Title: New Mustang S 650 spotted ?
Post by: FL SAAC on April 13, 2022, 03:30:54 PM
A friend of mine just sent me these two photos that he took of a parked mustang ? As soon as he took them he was escorted out by two security guards as he was told he was trespassing

Pretty ugly

I got to say, if that is it, then they can resurrect the ugliness of the FOX body. Make me long for the Mustang II. Camaro? a little, but if you remove the horse, you got a dodge for sure! SCRAP IT FORD!

They won't scrap it.  They have full committees designing cars these days instead of one visionary that designs a work of art.  Now it devolves to hurt feelings if anyone's idea is left off.  I am surprised cars do not look like EV porpoises at this point but no doubt will some day.

Yes but it will have Mustang emblems on it. It's evolution like when the Falcon became a Mustang and then the Pinto followed by the Fairmont - today Ford has no car platforms to adapt so you'll be getting an Exploder chassis that has only ever had a V6 in it. I predict a Hybrid EcoBoost V6 with about 450 HP will be the top of the line. If you want a V8 buy now all the manufacturers are downgrading.

I don't think it's a Mustang.  The roof line (and "B pillar"??) don't seem correct.  Photoshop? Some sort of Charger with a Mustang emblem on the grille?

that's a good photo shop of a dodge charger.  I sent the image to a friend working on the project and he said not even close.

Just after the release of the 2005 Mustang, I was invited to share/see the (then) new (2011) Mustang models in prototype phase. Some were nice, while most were ugly. Again, around 2010 I was invited again to see the 'new' updated (2015 ish) models in prototype form. Some were as seen here in the first photos on this thread, and others were good, some ugly. Ford chose the uglier of the two prototypes for the current car. The 'better' car was what Saleen did. That said, I believe Ford will choose another ugly turd in my opinion. Honestly, the re-reto model 2005, and the 2011/12 model was nice. After that, well it went to the bottom feeder catfish design. Like Camaro, its a sales killer. No wonder Challenger is outselling it.

Well....with all the false starts, recalls, I don't think so. And 'most' Corvette guys hate the new design, me too. Its attempt to fall into the 'exotic car' with the rear engine, and styling, your not fooling anyone. Lets get real here, no Lambo, Ford GT, Ferrari , or Porsche owner will buy (or even look at) it. It's also a big, wide car. I also do not like the new Ford GT. Of course, styling is subject to personal taste.

I know, I know...its ego over brains...

You know I think your right it's a pretty ugly car

Wait until the Z06 comes out at about $85,000 and blows away 99% of all of the LamboWeenies, Ford GT, Felalis and Porschaaas

..... The 'better' car was what Saleen did.

Saleen always out styled Ford. Their current nose is said to be 4" longer than stock and that was the thing that made you scratch your head and say it's better but how?
If any of you missed the chance to lose money on the Shelby stock offering you can now dive into Saleen ownership for only $1 per share. Just stay away from the pitfalls on page 6. https://saleen.issuance.com/dl/Saleen_OfferingCircular.pdf

I did not say it's better now. What I said was back around 2011, I saw two prototypes of the then upcoming 2015 Mustangs. Ford chose the ugly one, and the one that I liked better was this version that eventually turned into the production Saleen:

The only bummer about Saleen and his cars, they are not reliable. Every one we tested broke down. Steve is a horrible businessman, and a PR bore. The 1980s cars were and are now getting the respect and bringing some serious dough.

^^^ I was about to write the exact same thing.  9 out of 10 Saleens we ever tested at MT and Car Craft broke.  Maybe closer to 9.9 out of 10.

I seem to recall stories from one of Saleen's team drivers about how Steve would sometimes skip out on hotel bills.  I'm not sayin' it's true...just what I heard.

Van,
I got a good one for ya...
We were filming an interview with Jim Wangers, and Ro from Car Craft was testing a Saleen at the same location. Ro was so pissed (and dropping many F bombs) at that Saleen for constantly breaking down and stalling. He couldn't even make it run long enough to get any numbers on it. He let me have a crack at it, and I agree it was a POS!

As per topic...
I would love to own a 2005/06 Ford GT...and it's retro. The new 'Vette won't be worth a damn in 5 years. Now back to regular programming as Roy suggested.
