reveal what?..another disappointment..

if F wants to sell these, redo the rear look and put more power in the entry line to be effective. otherwise, another waste of time and money.

Obviously you haven't heard, read, or seen what will be in the new Mustangs. I'll let you just find out yourself.

I'm really anxious to see what numbers it puts down, and to see if it lives up to the specs that have been thrown around here lately. If it does, it will be a high to mid 12's car.

That is the kicker. Will the numbers still be the same. I have my fingers crossed.

I really don't see a huge increase happening but a lot of variables are still unknown.

I bet Ford will try its very hardest for it have a very minor increase in weight at the most. I wonder if the transmission will take the over 100 HP increase well or not...

Most of us know of the power boost with the new 5.0 liter car....that will very likely make it a mid to high 12 second 1/4 car...but there will likely be no exterior changes, with is unfortunate, IMO.

It will no doubt be one hell of a performace car...six speed....with about 400 hp. But an exterior refresh is overdue.

They are getting new 6 speed transmissions however the old transmissions held up perfectly fine to mods well in excess of 100hp.

It just got an exterior refresh for the 2010 model year. How is one year "overdue?"

I mean - I think it needs a refresh because I personally don't like the look in the slightest, but even I can't say thats its "overdue" at this point.

The rear is my favorite part of the design, while i find the side view a bit boring.

just because you dont like it doesnt mean that ford NEEDS to redesign it. and as others have said, plenty of power is on the way.
