You don't get that "700HP" GT for 40K unless you strap on that supercharger to a base GT. Add that supercharger to a Mustang GT with all the trim/features/performance of a "50K SS" and that GT will cost you 60K plus. Did you know that you can also buy an SS for mid 30s??

But that said, the cars have more content standard. Maybe that is a bad thing, but it is true. A 2015 1SS and a 2016 1SS gets you a fair amount of better options including RS package features, 8" touchscreen, 8" drivers information screen, and one or two other things I can't think of. When the 2015 is so equipped, that closes the gap by a few grand at least, but still, its was a bit much. But now Ford has caught up in price when the content is equal....but you can still find GTs for cheaper.

Fo sho, guys are buying used 5.0 GTs, upgrading some internals, and then bolting on a Procharger. Boom, big HP in a lightweight car and lots of fun. I get it! Some tuning shops, using BMR goodies, do nothing but.

-Sizeable HP bump across all models to regain lead -1le package standard -Lower the beltline a little. -A couple more inches leg and headroom in the back -some minor tweaks to the inside and trunk opening. I wouldn't suggest any major departure from the 6th gen styling except address the unpopular 2019 front syling. IMO, the 6th gen is the best looking of the big three by far and still have a lot of life in terms of styling. Quote:

Anybody who pays more than 40k for a Mustang GT PP2 needs to have their heads checked. I would feel uneasy paying even that for it. |

The 6th gen is a great car, but the design or lack of distinction from a 5th gen holds it back.
Average joe can’t distinguish it , too few color choices, too high a price, the backseat is useless and the belt line is so high, cant put your arm on it! Still looking at a 1le though , what a car for the money ! |

GM needs a major departure from 6th Gen...they already tried that going from Gen 5 to 6 and it didn't work when people said don't change it. So It looks like a Gen 5.5 to most consumers and that turned out to be a mistake.

The SS won't be for 'most people', that was my point of splitting it up into two separate design / configurations. The SS would be aimed at the enthusiast crowd. You want the guy who is looking at the gt350 or Charger 392 to think twice. Quote:
I'll disagree about the 6th gen. It's a sexier 5th gen. |

My opinion and I am sure lots of people are going to jump on me but the issue is the style of the Gen6. The nose looks like the Toyota Camry, and that is a disaster if you are trying to make a muscle car.
That combined with the overinflated price, and Chevy not having an affordable entry level platform to compete doomed the Gen6. Hopefully 7 will be better....... |

The 2019 Camaro is even farther away from the look of the Camry. That said, I think the new Camry, at least from the side and the rear, is pretty nice looking. Its aggressive, especially with the black roof option. You can't go much more aggressive than that without looking ricer.

I think the Camry looks more like the 2019 than the 2016-2018.
