For a group of mustang enthusuasists you guys don't sound to excited.

All of the articles I have read state there will be 3 engine choices 8, 6, EC4T. I for one think the car is beautiful. The eagle eyes actually turned out ok. The front of that car is boss! The rear-end is the hottest rear end I've ever seen. I like how it's a very muscular looking car while retaining what appears to be some of the finesse or class of more modern sports-type luxury cars. Whish I would have waited a couple of extra months. Imo the ball was hit way out of the park on this one. Color me a fan.

That's cool. I like certain aspects of how it looks, but don't care for the fusion front end. The sides look more like a Genesis coupe, but I like the rear end.

I really like my 3.7 and want to keep it a long time.

I think the grille doesn't look THAT much different. And, considering the Fusion grille is only a year old, maybe they took the current Mustang grille to create the Fusion grille. I really couldn't stand the 3-bar grille Ford used to have and am glad they got rid of it.
For the record, I like the new Mustang. I don't think it's as iconic as the 2005 but, none the less, really nice and a nice game changer.

Looks like a 2 door fusion. I like the engine choices, but as far as I'm concerned, they've ruined the name.

I think the new Eco-Boost will be pretty cool. However, I love our Procharged 3.7 v6! That thing is simply a beast. When we modded that car to make 450rwhp on pump gas, it took the 3.7 v6 up more than a few notches in my book. It's truly an impressive engine. Nothing to be over looked, that's for sure!

AMShane your project car pretty much solidified my decision to get in this car. Nice work and thanks very much indeed.

Just curious, how does that little red monster spend its days? Is that how you get to work?

I am interested too Shane how the motor is holding up. This car is going to last me several years so the FI road might be the way I go.

The 2011 v6 still runs strong! She has been sold to an employee of ours actually. Since we've acquired a new 2014 v6, we decided to make room in the garage, plus give a nice perk to a lucky employee.

Anyways, the car is still very much alive! She's just sleeping for the winter, since we already have snow here in a PA.
