Just not impressed with this car at all. I really had high hopes that there would major improvements after my dissapointment with my 12 GT. IMO the looks of the car are not good at all, it just looks odd and doesn't flow well. Now there is a dyno test floating around showing only 355-hp, 330'ish tq. I understand this is only a single test but if this turns out to be the norm the car actually lost rw power and still isn't up to the LS3 power levels after 4+ years.

I appreciate and support all the American brands but I prefer and buy only GM. I stick to my convictions and will not deviate from them if it goes against my principles of what I believe in.

I'm not a fan of the mustangs new look but I'm not the target audience either but I do like a good looking car or truck regardless of who makes it.
1. No it doesnt because of how much I like Chevrolet Camaro's and Corvette's but that still doesnt make it right that GM didnt pay all the money back.

2. Oh yes I am certain about what I am saying or I wouldnt have said it.

3. And yes I own a 2014 SS and ive owned many Chevrolet's and Ford's for that matter.

4. Im not a fanboy of either brand, I like American Muscle, period.

Standard base wheel size for the the new mustang is 18 in. Ford probably kept it this way to keep it at a certain price point. You then have one additional 18 inch wheel option, then after that it steps up to 19 inch for the performance package wheels, with one final 20 inch option which looks killer.

i am a fan of how these cars look, aside from a few things. one being the wheels, not a fan at all. cant wait to see these things rolling on some nice D2 Forged 5 star wheels or something along those lines. the second being the gas filler door right on that body crease. other than that, i am a fan for sure.

the vertical lines on the hood near the vents look interesting(if not functional)..
..and why is that black one(side shot) sitting so low on the rears?..must be the mach 'hurricane' sound system upgrade.

Yep, the car looks a LOT better with the performance package wheels. The 18 inch wheels look like they belong on an econobox or something.

I've noticed wheels on most cars really set off the tone. This one is no different.

I can't tell people what they see, bc as I always say when looks come up, it is totally subjective. In my eyes, I still see mustang instantly when I look at it. I think ford nailed the design in MY eyes.

And Competition Orange is still the sexiest color ever made.

Anyone else weirded out by the amount of buttons on the steering wheel? 16 is a bit much.
