    Ford has lost their minds putting a V6 in it.

    It's beautiful, but a V-6? Really? I don't get it.

    Wow, that is pretty radical.....Ford obviously decided to go revolution instead of evolution on the design. Should be called the La Ford, lol.

    My friend is there and texted me the new track day version of the Mustang.....500 lbs lighter, carbon fiber wheels, etc. Ford is going to help push Dodge and GM to the next level of performance.

    I also think it's gorgeous, defines exotic.

    I haven't read any claim as to vehicle weight. With a V6, and carbon fiber, it would be something if they can get the weight under 3G's. Otherwise, it will be "just" another beautiful sports car with a pricetag north of 250G's.

    I really like it. If I had to pick the areas I don't like, its the lower sides and the lower front bumper, but overall it is really, really great. Its taking the GT40 and GT design cues ten steps further, something a supercar should do.

    I've thought for a long time, despite my appreciation for the Viper haha, that a V6 with turbos is the ideal powerplant for a street car. I hope this car goes on to prove that it can perform well. I'll certainly miss the awesome sound of a V8 coming out of this car, but hopefully it makes some nice music in a new way.

    And they announced a new Ford Raptor as well. Ford is knocking it out of the park right now!

    I love it. I dislike the TT V6 and DCT.

    New Competition

    It's no Viper, but it looks beautiful (revealed at Detroit - goes on sale next year). The continued production of US supercars is a wonderful thing. Hopefully it continues to provide additional justification for continued Vipers:

    The car does look nice. V6's have come along way in performance.

    I think it's gonna be a helluva car!

    Not bad but I guess I'll be in the minority that's not blown away by it. I much prefer the predecessor. This one reminds of one of those boutique cars from GTM or the like. Maybe it will grow on me with time or in a different color...

    I wish they went smaller displacement TT V8 a la P1 instead of this TT V6. That kinda takes away a little exotic/super-car-ness imho.

    I have 2 Vipers and a Blue Raptor now-you are soooo correct Greg-the new Raptor looks fierce as well-Kudos to Ford-at least for today they are definitely KNOCKING it OUT of the PARK!!!

    Porsche seems to do OK with a TT Six in the 911....

    But I agree, and American car should have more engine...it's our heritage!

    As long as they build the V6 with the potential of the V6 in the Nissan GT-R, and give it some 9,000+ rpm range, it will do fine. But, to target "just over 600hp" isn't cutting it. That was so 2010. By 2017, it will seem far behind the others. I'd target 700+ hp, if I were them.
