Ford has way too many different models for the Mustang. Even if they don't make them personally, they are still partially liable for how ridiculous it has gotten. If they do the same thing with the Camaro...ya know I don't wanna think about it. Hopefully anything that involves customizing them will be left up to the buyer, not the seller.

And I think everyone forgot the King of the Road Mustang. Just throwin that out there.

 

They made one in '08.

That was the last year though.

 

Seeing that all the Ford guys in here cannot agree with how many Mustang versions there are is a testament to the fact that there are too many.

 

My point was that there is really only 3 models of Mustang that come off the assembly line, V6, GT, and Shelby GT500. You could maybe make an argument for the Bullitt, since it was an upgrade package applied to the Mustang GT at the factory.

Even if you try to count the Shelby GT, it came off the assembly line as a Mustang GT, and was treated to a trip out to Shelby Automobiles in Las Vegas, and then was returned to the customer. The same thing is done to the GT500 KR and Super Snake. They come off the assembly line as GT500's and then get shipped out to Shelby.

Roush, Saleen, Steeda, and all the rest purchase bulk Mustang GT's and turn them into their own brands, at their own shops, and then resell them through selected Ford Dealerships.

 

Youz GM guys are just jealous, You know why GM doesn't have alot of versions of the Camaro and Trans Am. Because there is no more camaro and trans am.. And I'll believe they are making them again when I can buy one. GM is like the horse and the carrot with this car.
All joking aside, I hope they are not out of buisness before they can build em.


Oh by the way now that my rants over...good kill OP!!!

 

NewSchool,
Thanks for the props, and I like your sig pic. Looks like your MACH is no joke

 

theyre liable for owners modifying their personal cars? ive heard it all now.

making all the different versions fills different niches; the mustang is the only car in its class it can branch out and pull in more sales.

 

The Shelby GT doesn't go out to LV to get modded and neither does the KR. Both are (were, in the GT's case) sold through dealers with incredible markup to people who are totally clueless

The GT500 Super Snake and maybe the GT-SC (S/C Shelby GT) is the only one to go to Las Vegas and back to a customer.

 

I can't beleive it, we actually agree on something.
That's what I thought.


But as Marc pointed out.......teh point still stands that there are too many.

 

I should've gone back and edited that, it didn't come out right. Ford knows that these companies make modifications to the factory cars, and they allow them to. That, IMO, makes them partially responsible for how many different editions of the Mustang have come out. If a performance shop did work on my car, the most they would do is put a sticker on the window with their company name, not call it a Wedan Trans Am for ex. Just my opinion though.

 

Does Ford have to authorize these dealership modified cars? I would think so. Personally, if I had a car company and a dealer modified the car a new car a way I didn't like, I'd be pretty pissed.

 

$$$ They see more money, they don't care.

 

But that doesn't answer my question.

 

Thanks man I appreciate it. I went through a GM phase. Had a 85 IROC, 88 Formula, and a 94 Formula. I have a soft spot in my heart for LT-1's. I had a full exhaust a lid and 150 shot on my Formula, it was a blast. Best I could go was 12.8 at 107. LOL. Weak driver mod I think.

 

eh' IDK think so........crappy track.


BTW - Sent you a reply On M1R with a link for the Cam info you asked about.

 

Thanks bro I was gonna get back there but I am having so much fun here.LOL

 

NP man....I'm out for the night....Up in 6 hours.
