I know a lot of you would like to see bigger brakes. How about some red Brembos? I'd like to see some instrumentation. Come on, it's a performance vehicle and it's only got a temp gauge? I'd like to also see an oil pressure and volt meter along with a boost gauge mounted on the A-pillar.

Factory Boost gauge
Floor Mats that cover the floor
A removable grille, as ours is part of the front bumper assembly.

A cheaper price without decontenting so that I could afford 1. Now if that precludes removing the dreamy EcoBoost then forget it :)

Did I just read the EcoBoost was "dreamy"? thanks for that little bit of puke Latoya.
I want more space in the driver footwell for my right knee, guages, brakes, and a no chrome option.

i know its history now days and rarely heard of but a manual transmission. dare i say a six speed? whats that third pedal mommy? its the devil Bobbie!!

all kidding aside, yes a manual would be nice. is it going to happen? no, well most likely not. dual/twin clutch would be nice too. but i don't see that happening either. that's about all i can think about coming from a guy who hasn't even driven the car. so i cant really say much.

i think it would be really cool if the new sho had unique fascia and bumper maybe some side skirts, no chrome, and a little more aggressive stance. it would be nice if the front seats had a little more support, and if the engine was a little louder when the skinny pedal was down. (i know i said i didnt get to dive one yet but i did sit in one with the engine on)

I agree bigblock, a manual would be nice. The seats I thought were a bit thin and a little bit more growl... it's waaaay too quiet.
Out of curiosity, I converted it to cubic inches... that's 214! Can you imagine back in the early Mustang days saying you're getting 350 hp out of that 200 six! But then again, they weren't paying $40K for the car too. OK, that's $6K in 1966 dollars.

More all over down there would be nice.
I'm 1/4 Italian but it's a play on my last name (Polish) that my former boss started, is there some meaning there?
As of late everyone's just calling me Scoooooooch.:wave:

if you guys want a six speed then buy a car and ill make you one. It would be real simple to do..

Just make sure that you know that Ill walk away from you with the auto.

I would like one person give me 1 just ONE good reason that someone would want a true manual.

Ummmm... personal preference? It's gotta have a little bit of rumble though, it's too quiet now. The paddle shifter is way cool, but it's just not the same. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the automatic at all.

Only thing the car needs is a diet, besides that I love everything about it.

I didn't realize how big it really was until I pulled it into my garage! Funny, I was looking at one in the showroom and it was right next to a Fusion. I was thinking that I didn't know the Fusion was that small! It doesn't bother me though. If you're talking about how much it weighs, I was surprised too. My buddy said it weighs more than his fullsize pickup.

I would like to see the addition of more color choices for the exterior/interior.
The ideal combination for me would be a medium blue metallic exterior with a tan interior. (And yes, I still like woodgrain).:nut:

Color for sure!

A real Red
and a Blue like the f-150 wears would be fantastic.

As far as exhaust goes Pony, well ill post a new link in a bit. I did one last night.. Ill get some video at NESHO later too.. Sounds pretty good too! I think it still needs tweaking but thats what I do.

Cat backs will be available in a few weeks.

I went with Tuxedo Black by process of elimination. I like black, but it's too hard to take care of... I've got two Mustangs in black. I would have liked White Platinum with a camel interior. I'm happy with the black... the metal flake needs very bright sunlight to see and it has a sort of rainbow effect!

Catbacks huh! :wav:
I wonder if there would be an issue with the extended warranty, mines 3rd party. I put headers on my '03 mach 1, the Ford warranty didn't mind... well, at least my dealer didn't!

spent a lil more time in one today, and here's a few changes i'd make...: get rid of them flimsy paddle shifters and put something that i'm not afraid i'm gonna break in there. on the same lines, right for upshift, left for downshift. get it straight. give the damn car some bark, cuz it's just too quiet, even at WOT. bring back the inflateable bolstering. more rear bias for when you feel like rally bombing up the dirt road you happen to live on during a solo test drive :biggrin:. redesign those ******** headrests.

Well Guys for the Sound.. Try Cutting Out your Resonators.. they have a HUGE a** can in the middle of the Car.. Took Mine Out Monday.. Def. put alittle Purr back there. All it needs.

As far as Changes. a Boost Gauge Would have been Perfect.. Im looking into the Unleashed Tuning Packages and Im gonna have to add the gauge anyway. Dont wanna over do it.. Only Thing I'd Change.. The RED Met. is awesome in the Sun Light and With a Rocky Mountain Radar/Laser - Detector and Jammer its NO worries. lol.

I wouldnt mind hearing the blow off valve either..
