This car is obviously beautiful, but what strikes me about it generally is how low and sleek the original can look with a great stance. I really hate the high beltline look of recent cars and it seems like they are just getting higher and higher. The Camaro so much so that you can't even see out of the thing properly.

Another result of this is that new cars need huge wheels to look properly proportioned now as well because of the massive amount of body. This is why large modern wheels (I think anything over 17-18") look out of place on a vintage resto-mod.

Bring back the long, low, clean and mean look and forget the bloated cartoon car proportions!

 

Agreed, I was talking about this with my brother. Imagine MyColor taken to the next level with Ford having a glass cockpit and preloaded skins for the instrument panel with downloadable skins and the ability to load your own skins into the panel display. The centerstack should be the same as well with a big touch screen.

The gauge panel and cetnerstack should also be customizable with whatever inputs/outputs the driver wants - voltage, water temp, mass-air signal, vaccum - whatever is available to the computer as an input (would be nice if Ford would add a performance computer to the navi system). As well as some definable events like the neat trick the LF-A uses when you get over a certain speed and the speedometer collapsing into the tach or like the current car with the whole tacj turing color when you bump the redline.

 

I also agree. I think this idea is inevitable, and the possibilities are endless. Even imagine how cool a simple Ford Racing skin would be with a huge racing tach graphic and options for viewing and keeping track of your lap/run stats etc.

Like most technology, I think we will start seeing it in more expensive cars first, and then when it becomes cheap enough, it will trickle down to cars like the Mustang. I'm usually against useless gizmos and nonsense when it comes to Mustangs but I think this would be amazing.

 

It was once said that the reason the horse in the grill on the Mustang is facing against the normal flow of the race track is because Mustang sets its own direction. if this is true then lets not follow the Challenger, Camaro, 300C, Charger ect. and focus on being Mustang.

 

P.S.
If I see one more 75-85 Monti-Carlo with 28" wheels and 1" profile tires I am going to hurle.

 

I didn't wade all the way thru, but the single thing i love between my 06 GT and 07 GT500 is the Shelby seats (as far as the interior goes) .

I love them. Thought about looking for a crashed one to replace the 03's with 'em. So as far as the interior for the 2014 (the next time I am projecting to be in the market) is that the base GT get the same quality seats.

The other stuff I want in my 07 is already available currently (Nav, Homelink)

 

-Aluminum dead pedal

-Better lateral bolstering on seats (finding this out the hard way more and more!)

 

Bring back the Factory Sunroof. Not evryone wants a Vert.

 

Good one! Super cheap for Ford to add, too.

I agree with the bolsters as well. If they are worried about "large" Mustang owners, at least offer a Sports seat upgrade.

 

I'm trying to be sensible here. Everyone has to realize that there are things we may want as a community, but the cost will never allow them to come to light.

 

Definitely. Hopefully Ford is reading this thread, we are saving them a few million on market research

 

Dual clutch gearbox, heated seats on GT500, and direct injection

 

Updated the OP with suggestions from the thread. Thanks Jonf!

 

I'm pretty sure you're going to be happy within a few years.

 

I think the cold weather package will be a very possible option. The 2012 Focus has that as an available option, so this might be a sign of future direction with packages.

 

Do you know something about DCT that we dont??

 

MyFord Touch in a 2011 Ford Edge. I think we can pretty much guarantee this is coming in the redesign. Looks badass!

 

Obviously on a more sporty steering wheel than that. I think we might see a variation of MFT that will be more performance oriented. The center of the dual gauge setup might be the area between the speedo & tach, with screens top/bottom in there that are controlled by the 5-way buttons on the wheel.

 

Maybe the large center gauge will be a tach with the speedo to the side. I wonder if they would ever go down that road. I think it's safe to assume no one wants a digital tachometer.

 

That's what I was going to say. I want MFT in a Mustang, but they need to change the wheel and button layout for the stang. The sync controls on the current wheel are perfect IMO
