I was at a nice dinner in Monterey during car week and Edsel Ford II was speaking for a bit. TWICE he said, "Ford will always have a Shelby in it's lineup." To me, that sounds like there's going to be a successor to the 2015+ GT350 and the 2020+ GT500. Yet, there hasn't been anything about it that I've seen. Does Ford have it under wraps for the moment?

Regardless of whether it is good looking or not, 50% of current Mustang owners will say they like the style of theirs better, 25% will say it is the ugliest Mustang ever, and the other 25% will sit around with their friends sucking down a few beers analyzing every angle, curve, and design cue over the entire car. They will , of course, run out of beer before they come to a conclusion as many will have already passed out.

Well yes, beer! Didn't you know there is a hidden CO2 system in the S650 for a tap with mini kegs! Good for after track events. FYI - if the system is activated it disables the car.

Sounds more like a true sequential with the gear whine, lightning fast shifts and rev match. Maybe the new GT3 car is part of the reveal next week?

I just extracted the sound from that vid and made the best ringtone ever!!!

Here's how I did with an android phone:
-downloaded the video to my phone.
- dropped the vid on this website.


-Download the mp3 once it was extracted
- opened the sound settings
-open ringtones
-added the mp3 to the ringtone list.
- selected that mp3 as my ringtone.

It’s definitely ringtone worthy! I went back and read the GT3 announcement from early this year. The GT3 isn’t launching until Daytona 2024, so I don’t think that’s it. The same article said that a new GT4 using the S650 platform will be ready for the 2023 season - that’s my new guess at what’s in that sound byte released today.

Yeah, I'm thinking race car. I can maybe see the exhaust that loud with active exhaust and the mic stuck next to the pipe, but the NVH guys would be all over that gear whine on a production car.
