After years and years of quietly wishing for American auto manufacturing would get off its ass, I'm seeing more and more evidence of at least one company actually doing it. The past several years to me have been like Leonard-Spinks fight. We all thought we were going to see poor old Sugar Ray get his ass handed to him by the young brash challenger Leon Spinks. Well, it didn't turn out that way. Spinks had youth on his side and that was all - Sugar Ray danced around him, played bongos on his head and put him decisively away. Hell, Sugar Ray could have gone a bunch more rounds - he looked like he was actually having fun. And Spinks looked like he was getting a colonoscopy.
Ford is Sugar Ray. The old champ has mountains of fight left in him. #boss

That's Houston all over, as if designed by a cartographer with tourettes. #raptor

though.. i guess they way they have the 5.4 crammed in there it'd take a lot of re-engineerding to do... and why mess with something that works so well already. (you're quite welcome nudge nudge ;) #raptor

There again, 550hp is probably more than enough for me. When I get one, we'll go on that drive off into the sunset. #raptor

Honey, get the big stocking down from the attic!
What drives the timing? Belt or chain, or be still my heart, gears? (Yeah, I wish). #raptor

The Stang in all its various flavors sell more thanany other Ford car there is.
why wouldnt they ride it?
and btw.. us Ford guys asked for those flavors..
and they listened.
Not everyone can afford a Shelby GT500 let alone a KR.
we like to be able to have a Mustang in our price range that fits us.
Now if these cars were sitting and rotting on dealer lots like F150s and other trucks.. you might have a point.. but down here at least you cannot even get your hands on a GT in choice colors most of the time.
they are all sold out.. and dont even think about getting a Gt500 or even a Shelby GT without being on a waiting list or paying over sticker.
So nothing wrong at all with various flavors of Mustangs.
and BTW the Foxes ate the hell out of DIEROCS during the 80s.
specially 5.0 LX notchbacks.
too many Chevy/Pontiac retards around here to listen to anything anyway.

A) You are correct, if the consumer ask for them and subsequently buy them, there is nothing wrong with them.
B) F-150s have once more surpassed Civics as the best-selling new vehicle in America.
C) Only if those Foxes were modified and the IROCs were stock.
D) Yep, that's right, I'm a GM guy that likes my Camaros and Firebirds. Your point?

Who the hell is going to buy a Rick Ross edition Mustang?

It's obviously a Bruce Springsteen Special Edition Mustang.

Then we would really see some interesting pony car wars.

I agree with that. If they could get the V6 Mustang up to around the same level as the SN95 GTs, which put out 265 hp, they would be in good shape.
@Blueovalkid formerly known as Clashtastic now with MOAR English:
Good to hear. Hopefully the will be smart about it, and maintain the availability of the GT suspension in the V6, something that GM needs to do with the Camaro.
