is this going to compete with the Model X and Jag?

 

[JAJ]

A mock-Shelby?

A mock-Shelby?

It's going to compete with the GT350/500.

It's going to compete with the GT350/500.

It's going to need a REALLY BIG stereo system with speakers on the outside of the car.

 

[JDee]

Still won't make me a customer for it.

 

[Fat Boss]

I'd buy one.

 

[TMSBOSS]

I would look at one if they meet their goals. Cost in the GT-500 range makes it a hard decision.

Considering the theorized power output of the Shelby version is still less than a M3 Performance, I doubt it. Very curious to see how Ford approaches this. Tesla's have a lot to lose in the handling department, but even their midrange variants trump the highest performance trims of everyone else in power and acceleration.

Will Ford try to go toe-to-toe on power and accel? Or will they prioritize handling?

It's getting mighty polluted in Fordland and I'm not talking about the air.

I'm calling it now. This is Ford phasing out the Mustang we know and love and replacing it with this...abomination...

 

[TMSBOSS]

Nope. At the worst, they are developing options for the future.

Leaving the current money maker for a untried electric car.......Yea....right.

It'll be a slow transition. Start dribbling in performance models for this thing and give fewer and fewer options for the actual Mustang.

Also, the sky is falling, get off my lawn, and grab me another roll of tinfoil, my hat needs to be a little thicker.

The growl...The howl....being replaced?....not in my life tyme..I hope!!!!!!Ford would lose a HUGE fan base if they tried a stunt like that......future or not you can't forget where you came from................and keep it going...............long live a V8..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know, Ford's just looking to the future, with EV development....Tesla has started the trend......OPEC starting to get worried..........

If this does happen, it will NOT be because of some design Ford has to change the public. It will be Ford reacting to a changing public.

Do you remember the changes Rambler made in their last few years??? Exactly.

Think about this for a minute. Is ford and the Mustang more likely to survive if they embrace change?? How ironic it will be when Ford and the current Mustang both survive BECAUSE of the Mach E and the line of vehicles which will follow.

Get the heavy Tin Foil at the commissary, it lasts longer. LOL

Sorry. I did not mean to make a logical point. I'll try harder in the future.

Be careful!!!...Those things are few and far between around here.....Especially with my posts.....

Disruptive marketing?
