Google works wonders. Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing.

I can't believe I'm actually excited about a ford. I'm most likely going to buy one if the rumors are accurate. I drove one of the current GT's for a weekend, very nice car, I liked almost everything about it... except the motor/power. Hopefully ford doesn't fail on this one.

Exactly...I love the current Stang GT and the last Stang GT...except the power. Other than the power the cars are a real hoot to drive.

Thats exactly the attraction for me... Not to mention I think it will be better looking.

I'm also hoping they stick with a solid rear axle.

Looks like we gots us a bit of a stand off here. I thought CAFE was supposed to end the horsepower war? Camaro, Challenger, and Mustang...
Wish I had the money for any one of them!!!

I agree completely. The new Camaro is marginal looking at best. Retro went out half a decade ago when the car was originally designed

So, pros for the Mustang: Roughly the same horsepower, MUCH lighter, surely will be cheaper, sounds better, could potentially look better...faster, cheaper, better looking...and NOT 5 years too late! SRA would be icing on the cake. SRA > IRS for a muscle car. Who the hell buys a muscle car for twisties? Wow, I can't believe I'm saying this but go Ford! No wonder GM's shares are trading at a 50 year low. Who runs this company anyway?

This could definitely be my next car. Weight means something to me.

So are Ford's...$2.00 a share in case you missed it.
I own large chunks of both so I of course am not happy about it but please don't single out only GM, every carmaker's shares got a serious haircut over the past 8 months.
Buy now before they go back up.

Is that an all glass roof?

Was thinking the same thing. That could add some weight, me thinks.

You can see by the many spy shots, it's not a glass roof.

I like this new Mustang, they seem to have addressed one of my concerns with the last one: the look of rear end. I'll have to see a production model in person to pass final judgment though.
