The revisions to the Coyote are gonna make it the most boostable factory V8 on the market. Even higher flowing heads along with a forged crank and rods will probably mean somehwere in the 800whp range on factory internals if not more. I don't know what the capabilities of the LT1 are from the factory but I can't see it being that high.

I really love the steering wheel... because it looks like the one in my 2010 SS.

Other than that... eh... nothing spectacular to look at... now let's see the performance.

GM has the goods to do a turbo 6 or 4 if they feel customers would buy it. Really it's gonna come down to styling. If GM nails it they will steal the domestic sales lead again, but they might also give up the international sales to Mustangs broader approach in design. I'll take it.

Wasn't sure at first but I'm a fan now. Just not in red, I hate red cars. Wish my '65 was any other colour.

Sorry, my original 1965 Mustang is labelled a 2+2 and if offers more rear seat room than my current Mustang. They have always been regarded by Ford as 2+2 cars.

From what I have seen so far, it appears the new Mustang is only on a 265 tire, which may not be enough to eclipse the 1LE. The weight most likely will only be about 100 punds on a GT model, but Ford has done most of the lightening on the front of the car which should help balance. That combined with slightly wider rear track makes for interesting bench racing in the interim!

I don't doubt that the track version, and God knows what it will be called, will eclipse the Boss and the 1LE, and perhaps even the ZL1. Ford fans can only dream as of now if it will match the impressive numbers put down by the Z/28, but I'm sure they will try.

I wouldn't expect 'Ring times for the car, as it appears Ford isn't biting on that hook, but never the less, head to head comparisons by the magazines will certainly keep us all looking for any advantage over the other guy!

Ford... Always showing GM the way forward.

Nope. Sorry. Too European looking for my taste. Doesn't look like an American muscle car anymore.

Mustangs never looked like Muscle Cars to me. And always had a European aspect about them.

When some magazine finally does a Camaro 1LE versus Mustang GT comparo we'll see what the car is really capable of.

Put the Boss to shame? Not on the 1/4 mile, but maybe on the road course. I will even dare to say a GT can beat the the 1LE on a 1/4...I could careless about who wins on a road course.

IMO, there is so much to like about this car. Performance should be off the charts, with all the new pieces from the Boss 302 and the diminished weight.

Now, if I can only fit in it.....I'm 6'3" and 225. The Camaro is already a little tight on me. LOL
