What’s changed?
“new “ gen S650 (7th gen)
Same chassis
Same suspension design
Same wheelbase
Same basic powertrain
Engine
Still a coyote 5.0 but heavily reworked for…more power
Dual throttle bodies with dual air intakes
480hp now
Add 6 more hp with performance pack (exhaust)
That’s 1 more hp than the Dodge Hemi stuff…on purpose
418 lbft
Engine cover is faux carbon fiber
Dark horse will squeak up to 500 hp
Remote rev
Completely silly and probably not great for the engine
But TOTALLY in keeping with the personality
Still sounds amazing
Trans
Same options as before
Either a 10 speed
Or the manual option is still the Getrag MT82
Rev match
Manual only with V8 - auto ecoboosts
Dark horse gets Tremec manual….get that
Graphics
Screens are a big focus of this new car
And so are the graphics
Much like the Hummer EVs the graphics here are done by Epic Games
Very cool
Love the animations
AND you get different cluster views - including old Fox Body graphic
Everyone seems so put off - like what did you expect?
Screens
No more double bubble dash
All screen here on premium
Non premiums split the screens ever so slightly
Climate is in the screen
Wireless acp & aa
SYNC 4
The Ponies
Everywhere
It also says “mustang everywhere”
Blinker
Not new
But sounds like horse gallop
Tech treats
Auxiliary gauges
Custom launch control
Can launch at 7000 rpm
If you want to nuke your clutch
Line lock
Classic mustang stuff
Exhaust modes
Quiet start mode
Drive modes are funky
Hand brake
Not a mechanical brake
Issa drift brake (brake by wire)
Rear seats
Still really small
Performance upgrades
A lot of these things are carry over from the S550, but still good
Mag ride option for performance pack cars
Brembos have the mustang logo on them
Rear LSD on performance lack cars
GT visual differentiation
The car itself doesn't look hugely different than the S550
But it’s at least now easier to tell the difference between a 5-0 and ecoboost
On the GT you get a hood scoop
The grille is also reworked for the GT
Classic headlights and taillights
Wheels looks exactly like the M2 wheels we had
BMW comp wheels
Rear hips are wider
And of course there’s a handful of GT badges
Performance pack cars will say so on the rear GT badge
There’s a bronze accent package that looks sicc
Bronze is the new black
Whatever you do be sure toget the rear wing
Easter egg
On rear window there’s a parade of mustang gens
Interior design
No more double bubble
No more toggles
Overhead USB for track cam - taking notes from the Bronco
Shifter looks the same
Same cupholders as S550
Overall materials seem noticeably nicer
Can get orange interior (emberglo)
Seats
Comfy
Heated and cooled
Safety
Adaptive cruise - even on manual
Take notes M2
Lane centering
Price
GT starts 42,500
GT premium 47k
As tested 61,600
Dark horse starts at 59k
Personally I think just go dark horse
