Stupidest Thing About 2020 GT500!

[94RedCobra]

The new GT500 looks awesome and will likely have the performance to back up the good looks. However, I wouldn’t buy one based on the stupid rotary shifter alone! Also, come on Ford, don’t put plastic shift paddles on a car like this. Make them out of magnesium or aluminum.

Ford keeps doing this stupid shit when it comes to the user experience. Build a decent vehicle 95% of the way and then play stupid cheapskate on the last 5% that the owner actually touches and feels.

Thoughts?

Same issue in the new Explorer. Isn't the whole point of a rotary shifter that designers can put it anywhere and free up console space? Now we have Ford switching to rotary shifters and putting them in the middle of the console where the traditional shifter went.

Rotary shifter?
*Looks up "Gt500 Rotary Shifter" in the Google*

I can think of some things far more stupid than that. For instance, the fact that it's likely going to cost over 90K when fully optioned, and over 100K with dealer markup.....for a Mustang.

Nah, that shifter tops it.

I hope not, but I'm honestly thinking you're right on the close to $90k msrp. And ADM, it will be there for sure. I'll let those guys that gotta have it take the hit. I can wait a few years.

Where did you see that the paddles are plastic?

 

[03Sssnake]

I think the DCT is awesome, rotary shifter is kinda lame, but whatever. I could maybe swing it if I sold my 14, a testicle, a kidney and financed for 96 months..

 

[blk02edge]

Those paddles are definitely not plastic... People keep making stuff up lol. Rotary knob is definitely gay but wouldnt be a deal breaker to me

 

[04MysticCobra]

Except for the large mouth bass front end that most car companies are using now the new GT500 looks great. The DCT is fine but I still enjoy rowing gears because I am an old school fart. The stupidest thing will be the price since I paid less for my house...lol.

Needs a GT500 rocker stripe, and that GT500 stamp taken off the front bumper. Change those 2 and I’m ok with the body; and I’d be in love if they made one in RC. In regards to the transmission, I want 3 pedals, period.


Pick your poison.

They do look chintzy compared to the ones in my truck. They should be CF in the CF package...****ing Ford always ****ing shit up.

Til they have to put their hand around that dainty shifter.

 

[svtfocus2cobra]

What pisses me off is that they actually made the rear spoiler out of cardboard! Can you believe that? And the supports for it I read are made of confiscated straws from California.

All that sacrifice, and the birds will still shit on it.

Im just disappointed its not around 30k with performance equivalent to a 720s. I mean the car is probably slower than a pulley'd demon. #fail

Likely, traction deciding against a stock demon
