We will see if it's accurate.

Every time a new body style comes out, I hate it for about 2 months, then it grows on me for a month or two, then I like it. It's happened that way since the SN95.
So it died in 2014, even though its now the best selling sports car in the world, because you don't like the design?

I like my New Edge.I feel the same way. The Mustang that I grew up with, while designed with SCCA competition in mind, gave birth to the Pony Car, which was a light weight, mid range HP car that would either keep up with or beat the GT / Muscle Car in a straight line or in the curves. It was supposed to be very affordable and it was supposed to have primary appeal to women as far as looks went.
I think that 2014 was that last year the Mustang fit that category.
The new Mustangs are still attractive and geared toward the SCCA competition, but they are straight-line dogs compared to the muscle cars on the street today. They are not cheap, either.
I love the new Mustangs... but they share very little in common with any of their predecessors.
Edit: There is an upside. The Mustang II and the SN95 broke away from the original mindset, but Ford came back to it with the New Edge and S197. We'll see what the future brings.
The SN95 jelly bean was ugly when it was released, and it's still ugly today in my opinion. I admire them as a Mustang, but I can't get into the round design.Every time a new body style comes out, I hate it for about 2 months, then it grows on me for a month or two, then I like it.

Those specs would not surprise me IF they are true/accurate. If this car is going to have more power, bigger brakes, etc then I think it would need more cooling mechanisms and whatnot too, so then from where would this thing be able to save weight? Start removing seats, etc.? Maybe we are at the point with american muscle/pony cars where more hp is not necessarily 'better' anymore, and more horsepower is just simply needed in order to move these heavy cars faster (thus why Dodge just keeps adding more horsepower to make their vehicles faster without shaving weight) and if people want faster cars then at some point it will have to be done with less horsepower and more weight saving materials and designs, thus making things more expensive, etc. Perhaps we are now at a crossroad of some sort? I dunno, just my 2 cents and thinking 'out loud'.
See, people confuse "fast" and "powerful." Even if someone let out a faster car, if it has less power, some people never really make it past that point.
Its a mustang, its not supposed to have tractionEven if the new GT500 has a 1000 HP, if it can't get traction, it is worthless.

TRUTH! many people just do not understand why or how cars with less 'power' can wind up being 'faster' than those with more 'power'
NP01 is more or less the perfect car.
