hey why is it that you motherfuckers dont show the whole picture and just a "black" one in which we cant see shit... dumbfucks

Hey!!!!!, I am a Peanut and even I know why it is a 'black' picture.
I think it has something to do with the word 'teaser'

I wouldn't consider this or any other Mustang until they stop using just a piece of girder as the rear suspension.
Seriously. Live-axle designs are dangerous and make the car handle like an ox-cart, but they're cheap thats why Ford keep using them for their US-only market cars.

And why can't American makers ever get much out of their engines? I mean this thing is a massive 4.6 Litres and they can only get 300hp out of it.

Ford could never really market this thing in Europe given what it would be up against. They wouldn't stop laughing at it and no-one would be stupid enough to actually buy one.

The general american perception muscle car needs big engine, and only import use turbo.

But, I'll take a smaller engine with turbo over a big ass engine with measly hp anyday.

Niz your comments are just so increbily ignorant its not even funny. The axle design isnt dangerous in stock form its not as good as it could be but hey the fr500c race car uses one and that wins races left and right. As for the engine only making 300 hp if you have never seen a dyno graph or know the corelation of hp and torque you should just keep your mouth shut so people wont think your completely retarded. 300 with 320 torque is alot of power for any engine. Yes you can but a subaru that make that much hp but its a very stressed engine and in the long run will probably fail before this does. As well as the car isnt marketed in europe because its not designed for europe just like your pos diesels wont be coming here any time soon.

Doesn't Ford have anything interesting beside many versions of the same mustang shit? No wonder they suck, there's already like a 100 version of the mustang out there...time to pack it up and create something new.

"blah you!:

quoted for truth.

the only thing that scares me is how lackluster & crappy their "something new" will be.

Nobody ever said that the Mustang engine had a great power per liter ratio. It's all about power per dollar.

The STi and EVO are both roughly the same power as the Mustang and cost a good bit more.

Power per liter? What a meaningless way to measure performance unless you live someplace with so few freedoms that displacement is restricted (which isn't where this car is sold anyway.) Power per mass and esp performance per dollar is far more meaningful.

While Europe produces some truely enviable automobiles, the average European can't afford the great ones. Most are driving 12 sec 0-100km/s tin cans. In the US, the average car sold is roomier, safer, and quicker than the average car sold in the EU. (Gas mileage may be half, but gas prices are 1/3.)

BTW: For 2007, what was the quickest car for under $20K? (Feel free to Google the answer.)

Everyone also has to keep in mind that here in America we do have a fairly long tradition of upgrading cars. And no, not that ricey crap that started in the late 80's/90's. I'm sure Ford could add $10-15k to a stock GT and give you a car with +700hp. Of course you could go look through any performance parts catalog and do the same thing, probably slightly cheaper. It really is all about making it original to you. Sure you could buy an M3 with as much, if not more power (forget the class/luxury difference for a moment), but it's not like your M3 is much different for Bob's M3 down the street. Where as you start with the Mustang GT, add a set of Lunati cams, Weiand supercharger, free flow exhaust, MSD ignition system, traction bars, upgraded antisway bar, ect.. ect.. ect.. Now you have a car that is unique to your specs. Look at classic muscle cars here, they are either 99% stock or fairly modified. I don't see to many videos of modified euro spec cars (at least not what we get in America anyway). Besides any car company sells a ton more base cars than the top end anyway. Most mustangs are V6, as well as most 3 series BMW's being 328 or lower class. Each area of the world has there repsective tuner cars, here in America we just like to go fast and melt tires, it really doesn't take alot of skill (or money) to do either.

The issue there is that you've just blown a bunch of money on a selection of aftermarket parts so in total the car has now cost you as much as if you bought a euro one in the first place.

plus you now have taken responsibility for making sure all the stuff you do to the car works well enough and is safe and reliable.

To be honest, I'd rather just spend the same money and buy a better standard car thats right in the first place and has gone through professional testing and configuration, not hacked together by Fred in a shed. Also you end up with an much higher quality car with better resale value.

I think there are two trains of thought here. Most people just want to buy a car and be done with it. Others buy a car knowing in advance the mods they will install. 35K will get you a great car either way. Whether you want a stock BMW 328i or a 500hp blown Mustang is up to you, keeping in mind these cars have totally different priorities.

I think there is a mis spelling in the car's name.

It should be Ford Mustang BullShit Edition.

:)

good one, grats on the immense amount of thinking that must have taken.

Bubba551:

How about power per unit engine mass. That has huge effects on performance and economy.

If i can go fast without a 400 lb lump of iron sitting over the front wheels I'd be much happier

let's just not care about this car at all?

Thing is so fungly even Ford is scared to show it. That black outline already makes me cringe.

Perhaps I'm comparing apples and oranges, but I own both an Audi A8 (4.2 Quattro) and a '66 Mustang with a 289 bored out to 302 cu in. Without a doubt the mustang is a faster-accelerating car. It is still under some amount of restoration and I'm afraid to push it past 100mph, but I've never gotten the performance from a dead start from the Audi as I have the Mustang. But let's say they're the same for argument's sake. It's so much easier to upgrade an American car over a Euro car. I mean, ridiculously easy. I realize that the 60s were a long time ago, but even so, there arent nearly as many complexities on an American engine. I can put in an upgrade and chances are that it will work. However, I'm deadly afraid of removing even a vacuum hose from the Audi, because the chances of its death are very high. Most Americans, and even Europeans, do not tinker on their own cars anymore. They buy the upgrades and install them. So in the end, buying a mustang and upgrades is probably much cheaper than a European car and trying to increase its output. I would say that in that department, American cars have something on the German vehicles.

Not that I have anything against European cars. I love my Audi like the morning sun loves the flower. Just saying, for those who like upgrading, a mustang is perfect.

As usual typical domestic hatred. I think I am done visiting these forums, you guys are really just haters. When ever someone says something negative about a Euro car you guys say "well don't buy it" or that the person talking crap must not be able to afford it. Then you guys do nothing but talk trash about the cars that they can afford. You guys honestly never have anything worth while to add to any domestic article. I am done with this site, not because of the site, because of the people that frequent it.

Domestic haters? Try reading the article about the Nissan GTR or Euro cars...full of import haters bragging about the Corvette...haha...There are haters on both sides, depending on what article you read. Reading the posts above, there is all this talk about "performance per dollar." That is fine for a track car, but for a street car I'd like to think that my money wasn't just going for an engine, as is the case with Ford and GM products. How about some noise and vibration control, windows that don't feel like they're going to fall back in the door when you close it (close a Mustang door and it sounds and feels CHEAP), or a dashboard that crackles and rattles when you drive or even push on it. In some cases "you get what you pay" for does matter, and that goes for domestics and imports.

Has anyone watched the movie "Bullit"? It looked to me like the car was totalled every turn it made. Bottoming like crazy. It seemed to be just about the worst pick for a high speed chase through San Francisco.

Hmmm, so my guess is they added a CAI and a typical Ford conservative tune to get 312HP. Let's hope they also lightened the pig for a better HP/weight ratio. For my money I'll wait until the new engine comes out with more HP.

wow there are some winners on here. how many of you have or even driven an '05 or nwer mustang? regardless of you'll say, the unibody is new, nothing to do with the '79-04 mustangs, the rear suspension is a new design using tried and true components, the interior is above anything in its price range. can any of you find a car that has 300+ hp on regular for uder 40k? both the gt and bullit can. for the money, the v8 mustangs have more performance than any car in its price class. if you dont own it or a competing car, dont bash them.

This is just Ford doing again what other Americn companies do after Ford does and thats paying homage to what has gotten the Mustang its name. The Mustang is the lowest priced sports car available.

This is alos for those who loved that car and wanted one since they were a kid kinda like those who always wanted a 67 GT500( but who could afford a real one for 1 mill?).

I for one have no real respect for Euro cars and my reasoning is simple. I have a 99 Contour(Mondeo in Europe) which when pitted against a Audi A4, BMW 325i, and Infiniti G25 came out on top in every aspect. Hell my friend had a 99 Contour SVT and smoked a BMW 325i on the highway.

Euro cars are fine but I prefer American as you can mod them to hell. For instance you can take a Focus and throw a 302 Boss engine in it, turn it into a real wheel drive and have a 300+HP Focus that would smoke anything else out there in its class. Same is true with most any Ford out there. I plan on dropping the 3.5L Duratec when it comes out in my Contour.

I for one love the new Mustangs as their design represents the classics and the future and has options from the base Mustang to the GT500 for people in any range of income.
