Had to come in here for a break. Can't believe there is a thread with a bunch going OMG what do we WHEN the Mustang comes out with 650 HP next year

And this is a thread speculating that since there is a rumor that GM is North of 570 HP that this means they are really going to be over 600?????

Wow. First, I can't believe it. Second, doesn't anyone understand Ford does not have a Corvette and GM will not chase the Mustang into Corvette territory?

And IF the Mustang were to go well over 600 HP it still probably wouldn't keep up with a Z06 but would likely cost as much?

Ok, I feel better now.

Sounds like they had you on the ropes. Good thing the bell rang.

*radz28* · 07-13-2011, 07:15 PM

I wonder if Ford IS really trying to chase 'Vette with their Pony. I don't blame GM's position, but I find it laughable if they want to compete with the likes of ZR1.

I don't see a problem with hoping for 600 horsepower

I don't know if it's their last hurrah or if they plan on turning the Mustang into a supercar or coming out with a GT replacement. But if you can build 1,000 Mustangs with 650 HP and a $75,000 or higher price tag AND make piles of money then why not. But I don't think Ford will just be adding 100 HP to the GT500 and selling it for the same price..................if the rumor is remotely true. It will command premium dollars. If Ford is doing this, it isn't to battle the ZL1, at least I don't think so. And the weight added to accomodate 650 HP would push the GT500 or 600 much closer to 4,000 pounds.

So I guess I'm guessing at this point what their point would be with such a car. But I also don't see GM putting an LS9 into the Camaro as some kind of answer to this rumored car either. The LS9 is what makes the ZR1 worth 6 figures.................that and carbon ceramic brakes.

I hope that GM does get some big numbers for the ZL1. But I think the guys wanting that are thinking Camaro 1st, GM 2nd. GM has to consider the customer who asks why a ZR1 was worth $120,000 if someone else can get a Camaro that has only a few HP less for half the price?

For performance, Mustang is King at FoMoCo. For GM it's the Corvette, and it will take more than a 650 HP Mustang to change that.

There, that probably pi$$ed off a few people. Sorry about that. I truly am.

And there is no problem in hoping for 600 HP....................................It could happen.
