I was on the team(during Covid) that extended the Wheel base 9”.
I think it looks great.
I’m biased of course.😉

When Shelby died my friend had a PO for 50 of the Code Red Mustangs he designed and built. He built the first 2 in chatsworth at his shop, I was there and they were awesome. When he changed the boost to 20 pounds it put out 2500 HP. Frikking machine. I go by Toms shop on a regular basis, he makes some awesome stuff.

Looks like a sort of souped up Tesla Model 3.

I test drove a Mach-E (electric Mustang) in 2022. For a car named "Mustang" it looked horrible: like a soccer mom mobile. But the acceleration and low center of gravity curve handling was very impressive.

IMHO, Ford shouldn't have marketed it with the crossover shape. Nor should they have presented it like it saves mother 'erf from our carbon sins or whatever. They should have presented it like a second option of a Mustang sports car if you want the zippy acceleration of an EV (zippier than the gas version).

I saw a powder blue one in Omaha the other day. Didn’t catch Shelby on it but I was like, what the hey.

They should have called it the Escape Lightning, Galaxie, Falcon XE or something like that.

I don’t think GM is even dumb enough to make a 4-door/crossover/SUV thing and brand it as a Corvette.

As long as it’s a low-slung, sleek, fast 2-seater that looks good, they can put whatever drivetrain in it they want and people would still accept it as a Corvette.

Nice read and spot on. I just wish he’d used “retarded” as may times as “gay” in the article. I love being able to say both those words again. ;)

They need to add a fake exhaust smell too. I’ve always liked the smell of a slightly rich V8 loping at idle.

Not as bad as the Pinto engine powered mustangs of the mid 70’s.
It’s still seems very stupid to waste the mustang badge on it though.

The crappiest Mustangs were around 1979, when the Capri was basically the same model.

Seems about right for a Mustang.

I think they are putting in fake exhaust sounds so that pedestrians (especially blind ones, or distracted or young people, or animals) can hear the car approaching. Otherwise ev’s are pretty quiet.

‘74 Mustang II. Might as well drive a VW bug with flower decals.
