Honestly I don't think your getting another 15 hp. I think what your getting is a truer HP rating.

2014. Last of the Mustang Muscle Cars. 2015 Enter the Mustang Sports Car.

Personally I'm curious about that master cylinder, and whether or not it can be retrofitted to the S197s. Looks like it finally solves the leaky cap problem.

Another thought on the coolant tank... I looked at my/our current bays and it hit me: the 11-14 had a matte black plastic "top", if you will, making it blend in better amidst the sea of blacks and dark grays. The 15 coolant tank is all white, top to bottom, save for the cap. So the "ugliness" (someone said hippo LOL) is up in plain view for all to see. Why they decided to eliminate the matte black top I don't know. My guess is cost. But I'm sure aftermarket will have a "cover" to go on it altogether. That's fine. It's just that the more I see it, the more the white sticks out

Probably because people complained that they couldn't easily see the tank level by just eyeballing it...

Agreed. The 2015 looks like an afterthought done by some summer intern in the design dept.

Now here's a nice looking V8:

Looks nice if you don't want to ever work on it.

You can work on it; you could top off the window washer fluid.
