Yes, especially the touch screen nav, back up camera, leather seats, my color, and sync system!
The Mustang is already competing against Euro cars, look at all the people who switched out their BMWs for 5.0s, quite a few.

awd in a mustang? thats a crap idea at best. I have hated every single paddle shifter I have ever used. The shelby already hangs with those cars. The mustang V6 competes with the genesis and beats it currently. The 5.0 boss already handles the m3.
Not trying to be mean.

Again, they need to think Ferrari paddle shift with the Shelby to make that car to the next level , and Lamborghini awd .... Not low budget awd and gimmic paddle shifting.

Awd should be an option just like the BMW /Audi....as the paddle shift....just because you dont want it, others may on there Shelby, I know i would.

Mine won't have the touch screen...leather is pretty much standard on everything these days...so are systems like sync. The heart of the car is still a muscle car.

long story short if you want fast and awd buy a taurus sho. If you want Ferrari paddle shifters buy a *wait for it* Ferrari. I hear mitsu makes a car that has a great AWD system..

paddle shifters are very poser'ish. If someone wants that kind of care its already being made.
FYI
if AWD was that much better true mustang race cars would have it but they dont. AWD is in mostly like a set of training wheels for those who cannot drive.

it might be up against those cars because of similar options but I believe thats where the comparison ends. Pretty much all F350 super duties have those options but I am more then sure that are not up against euro cars.

I don't want a BMW in a ford body. I want a mustang. I think the IRS is as "Euro" as it's going to get. Just my 2EUR

Quite comical on the backlash of a Shelby with 650 hp having a awd option is for those that want it is like having training wheels....or paddle shifters should never be offered....Lamborghini should never be owned by a German company, Ferrari should never make over 5,000 cars a year...and Mc Donald's having healthy food choices should have never happened, but in reality companies and products need to change to fit the market.
Unfortunately, whether a few believe it never should, in an ever growing population and demanding consumer base for product improvement....ford mustang and others will need to adapt....the buyer of the original mustang,is not the same buyer today....just like the other brands.
Don't be too disappointed if your future mustang goes electric one day .... Hopefully I'm around for that thread ....I'm sure similar comments will happen

the point is that if you are looking to buy such a car you are simply not looking at buying a mustang.
I do not think we will see a bentley dub edition..
AWD isnt that great unless you drive the car in snow. How many F1 cars have AWD?

You don't think a Shelby with awd and f1 shifting wouldnt sell well against a Nissan gt/r, or a Porsche 911, or Audi r8 .... I know I would place my order for 85grand ...and I know a few others as well that would join in

but those cars are not the same kind of car.. its like comparing a mini van and a truck and asking if you can fit the same amount fo 2x4's in the rear.
its like buying a trailer(mobil home) and wanting a two story house so you buy another trailer to stack on top.

I compare my 2013 5.O ragtop to a Lexus is350 ragtop, to the Benz 350 ragtop......the BMW 335 ragtop ......all similar in size, all similar seating...just better value in the 5.0 for the price and power.
