HOPEFULLY LESS THAN A YEAR WAIT: New 2018 (MY18) S550.2 Mustang V8 10-speed ordered

[Gibbo]

That looks great, colour aside. Buy that one.

Already in discussions with Roush about what they will make available so one can build their own 729 car.

 

[bowey]

Not a fan of the colour and I normally hate wide arch kits, normally tacky, but Roush have simply nailed it, best looking Mustang I've seen full stop I think.

love that, august my merc goes back mustang would be awesome to own.. my bank account wouldnt like it though

Seeing them lined up like that really makes the excitement build, they are stunning.

 

[Gibbo]

Glad the V8 is so much more louder and better sounding stock this time.

[Yaayuh!]

How much are Ford paying you?

Fishing for a discount

I already have a nice discount.
Ford pay me a small fortune.

Why does the Rpm start with a 0. That would annoy me

 

[Clarkey]

The lag on the digital display would annoy me much more. Give me an analogue gauge cluster any day thanks.

Probably because when the engine is off its running at zero RPM ?

Always found cable driven gauges far more laggy than digital ones, not to mention far more inaccurate.

 

[Simon]

Well why do I want to see 0620rpm at idle ?

It’s a full lcd Panel. It doesn’t need a darker shade of grey for a number that’s not used

 

[Entai]

I like the way that the numbers on the rev counter are a darker shade, then as the needle approaches a number it brightens, gets it's brightest as the needle is on the number, then darkens slightly again as the needle goes past the number.

The same on the speedo side.

It's a nice touch and attention to detail that I like, and if you don't like the grey/white then change the colours, you can have blue, red, green, orange, or other colours in the My Colour menu, can't do that easily with analogue gauges.

As to not needing zero so why is it there, you do not need the 8 either, never revs that high so why put that in ? Why the 160 on the speedo when it's electronically limited to 155 ? You can go on.

Downhill with a bit of wind behind for an extra few mph

Some are worse than others to be fair. I assume they've come on a long way.

My Bike has an analogue rev dial and digital for speed, I like that combo.

Same thing is on JLR stuff "Torchlight" on the 2010 Jaguar XJ. Good to see them copy

I guess the 0 is referring to when its in digital read out not the virtual analogue needle..... Cos 0620rpm does indeed look daft.

 

[Simon]

Yes exactly, has he even see the video?

It sits at 0620 RPM for most of it and it not like a old petrol station display, its actually been added! Only a Fanboy would think that 0620RPM is better than 620RPM
