17 seconds for a v6 mustang 0-60. nice.
I'm wondering why we're limiting ourselves to discussion about the 2015 mustang. let's see some speculation on the 2065 mustang! |

Honestly, I dunno how I feel about a turbo 4 Mustang. I think most people would still go v6 (N/A or Turbo) due to the car's large size. 3400lbs isn't too heavy for a larger 4 like a 2.5L. But as a 4 banger enthusiast I would prefer a smaller, lightweight RWD compact over a middle weight Mustang.
Notice that I didn't say cheaper. I don't believe a smaller car with a turbo 4 would be any cheaper than a v6 Mustang. |

You could in 1966; Ford built a few just to try it out. Actually you couldn't, because after realizing how awesome they were someone figured the option would cost $500 and they were crushed.

I'm of the opinion if a front mounted RWD vehicle can be built as an AWD, it's either a crappy RWD design or it's a truck chassis. The chassis should be AWD from the beginning or forget it. |

Supposedly, the 2013 GT is also getting a lot of the GT500's styling cues.

I think that a Mustang should be RWD only. While I don't have the same fanatic zeals as the Subaru AWD nazis, it will compromise the car too much and make the AWD option heavy along with expensive especially to handle the V8's power.

there you AWD nutswingers go again. It's great in a Subaru but it will always have limited appeal, and in a Mustang it makes no sense from a business and marketing perspective.

AWD has no business in the Mustang, that makes as much sense as a RWD Subie

You want to see a bastardized conversion? Take a peek at the Evo's FWD-based setup. The center diff is actually in front of the front diff . Yet it performs quite well... |

People should be banned or at least put in time out for comments like this.........
It is a freaking Mustang; AWD has no place there. It is RWD driving dynamics, tail-out hooliganism, burnouts, and American muscle. If you want AWD, buy something else, like maybe an STi or something. For crying out loud.......... |

'2015 Ford Mustang: What to Expect', huh?
A bunch of washed up blue-haired baby boomers re-living their youth by trying to make up for the fact that they drove VW Beetles in high-school while lusting for a Mustang. But, now, they can pound gears as they choke down Viagra, Enzyte, and Redbull on their way to the doctors office to get their prostate checked. PS - I have a Mustang, I'm not a baby boomer, and I actually ****ing bought one when I was 18 so I have no reason to re-live my youth. |

The 2012 is certainly out - I drove a GT last weekend with 10k miles on it
