That says it all....

I love the sound of the V8 engine so much and as a getting to be old guy would buy a V8 Mustang 10 years from now. But I am sure the intoxicating feel of the instant torque and fast acceleration from the Electric motor would make up for some of that and I would of course buy the electric. Maybe it will be available with fake V8 sound for us old guys.

Picture Mustang in 10 years time, a fully electric sports car with piped sound and shake of a V8 muscle car but the challenge is to take driver inputs and imitate anything mechanical from the past...from clutch dump launches to pauses between manual gear shifts or the launch and shift of a powerglide to 10-speed automatc....even changing from AWD to RWD to get those snaking tram track power launches....

FCA being ahead of the curve? the good news is global warming should be in full retreat soon, what with hell freezing over and all.

Fascinating read. Someplace, somewhere, I have a letter from Ken Miles. Back when I was a kid, I wrote Shelby American, and asked for a picture of a Cobra. He sent me a picture along with a brief letter. I'm sure I still have it.

I think both Ford and GM recognize that Mustang and Camaro have run their course on ICE platforms and the next iteration involves electrification which is a major shift. Mustang will prove this EXTREMELY well with their V8 Hybrid, alongside the Mach-E which has more torque than the Mustang GT today. If they don't make this transition, they will become anachronisms for retirees and I know Ford won't let that happen. The future of performance is all electric and I know Ford is going to make sure Mustang isn't rendered obsolete. We are approaching that point really quickly today already, Model 3 already smokes a Mustang GT. An entire generation is growing up not even thinking about Mustang because they think it's old school muscle car fake-fast (It looks and sounds fast, but isn't that fast). Camaro is just feeling this effect more quickly. There is no path toward growth without significant modernization.

Hmmm....interesting. I wonder if it'll have a separate order guide..... I couldn't help myself...

Serious player? Seriously?
