I once saw a bad photoshop of Scarlett Johansson's titties. I decided right then and there that I didn't want to fuck her.

Ive seen so many rumors on the "GT350" car. Some say its gonna replace the GT500 has the top HP model, others say its gonna be a pure track focused one to take on the Z/28. getting hard to keep track of what the rumor mill says the GT350 will be haha

I have read a few things from some reliable sources that there will be a GT350 and no more supercar level power GT500.

the gt350 is going to have more power than the gt, but nothing like the GT500's. The GT will be more focused on handling and won't be a sledghammer like a 500.

Well the fact that they are trying to basically redefine the term "muscle car" means that it will not have hard body lines any more. So when it comes to a new body style another fifty years from now, the Mustang can have a retro version of this body style. In other words, this is going to be the muscle car of the future so to speak.

It's fine by me that the car will not have hard lines any more. But this rendering still does not get me all excited about the new Mustang. What will get me to like it is time and the aftermarket, that's the same way I was after the 13-14 came out. I hated the rear of the 10-12 at first but now they look like sex to me. Lol.

10-14 rear still look ugly to me. The 13-14 slightly less so.

4cyl EcoBoost
3.7L V-6
5.0L Coyote

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^These are from some pretty reliable sources.:thumb2:


I wonder how much boost you will be able to squeeze out of this thing. If it can move like an STI or Evo with a few bolts and a tune...I'm all for it. As much as I like V8's, I can adapt and switch to another platform. I hate when people say "V8's only" and then you ask for their reasoning behind it and they have nothing smart to say.

By the way Gmitch, I'm happy you're able to bring us this info even if it's not 100% haha. It still gets me thinking...

Boost = replacement for displacement. Although boost + displacement = unholy

I've seen a dyno graph from a 2.0L EB that was making 350/350 at the tires. CAI, exhaust and a tune. That's some serious steam. And that was on 93. e85 would be pretty impressive if the fuel pump could keep up.

I REALLY like the C&D render, but some sources say that the blue render is more accurate.

I hope that they do come out with the turbo 4cyl, and the 475hp 5.0.. Those combos plus 400+ weight reduction.. It will be a blast!

Don't see a lot of difference in the two. Other than the 1/4 windows are a little different and the blue one doesn't have the vented hood. The blue would be my choice of the two. However until I see one I am really unsure if I like or not.

The overhangs are larger on the blue car. The red car does not have the "double bubble" roof. The blue car roof line tapers much more towards the deck lid than the red car. The rear end of the red car is "thicker" than the blue car. The rear of the blue car is much "flatter" than the more pronounced curves of the red car that make the rear view appear more skinny.

Overall I think the red car is closer to the current silhouette of the 05-14 body style and the blue silhouette has been streamlined more.

So when i see this one, I get one reminder of how it felt in 1994 when the Fox Body went away, and the SN's came out. This is the same type of messaging from Ford "redefining muscle car" or a "new approach".

While this design isn't bad, it reminds me basically of the SN95's, rounded, less hard lines, more Euro. While they looked great when they first released, they still didn't really seem like Mustangs to me. I still have my 94 but when compared to my S197, that one feels like more of a true Mustang. But don't get me wrong, I love my 94 in a "different" way than my blue one.

I dunno, I'm just not feeling it on this new one - yet. Maybe it will grow on me over time. The front end is just, fugly.

They did the same thing with the 2010's. New body, same drivetrain. It does say the GT's Coyote is likely to get a power bump to 500hp later in the model year.
