He's right,Ford listens to consumers wants,give us a built,blown Cobra,what do they give you?Give us a 32v in a GT,what do they give you?Give us a 500hp truck for christ sake!,what do they give you?We all race our cars in some way,thats why they break,thats why there's the aftermarket.With Ford working so closely with componies like Steeda and Tremic they see and hear first hand what we as a hole want,and so far I think they've done a damn good job of giving it to us!Hince,"give us a Viper 6 speed"once again what do you get?And price?One thing to say,what price tag do you think GM or Crysler,not to mension the import companies,would put on a fully built and blown car?I say way to go Ford and keep up the good work!

a "Bad Ass" feature would be cars that dont fall apart,
But Ford has been putting in crappy rods/pistons for years in the GT's and 96-01 cobra, but people keep buying them so I don't think much will change. If ford was going to suffer a big loss, it would have already happend, probably around 96-98.
About the colored gauges, I guess its cool, but I don't really care about any of that. I do wish Ford wasn't going in the retro direction, but oh well, if they do it right it will look good. I am more concerned about what engine's Ford and SVT are going to use, and how much the new mustang will weigh. Under 3500lbs would be nice.
I don't really think we need a bigger motor, we haven't even reached the full potential of the 4.6L 4v yet. All I know is that the cobra NEEDS to keep the forced induction motor. As soon as we go back to the high compression NA modular we are screwed.

Here's the bottom line!
America's economy is based on constant spending so American cars will continue to fall apart so people will keep spending money.
I spent more money in repairs on my stang then my first 2 cars combined and I had my stang only a year. And as for dogging my car out I never hot dog my car around town. I only race my car when I'm in a race.
I buy Mustang because I like the performance but Quality could definatley improve!

Do you own a Torch Red FRC and tremble every time you drive under I75 on Hwy 60 and look in your rearview mirror? If so you are suffering from what is known as Cobraphobia.

A multitude of cars.. both here and in australia.. Ford Australia doesnt have these issues..
Cars that fall apart ? Your tranny gave you problems of which you never addressed so what are the other problems ?
It is give and take with all car companies. Heck look at what they make the WRX's out of. It sounds like you are getting in and out of a tin can when you open / shut the doors.
GM's have god awful fit and finsh.
Dodge can't build a motor that does not puff blue smoke a few years later.
Etc., etc.

but in keeping with your own words.. we should compare the mach1 with the WRx.. both are $22-$25K cars.. well. .now anyhow.. the mach1 USED to be a $30K car.. but Ford is obviously in ALOT of financial trouble and realised people werent paying $30K for the cars once they got into the general public and people started having issues with them.
I am not implying that Ford is going to turn things around with this new light feature but it shows they are trying to be innovative.
It is not there (Fo Mo Co) fault that jackoff of a CEO (Jaques Nasser) ran the company into the ground trying to branch out into the mortgage, financial business and fucked the auto portion of the company up in the process . Now that he has been gone for a few years the recalls on their products have slowed a bunch, the new F-150 is doing well, and I am willing to bet the next gen Mustang is a huge success.
