7th Gen S650 2024 Mustang

[FishOnOne]

For you gear heads. Ford released their next gen Mustang and it's good to see pure muscle car DNA featured with this new platform.

5.0L V8 putting out ~500HP
10 speed auto transmission
6 speed Tremec manual transmission
Convertible option

Looks like Camaro may go away in the future and Dodge is threatening to make their muscle car EV or in line 6, so it's good to see Ford investing in the Mustang platform to keep it a good looking fun to drive car and will sell everyone they can build.

The wakeup call has been issued!

What do they have to do with RVing.

I don't know if they have anything to do with RVing but you have to feed and insure a motor home or tow vehicle. By your logic who needs a motorhome or TT when they can sleep in a tent?

How many times can you poop in a Mustang before you have to empty it. Your logic is illogical. Think I am going take a nap now.

Well, that should keep the Mustangs crashing into curbs and crowds at car meets videos flowing on the ole Insta and Utoob!

At both 45 and 70 mph, those horses are a lot easier to feed than an original Mustang...

Yup. Power can be economical now.
He’s a while since I road tripped the SRT. Round trip seattle to Portland yesterday. 1 tank of gas. 22.7mpg. Speed limit or above whenever possible and trip down early AM was mostly 90mph +/- from Lakewood to Vancouver. And I put in cheap 87 gas to boot!
They are very miserly horses.

What does an electric Semi have to do with RVing? I will wager you this. There are a whole lot more Mustang's on the road towing something than Tesla Semi's.

Aaaah. Just wondering if there was a relevance to Tow Vehicles that I'd missed. Really enjoyed my Fox bodied 5.0 but these new ones should be much nicer!

[NamMedevac_70]

I notice it is another nice gasser but not allowed in CA after 2023. P.S. don't tell the folks.

Still Proud member of the 300 million gasser club.

Good question; my 2+2 GT is 2 years older.

[1320Fastback]

Wonder if it will still run when it is 54 years old like mine.

No thanks, I’ll stick with my 1st gen Mustang; I prefer the looks of the original over the new ones.
