Automotive News Discussion

I still can't decide whether or not I truly like this design yet....I keep looking at photos here and there but....... I don't know.... haven't reached full pudge for this new design yet


...sorry Matt

Agreed.

When I first saw official Ford pics I was underwhelmed. Folks who work within Ford Design have been quoted by the automotive press as saying that they "held back" a little on the cars exterior as they didn't want the car to be viewed as "too aggressive" in European and Asian markets. :roll:

I had hopes that Ford would scale the cars dimensions back and drop significant weight to align the S550 cars with Fox era ('79-'93) numbers or at least the SN-95/Fox-4 ('94-'04) chassis to get back in the 100" wheelbase ballpark and a curb weight of around 3,200lbs-3,300lbs. The current car (2014 MY) is just too large. Ever since the S197 came out in '05 I've always thought that car would have been so much better if it was 7/8ths scale of its actual size.

I guess I'll reserve final judgement until the new GT500/GT350/SVT Cobra or whatever they're gonna call the top dog car is unveiled.

Needs moar 5.0TT.

FTFY :twisted:
