minimum) because I think they'll be great too. I'm not even going to even get into the next svt platform as I know its going to kick ass.

What I find comical is the whole "4cyl turbo, must be slow!"

Lest you forget the 2.0l has 252hp in the focus ST (more horspower than the GT of only 10 years ago) which has 70more HP than the 1.6 Ecoboost

All things being. Equal- What makes anyone think that the 2.3L will have less than 300hp? Or even less than 330hp?

Ya'll are high. That car will be light, fast, and fun.

I just want to see the damned thing so we can have a real debate on that motherfu*ker.

 

[Chris!]

They've def kept it pretty well under wraps

Let the Japanese make rice burners. I wouldn't want a mustang without a V8. I might except a Twin Turbo V6 but not a 4 cyl.

 

[Nathan'sTsi]

I would probably sell my gt500 in favor of an ecoboost v6 mustang (provided it had leather and nice stereo), but not for the turbo 4. For the turbo 4 to make the power I would want on 93 octane, the powerband would not be all that fun.For people thinking thr 4 cylinder eb will be "fast" , remember it will be down about 100 ponies ti a gt, which is just quick.

Back in the 60's and early 70's horsepower rating was gross power with no accessories and basically a bare engine. Horsepower ratings were later changed to a net calculation after adding in accessories and what not.

I like that, but only if the scoops on the hood, sides, and front bumper are functional.

You're welcome.

What the holy hell do they have going on with that front bumper? The grill/nose reminds me too much of the 2014.

 

[mgallo13]

I personally love the rendering as well as the spy shots. Shows a lot of promise.

 

[HEMI LOL]

This car is going to look fantastic. Ford continues its hot streak of sexy designs.
