Ford May Introduce Next-Gen Mustang Two Years Ahead of Schedule

UNKNOWN_370 · 03-05-2016, 01:21 PM

My guess the mustang is going to really strongly focus on weight reduction and modernizing it's tastefully done but seriously dated interior.

The pressure is on as the 1LE with purely a suspension upgrade can get to nearly the same performance level as the GT350 for less money...

The upcoming ZL1 will probably slaughter the competition from every possible angle including M cars, AMG's and a handful of exotics and possibly may be a true RWD GTR competitor.

It would be nice to see Camaro make a limited 500 model limited AWD ZL1 and see how it sticks up against the GTR and 911 turbo? That would be insane!!

I can't see Chevy making the camaro dramatically outperform the Vette. They've been very careful on that in the past. They've neutered a lot of cars so as to not outshine their halo car.

I'm not sure how much Ford really cares about the camaro to be honest. The camaro has always outperformed the mustang, and they always sold a lot more mustangs than camaros. I can see them giving it a power bump and maybe a tweak to the bumpers, but they usually ride with a platform for decades with only minor tweaks along the way.
