Looks like the Mustang GT is getting a nice upgrade in 2018. HP at 460 and 0-60 under 4 seconds supposedly. New 10 speed auto transmission available and a cool "dragstrip mode" available with the performance pack I believe. Looks like it will be competitive with Camaro SS once again though not sure how the suspension will stack up between the two but sounds promising. I expect we will see on track lap times before too long. Pricing supposed to be released tomorrow. Can't wait to see one of these.

Excerpt from link above:

"Shortly after it debuted in January, we guessed that the updated-for-2018 Mustang GT would offer 455 hp. Unfortunately we were wrong. Ford announced today that the 2018 GT actually makes 460 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque, and impressively, runs from 0-60 mph in under 4.0 seconds. Sounds good to us.

To achieve that acceleration figure, you'll have to order your Mustang GT with Ford's new 10-speed automatic—the same one used in the F-150 Raptor—and the Performance Package. The GT actually gets a new Drag Strip mode, which optimizes the transmission for straight-line performance.

"In Drag Strip mode, the engine torque doesn’t drop when you’re shifting," said Mustang chief engineer Gene Widmann in a statement. "You get peak engine torque and horsepower straight through."

Drag Strip mode is available on manual-transmission Mustangs too, but if you're looking for the quickest acceleration, get the automatic. In Performance-pack equipped GTs, Drag Strip mode also changes the settings of the car's MagneRide dampers, helping increase weight transfer to the rear axle, providing greater traction.".....

Would be a little overkill for me....

I just want this one.....is that too much to ask?

Built for a world that's flat, straight, and 1/4 mile long.

Nice job, Ford!
I still enjoy my 2016 5.0 GT with the 6-speed manual and the 3.73 gears.
