With the 2010 Mustang on the horizon, it got me thinking. The new car will still use the S197 chassis, so it will still be an S197. However, the SN95 became a New Edge with the body change, even though they share the same chassis. Who knows what the 2010 model will be called. S197 may still be a good designation. IMO, we won't need to create a new section for them at MF - just roll them into this one.

Anyway. Everyone recognizes the term S197, but not everybody SAYS it the same way. I've heard it said two ways, which are the first two options in this poll. The third choice was just thrown out there.

So how do you pronounce "S197" ???

I've heard and used "S one nine seven", but "ninety seven" can just simply roll off the tongue quite easily.

If people say S one hundred ninety seven, then they are just nerds.

I say "S CXCVII"; But I'm old school like that.

Wow, that would be, like REALLY old... Did you happen to know my cousin, Ceaser?

Haha that IS old school! Senectus insanabilis morbus est right?

I say "S one ninety seven" so I guess I am a nerd

As for making a new section or not, it's going to look like a whole different car, so I think it would be awkward to lump both cars into one section. Just like if the New Edge had the same platform, I would hate to have to look at those things all day long when I really wanted to read about MY car on the forums. I'm sure the 2010 guys won't want to be reading about our cars.
