2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

Although the release for the 2015 Mustang is set for this Thursday. I few photos have been leaked. The photos are not the best, but here are two that I have found. The leak came from a member from the svtperformance.com forums. He posted photos from a autoweek magazine he received yesterday. It has made national news. Looks like someone's head will roll. Ford was very tight lipped on the release of the new Mustang. Here is the link to the forum page.

I'm wondering how it will look as a Cobra Jet. I don't know when Ford Racing will be releasing info on the 2015 CJ, but I do no its in the works.

Interesting note on the new Mustang, it has aluminum fenders.

Kind a makes me want a green one.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

well the old new look is going fast( GONE ) .the 05 was the best looking one to me as it did have the old look a lot better than the next years coming .Hope they don't change the Challenger this much .. The Camaro still needs tweaking too......jmo

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

Hope it sells well for Ford.

I'm reserving judgement until I see it in person to see the proportions.

Bye Bye to the ol' reliable solid axle tho.

Right now a 2014 is looking mighty fine.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

I'll be picking one up when they hit the used car market. I don't think I'll be able to convince my wife that I "need" to have one as a street car and build/buy another Cobra Jet. So we'll need to make that choice ;).

Looking forward to seeing the whole car in person.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

I could see myself in one ..........

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

Should make an exceptionally clean looking race car....and Danny, your JMO goes for a lot of folks, I just can't get to use to the looks of the Camaro, except Jack's of course...LOL.

Good one Larry, you know Sub Lime is the only shade of green you would drive.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

Was wondering how long it would take them to "F" it up. Looks too Jappy for me. But that's just me.Hope they sell the crap out of em.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

I'll reserve judgement until I see it in person...but I REALLY don't like the IRS. Hopefully there is a solid axle option or it will be available through Ford motorsports.

Very relieved to see it's not a cut/paste of the EVO concept. (I can't tell in pictures but it doesn't look to be) That thing was hideous! (very, VERY jap looking)

Forgot to add, yes I want ford to sell more than they can make!

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

I'm with you Jeff. I think they messed it up. I liked the previous version.
Might be a bit more slippery.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

Forwarded the link to a girl who just bought a 2014. She prefered the earlier years flat/symmetrical tail lights to her "tweaked" rounded/tapered ones but is glad she didn't wait for this 2015 model. She said Mustang sales have been falling every year, that Camaro's are way ahead. True?

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

Remember this is 2013 not 1969.Also the concerning the Jappy look if I'm not mistaken a lot of the designers for the japanese companies are Americans.If you put a bowtie emblem on a dinosauer turd it would sell good.Just the way the world is.Enough musings for now.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

I don't know how any of them are selling. Seems like I see more newer Camaros around here.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

This is the 6th Generation under the D2C Ford Platform which I think it shares many components with the Lincoln Division. Ford is working on a new platform for 2017 and maybe 2018 all aluminum construction I was told by someone close to the project and he believe that their competition will be the Hyundai Genesis which if you look at the sport model for 2014 you can see a carbon copy of the rear Mustang fascia. Ford is looking at the Mustang to go on a diet of more than 1900lbs in the next 5yrs, so the exotic materials will be rearing their ugly heads again... Maybe that will be good for racing. Ed how much did a 64 model weigh compare to the 2013 Mustang. Can someone answer what happened to the Mustang that every young blood Fox chassis generation loved and could afford. My daughter just bought a nearly New Convertible(Demo) and the new sticker price was nearly the price of most Banana Republic gross National Dept. Claude

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

I think if anything, the current 5.0 GT is the closest thing there has been to the original 5.0 days. I bought mine just about as soon as they were available. It was a $28k car. That car has run 10.40s and still has a 100% untouched OEM longblock in it at 3400 lbs. I've done absolutely nothing to the trans except change the converter. Let me be clear, no nitrous/blower/turbo either. You can't even begin to match this kind of performance with a Camaro or Challenger without spending much much more. Yes you can run the price way up on a Mustang with options, but they don't have to be that way. I feel the current car is the best Mustang ever made, and Ford has a tall order measuring up to it with a new one.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

A little off topic so please forgive me but I wanted to answer Kdanner, a 1984 Mustang sold in 1984 U.S. price for $6.750 approximately weighed 2530lbs and some were bought for less than $5,500 and but the lowest option model that weighed 2350lbs even with inflation you should be looking at $11.656. far from the $28k car you bought. They've optioned them to death. This is a reason young men are not the biggest buyer of Mustangs it's the women who have been the biggest consumers of over expensive cars.(Please this isn't a women versus men)

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

At 2530lbs that was what a 2.3L car with 88hp? I just don't see how that compares with the current car well at all. Even the base V6 is 305hp now. I know people who have bought those new in the $18k range. They'll run in the 12s with very minimal work.

Here are some better photos of the 2015 Mustang. I think it will make a cool looking race car.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

To many sharp edges for me. Just like the Camaro. Maybe the designers had something to do with the B-2. I'll have to stick with the Challenger. I am putting a 4Cam in a forty ford so I'm not anti-ford. Even have a 31 Ford but it has one of those belly-button SBCs.

2015 Mustang vert. looks good too.....

Since the reintroduction of the 2010 Camaro sales wars has gone back and forth every month.
The Mustang outsold the Camaro last month. 5376 to 5068(2757 for the challenger)
The Camaro holds the lead for 2013 at 75,552 to 71,459 (48,590 for the challenger)
The Mustang still holds the lead for total# Sold by a large margin.

I've already informed the wife that we will be making another spot in the garage for this car. Now wether it's going to be for the SVT version or the FRPP Cobra Jet version will be the only debate we have lol.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

I wonder if the IRS can be removed and a SRA put under it more easily than the Challengers and Camaros. Would be great if you could swap it out similar to the 03/04 Cobra IRS.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

Wow !

I have a 95 GT and the trunk lid opening seems tiny.

After looking at the pic, that 2015 trunk lid opening looks to be really small.

Re: 2015 Mustang photo's leaked
 

It won't take long for an aftermarket company to have a 8.8 or 9 inch SRA "kit" for it I'm sure.

However, since the car was never designed for a SRA, I would imagine it will not be nearly as easy as the Terminator's swap.

If it was playing "Sounds of the Drags" tapes that's OK.

This thread was good enough to be in the main forum when it was first posted, now it's lounge material? Why wasn't it posted in the lounge to start with? LOL
