Roush or Saleen?

I hope those side scoops are functional. Otherwise they look like drag devices.
 
People who buy Roush are usually doing so for a name of race success and performance...perhaps Ford should let Penske have this now :sly:. It'd work even better.

Honestly, the only RTR Mustang i care about is this :

Though i'd remove those green colors...

So would some of the people on the questionable mod thread that put the car their because of the green.
 
I personally think the green gives it character. I love that specific shade of green too.
 
Interested to see the RTR creation. Back when I was in the market for a 5.0, I know they were the first place I planned on buying from for parts. Always liked the subtle exterior changes they created.

My speculation for potential UK Mustang pricing:

2.3 Ecoboost: £28-30,000
5.0 GT: £37-40,000

I'm also fairly certain the Ecoboost will be the strongest seller in Britain.
 
Can't see enough people wanting a muscle car in Britain without a V8, personally. If you're a Brit and not into muscle for the V8 and the genre itself, why are you into muscle at all?

Europe's had turbocharging for the best part of 40 years.

Only reason i can think is that you can tell other people, you own Mustang.

Have to do it the hard way then...import one in. :lol: I've never fully understood what is wrong with Ford not offering it as an option.

Britian is a getting the V8, it's a 5.0 GT. They are not getting the V6 as standard( it will not be offered at all over seas), it will be ecoboost as standard and you van upgrade to the 5.0 V8 GT model.

Just as a question, how far was that off the Vauxhall VXR8 from a few years back? I seem to remember that car being lauded as a "value" compared to a lot of other vehicles out there, would it seem fair to assume Ford would do the same with the Mustang?
 
I just noticed Ford X-Plan discount site is now showing the '15 Mustang.
 
Tough to call the best seller in Australia. The F6 had its fans as well as the XR8 & GT. now, with younger Australian drivers being able to drive turbos (with automatics only) on learner plates, the pricing will have to be right. I see a good amount of WRX autos with P's.

And if all you have to do is raise boost for $500-$1000, the 2.3 may be the way to go(I prefer the V8 though).

From what i can find, it was £45k.

Whether that's value or not, i'm not sure. I've never seen one on the road. You used to see a few Monaros like you guys used to get as Pontiac GTO's, but not these later 4-doors. The only figures i can find say only 318 have been registered in total. So 'value' doesn't really come into it.

The M5 of the time was £72k and the Jaguar XFR was £63k (i imagine the AMG E-class would have been similar price to the M5) So for a similar sized and powered car, the VXR8 undercut them by a fair bit. But as i said, the £ per bhp ratio wasn't enough to tempt potential buyers out of their premium brands.

Don't know whether the Mustang will suffer the same fate or not. 'Mustang' means more to a European than 'Monaro' or 'Commadore' does, but it still a left-field choice.
 
These just popped up on my FB feed.

I don't even know what to make of it :lol:

Doesn't really look that bad though.
