If you could add one feature to the next generation mustang what would it be?

**SpectorV** · 06-20-2006, 12:21 PM

By feature I do not mean a total redesign, I simply mean a feature that the current or previous mustang had/dont have that you would like to see. Examples of this would be.

Sunroof
HID lights
Folding Mirrors
Performance Package Group
Navigation system
Other things like this

n8r · 06-20-2006, 12:36 PM

They should do T-tops again!!

**Herbstang** · 06-20-2006, 12:46 PM

T-Tops Hell Ya !!
Vortech or Paxton performance packages

WhiteStang99 · 06-20-2006, 01:06 PM

Performance Package I think wins for me.

I also thought about many more appearance packages too.

**SpectorV** · 06-20-2006, 01:14 PM

there wont be a blower on the regular cars lol.... at least pick something possible.

timpryor · 06-20-2006, 01:18 PM

I vote for T-Tops as well.

Ford if you have any common sense you will do this.

**Herbstang** · 06-20-2006, 01:32 PM

Why'd you have to ruin my dream Spector

T-Tops then

**bbunt302** · 06-20-2006, 04:53 PM

Hmm... let's see... I dunno... maybe... a DIET!

At least 200 pounds off the GT. C'mon Ford, stop being little bitches.

SilentNoise · 06-21-2006, 08:30 AM

T-tops are cool, but we've never seen a targa top Mustang from the factory.
I think that if they do one, it would be pretty simple to do the other.

Bane- · 06-21-2006, 09:54 AM

OHV motor

I mean, OHC works great if its a 4cyl honda that wants to rev to 8-9k but not for something like this that you would want gobs of low end up off idle torque, and spinning it to 6k or whatever still shouldnt be to big of a problem...but I doubt ford would put decent parts in it to do that.

I say a new body 400 lbs lighter than the factory one. Once the gas prices start increasing again and this whole retro look fad goes away the mustang will plummet in sales because it is to big, heavy and rather chunky looking!!!

Bane- · 06-21-2006, 12:48 PM

^ good, then I could get historic/collector tags easier

fine by me, I like the LSx series motors, But I think my next car if I was to sell my fox would be a 3rd gen trans am. Or even a 78-80ish ones look good to me.

Pony Ride · 06-21-2006, 02:51 PM

The new Mustang HAS to be lighter than the current model. They can definitely do this, but the low cost entry level Mustang may not be so low cost if they use advanced composite materials like they should. Then they should offer a different set or combinations of performance and appearance packages for both V6 and GT models. I think the aftermarket is taking away from a lot of revenue Ford could have if they just offered what most people wanted from the factory. Ford's stock product offerings are way too conservative for the type of car they want to market in the Mustang. Wake up, Ford!

For example:
Upgraded suspension packages
Different tunes for your liking, or even offer a tuner with the car.
Supercharger in all models/engines as an option.
"Street" body kits (they do it for Focus, why not Mustang?)
Intake/exhaust upgrade package.

SilentNoise · 06-22-2006, 07:25 AM

I highly doubt you'll see an auto maker supplying a tuner with any car. Why? Because too many people would end up fucking things up.

An optional supercharger is feaseable, but that's one of the benefits to buying a Cobra.... same with upgraded suspension and exhaust packages - although IMO they should offer things like the aftermarket Ford springs so that Mustang buyers can get rid of the 4x4 look before it even leaves the showroom floor.

Additional body kits are another feaseable, but the reason they offer them for the Focus' is because they're part of the tuner market and you see aftermarket body kits on tuner cars much more often than that of the V8 performance market.

**SpectorV** · 06-22-2006, 10:02 AM

I can see ford applying a performance package set, couple three different options. I could also see ford doing some wheel/tire options, but I dont see them doing a body kit upgrade as thats to much into the import scene and as you know they want to keep the mustang name pure so dont expect to see any body kits... maybe an appearance package that does a bit (nothing major though)

Nearly everyone buys the car and never touches it so these sorts of items would not be purchased very much probably~

DarkShadow · 06-22-2006, 03:00 PM

I would like to see and interior luxery package.

