So your telling me if the car makes 450 or 460 HP, you don't see any good reason to let out those numbers a little earlier?
I guarantee if the power is impressive, they'd see more pre-orders than they already have.
Would you say the same thing about the Hellcat? Would Dodge have nothing to gain by NOT releasing that magnificent HP figure until a few days before the car is actually available. That power figure has people going nuts.
Look, many of the diehards are already disappointed that the Mustang has gained weight. Ford should be saying something about the power. Tell the potential buys that the car makes XXX horsepower (which will make up for the weight) or that it DOES run the 1/4 mile even faster than the last car. SOMEthing!
I for one think it will likely be just as quick as the current car, but not a lot quicker, if it at all. I'd be shocked if it was slower in a straight line.

I think it will surely be a good handling car. Unfortunately most of the comparisons we'll see will be against the standard 2015 SS and probably not the 1LE, although i think a few of those will pop up as well. Hopefully I'm wrong and we'll see lots of throw downs between the 1LE and the Performance Package Mustang.
I can't really end this post without saying that I feel the Mustang is just kind of boring to look at. Its not exciting to me at all. Rear is kind of cool to look at straight on....otherwise no.
