I still prefer ICE, the car looks great and has good stats, but sound is a big part of car culture to me.
Was thinking the same. That 1000 ft-lb of torque is instant. Unless there’s some kind of controller on the clutch pedal that limits the volts dumped to the motor.
Electrics aside .....that paint scheme! That car looks hot! White with big blue callipers? Why have I not seen that before?
^Ya I love it, looks like the hood and roof may be grey or gunmetal coloured, if it weren’t for the weird blue graphics it would be perfect.
Might be cool but also basically pointless, it’s not needed. Any let’s be honest here, Ford isn’t the greatest at building strong trannies, so unless the car has some kind of nanny as Don stated, that trans will be scattered pretty quickly.
C6ZR1 did that, and is still on my Mount Rushmore of OE hottness.

would like to see pics of it moving...and happy to see it's still a mustang! I read recently somewhere gm to have an electric sports car by 2023 but didn't say what - at this stage was a littles skeptical that the big three would have anything by 2025 - this looks promising...
Really!!
First of all the manuals ford contract them out to third party and heck the T-56 is a stout piece and the GT 500 ones are even better...…
The auto's have come a long way...the 6R680 will support 900 rwhp untouched and the 10 speed is showing the same......
It's great... you could probably just leave it in 4th gear and drive it like an auto if you wanted to... It's best of both worlds. Electric is the way to go, there's no doubt. I'll take monster-truck torque at 0rpm over a V8 sound, it's not like it will sound like a stupid 4 banger lol Besides you could easily virtualize the sounds and vibrations.
Cool...just can't wrap my head around no BRAAAAAAAAAAAP
Please tell me it has much more than 500 km range (like 1000 km) otherwise it will be useless. As my recent Tesla rental taught me. 500km is only 100% charge range. So the recommended 80% charge is 400km. Don't go below 10% charge so that is 350 km range. Factor in headlights, heater and A/C, Wipers, electric steering, Radio etc. Plus different driving styles and you are looking at realistic 250km range. Worse if you travel more than 60-80 kph. Lack of level 3 chargers. There you have it. An F150 that costs 75,000 and is good for a daily commute only. Makes me sad because I am sick of buying fuel. I want an electric car.
I've read the range will be under 500 on the F150
I look forward to my first DD EV someday soon but not my mustang. Sorry, just not for me but for those who do want one, it will be exciting times for sure.
Also, got my service upgraded and I'll be running a 6/3 cable to the garage to start with a 60amp sub-panel. I'm getting ready for this... Ideally we will have two electric daily drivers and a fox body or two. I can't wait, I will drive by gas stations giving them the finger each day.
^But you’re paying a higher initial cost as well as paying for hydro to charge the cars. And no doubt the hydro rates will go up as the grid is overloaded by all of the electrics. IMO an electric car only makes sense if you can charge it at work.
If you do cost/benefit or ROI calcs... electrics don't make a lot of a sense for most people. I also don't think it's the answer to "climate change" either, if that's even an issue. Real answer is to get cars off the road like 4 day work weeks, telecommuting, etc. But the real answers don't add to "revenue generators" for governments - they only solve possible climate problems.
With that said, I like electrics for the tech, not having to freeze standing around pumping gas into a car, the power/torque, etc...
It will be a matter of time when the government steps in and start charging extra fees (ie:taxes) to those with at home charging stations to make up for lost revenue from the fuel taxes. People are dreaming thinking it's going to stay at $4-5 to charge up their car, as more EV's hit the roads.
