What a great looking car (pics at NZ show, below)!
Young fella and I have been going nuts over the Ken Block Gymkhana 7 black Mustang custom, and these new ones just look so right! Everything is falling into line for Ford America...

Been in Seattle for the week for work. Came out of Microsoft and this mustang was parked next to our bag of **** rental. Surprised and happy how small it is. No bigger than the Cruz. I get better acquainted in a few hours, picking up a mustang in Hawaii.

Looks like they've wound the power back a bit on the Aus V8 Models http://www.ford.com.au/cars/new-must...s/spec-options

I wonder if it can be fixed with a simple $850 X4 Flash Tune, or if they have had to strangle it with a "politically correct" restrictive exhaust system to comply with our equally restrictive Nanny State wingers. Although, the US Mustang is 324.5 Kw (435 Hp) even in California, which would make our standards even more ridiculous if that were the sole reason for the loss of performance. http://www.motoring.com.au/news/2014...+buyers+dudded Last edited by stevefreestyle; 09-12-2014 at 10:35 AM. |

A lot of Mustang GT buyers (on this forum anyway) will likely be replacing the exhaust and tuning the car regardless. That will free up the missing power and then some.

I'd say it has more to do with the exhaust regulations we have here compared to the US.
We're far too restrictive. Over there they sound so much better and louder.

Apparently it all comes down to how they rate the power, as others have said. http://www.caradvice.com.au/324004/f...for-australia/

As if anyone buying a V8 Mustang gives a **** about standard power!
I think everyone will do some mods for power. Full exhaust / blower kit / turbo kit ect ect. Joys of the worldly Mustang

What I suspect is we're getting the Euro spec, with quieter exhaust that drops power to 413hp/308kw DIN.
When the Euro spec gets here its rated to SAE where power drops again to 406hp/303kw

Honestly I hope they price it sharp to get into the entry level market.
Think of it has a way to get people to upgrade to the V8 come the next purchase.