Consisting of the following:

MUCH more adjustable seats.
A sunroof, or really even a moon roof. Of course I would prefer T-tops but...
Leather with fancy stitching.
Very nice floor matts.
35% tint.
Heated AND cooled seats.
Billet accents.
Something similar to the aluminum package, but maybe something else.
The package they had for the dash light adjustability, but place a few more locations to change throughout the entire interior and make them all connected to the change "doohickey".
And the feature some of the newer GM's have, where you set a mirror, seat, pedal, and wheel setting and it saves it, and all you have to do is put your key to which this is programed and it automatically sets it the way you have programed. THis can hold several settings so that other drivers do not have to readjust everything.

jimmy_beaner · 06-22-2006, 03:30 PM

a lot of really cool ideas... of course, I doubt they'll do ANY of them

Ford: always finding a way to disappoint

bullitt482 · 06-26-2006, 04:12 PM

They should offer a weight loss program for the new stangs. If not, atleast have some sort of slimfast fuel additive. The vette'sare going down in weight and size a( the C6 vette has about a 3 inch smaller wheelbase than its predecessor) and the mustang is going up???? WTF?

Finding Other Reasons to Disasppoint

**SpectorV** · 06-26-2006, 04:42 PM

well they try not to pass on to much to the consumer so they can keep the gt "affordable" if you call 30k affordable....

but... if they would do packages then you could choose what you wanted and that would be your choice to pay. Just dont make them super expensive unless you get something nice out of it.

97Stallion · 03:22 AM

T-tops? That'll never happen, I hope, and that's more of a GM theme, I think. It makes me think of mullets and the 80s too much. I believe the mustang II tried the t-tops and maybe some other years, but I think um, NO! A sun/moon roof is a way better option. Also a better suspension would be nicer. Lower the thing down about an ich atleast and go back to the design were ALL the mustangs were "Max wired equipped" Meaning no matter what you style Mustang you had, you had everything right there waiting just to be hooked up.

But finally overall I would like to see a REAL muscle car engine in the new Mustang. Put a 351W in that bad boy with todays technology and I would almost guaruntee they would flock off the parking lots.

**SpectorV** · 06-30-2006, 08:40 AM

I bet it would be extremly hard to get a high power 351 to pass emission laws and what not N/A

would take a 100% redesign and a ton of money. They dont need that to sell good (as you can see by the numbers) so they probably wont do it

SilentNoise · 06-30-2006, 03:10 PM

Same could be said about throwing a big block into the new Stangs as well. Can you imagine a BB 428SCJ under the hood? Tell me the baby boombers who are snapping up all of these classics wouldn't drool over that.

Unfortunately, as Spector mentions, emissions standards these days won't allow for the production of anything even close to that, so it's left in the hands of the custom hot rod shops and the people living in areas that have no regulations for those kinds of things.

drewmo50 · 06-30-2006, 05:54 PM

T-tops, hell yeah!! I have a 87 gt w/tops I love the car!

STEVE · 06-30-2006, 05:56 PM

turbo instead of a supercharger on the cobras.

ridenmystang · 07-24-2006, 03:49 PM

Well I'm Just goin to be a girl on this one.... I wish the insides were nicer. Maybe they shold put navigational Sys in them or at least in some limited mustangs.... to make them look a little more lux like. I'm for the t-tops too.

cobraj · 09-25-2007, 05:48 AM

i think a 50 stroker package with a kenne bell with a 175 shot of zex nos package

dark · 09-26-2007, 04:54 PM

a diet. 500lbs, minimum loss

**Y2E0L0L5OGWT** · 09-26-2007, 05:00 PM

A chooice of SRA or "GOOD" IRS...this way you have the pony cars for those who live for the 1/4-miles and the pony car for those who prefer the twisties...

CarlosCCantu · 09-29-2007, 01:10 AM

I would like to see the Giugiaro concept going into production, but obviously with normal roof, trunk and doors. With a more powerful engine, about 350 to 400 hp.
Also, I would like to see a Mustang Cobra without the Shelby name on it and without stripes, like the '03-'04 model. Like two different models, one the Cobra and another one the GT 500.
The Giugiaro concept is so gorgeous I think it would be a crime not to put it into production.
Screaming yellow and grabber orange should be available at the same time, both are pretty colors. I don't know why one should exclude the other.
Special editions like the Mach 1 and Bullitt are also desirable and are always a success.
I'd like a Mustang beating easily all the V6-foreign-crap like the 350Z, RX-8, etc. A mustang more into the 400hp line.
18 inch wheels, performance packages, more options for interior colors... what else? carbon fiber or aluminum appearance packages for the interior.

CarlosCCantu · 09-29-2007, 01:19 AM

The current GT 500 is way too heavy

lowflyn · 09-29-2007, 02:19 AM

Hey carlos, I think you need to figure out what you're saying first.

For one thing, Ford is not making enough money off these special edition mustangs to continue making them.

Secondly, the Rx-8 is not a V6, it's a rotary and for some reason I don't see it in competition with mustangs.

Thirdly...what???
