s197 & s550 Mustang side by side

[f ê r]

While the 6G Mustang maintains almost the same length of the S197, its proportions and sleek design including the sporty roof-line, make it look smaller, wider and lower.

That inch or inch and a half drop really made the look. Glad its lower.

I like the S197 better

Don't care too much for the rear on both cars

Hate to say...I was right. Check my posts back when the 2010 first came out. I recommended dropping the top of the tail down an inch or so to create a graceful curve and to get rid of the bulk. Posted some pics. Done deal on the '15.

It will be interesting to compare the '15 to the Alpha platform Camaro. The Gen One (The Hugger) Camaro's felt much lighter than what they came up with. I will wager the new Camaro is going to look pretty damn good...even next to the '15 Stang. Should be an interesting couple of years coming up.

The roof line makes a huge difference.

What is the gt base price and weight?

What is the gt base price and weight?

Ford hasn't yet said per se. JOB1 is scheduled for June-July and deliveries starting in August-September.

A minimum of 10% increase over the current 2014 model should be an educated guess. Rumor has it, the 2015 is at least 200# lighter. They didn't said either if that was the EB-4, V6 or V8s.

I think they're waiting for the competition (Challenger, Barracuda -if build- and the Camaro) to make their moves regarding pricing and weight.

Finally a Mustang that doens't look like a 4x4 off the lot. Growing on me more and more.
