Post 2015 Mustang ordering is close. Guide released

Might be a good alternative to some of the uninspired (and frankly overpriced) models we're seeing from Munich.

What kind of performance numbers will the GT be putting out? Really looking forward to the 350 though.

Wait 2 years, get one for half price. American cars depreciate like rocks.

Now that is finally has IRS, the GT is looking like a good cheap track car option in the future.

Excited to drive one, love trying out new cars. On the other hand, it has looks only a mother could love. Almost like they were going to change from the retro-new-classic looks and then just gave up half way through. Atrocious.

The mini GP comes standard with their own GP designed wheels.

That's strange. My M Sport F30 335i sold for more than what I owed on it (lease). That's how I got out of early to get into the C63. Of course, there are a multitude of factors that could've accounted for that pleasant surprise.

I joined Mustang6G a few months back and am so excited. Can't wait to get a PP 5.0 with a good ol' 6MT. No more open diffs for me.

The question now is what to get for color combos. Guard is my go-to, but I'm afraid that it'll be the Space Grey of S550 colors, basically way too common. DIB looks good, and so does Race Red and Ingot Silver. For someone that hates silver on most cars, I think that the deeply sculpted panels on the S550 really suit the color.

I wish we had more info on the redline interior. I can't deal with the drab all black look, nor am I sold on the idea of a saddle/black combo.

We're still waiting. Everyone hoped that they would give some concrete info months ago, but they're supposedly releasing specs very soon. A rep stated that we'd be getting information in the next 3-4 weeks... about 3-4 weeks ago.

I couldn't disagree more about the looks. I think it looks fan-freakin-tastic. The retro shtick is played out and make the S197 look extremely dated by comparison. Here's a picture of the ('05-'09) S197 next to the new S550. Bear in mind that the perspective and focal distortion of the lens might be adding to the effect.

Those sculpted flanks. That fastback roofline. Perfect RWD proportions.

Can't get over this combo myself. The fact BMW didn't offer a similar color for the M4 is absurd.
