Yeah, I think it is good and bad news. It will keep pressure on Ford to
keep improving the car. I wonder if the sky high prices of the GT500 is
putting some people off? I know that it is the case with me. IMO, Ford
needs a reasonably priced intermediate model between the GT and GT500.
Plus, with the threat of a new Challenger and Camaro coming to market
soon, maybe some buyers are waiting to have more than one choice. The
Charger may have taken away some buyers.

they screw up the new mustangs with the digital throttle, and resultant Bog,
shift problems, and also the drone from the muffler.

Ok... I now you shouldn't HAVE to spend extra money on a brand new
car... BUT... a $400 aftermarket tuner, like an SCT X-Cal2 from one of
the better shops, will VASTLY IMPROVE throttle lag and shift
problems... And for a few more dollars i'm thinking putting a couple
of resonators in would help your drone problem.... Like I said,
perhaps you shouldn't have to pay to "fix" these things but they
certainly aren't insurmountable...

Plus, the 3-valve motors in the Mustang respond very well to tweaking
the program. I seen people report 20-30 rwhp more from just a custom
tune. Not a bad return for a $300-$400 cost.

Well you know it will probably have at least a 400 hp N/A V-8 which is a
very good start. If it looks anywhere close to the one I saw at the DC
Auto Show last year it will be a home run for D-C. Plus, I can see the
marketing now... Challenger with a Hemi. Then, if they are smart, a
Hemi Cuda will appear.

How does one have a Plymouth Barracuda without a Plymouth?

Well you could start selling a DODGE Hemi Cuda. They were always the same
thing anyway...

That would be a challenger.
