I was thinking the same but I think this is just the start... no reason why they can't offer auto in the future.



In the future they can also look at having a different bumper design to further distinguish it from the standard GT. I don't think customers would mind paying a little extra for that.



Either that or Ford US get the idea that there actually is a viable RHD market for their Shelbys.

I bet they're waiting to see the GT500, I think it's getting an 8-speed DCT
as a compromise between auto and manual transmission.

What about 500 S/C Cobras, easy to do with white Mustang GTs.....

I doubt the ten speed in the Mustang is the exact same box that's behind a powerstroke f-series.

Dick Johnson driving an R-Spec in a track demonstration at Bathurst over this weekend, same colour and all as above photos. He is no longer complaining about lack of grunt, as in the previous Mustang he raced in the 1980s!

Cheers.

The standard Mustang is SLOW!! Sure, it might go great from 0-100 or 0-whatever (especially in Auto), but in gear its terrible especially with our moonshot 3.55 final drive. Biggest issue I've had at the track is keeping it in its sweet spot out of corners. You're making extra shifts to keep it going.

The Supercharger will make this a pleasure to drive with torque available when you want it. I'm really looking forward to this product.

One of the biggest issues in recent times is gearbox ratios versus rear axle ratio.
A few years back, Mustang regular GT had a wide ratio box and tall gears and
the optional Sports pack gave shorter rear gears and closer ratio box.

What it really needs is short rear axle and Corvette's 7-speed manual trans. to really pop.
S/C Coyote will be the duck's guts for a few years and big price advantage over Camaro ZL1.

Guys, the 80 in 6R80 and 10 R80 is a function of the input torque (800 lb ft)
That why Super Duty has 6R140 and soon 10R140 to handle 2020 6.7's torque increase
above 1,000 lb ft..

Yes!

The ratios of the 15-17 Mustang are shorter (1:1 appearing in 5th vs the 18-19 which is 4th). The 18-19 gets a 3.73 in the states for this issue but we are lumped with the 3.55, probably something to help with getting past ADR or to save fuel.

'11-'17 gearbox ratios (3.31 and 3.73 rear axle)
1 is 3.66
2 is 2.43
3 is 1.69
4 is 1.32
5 is 1.0
6 is .65

MT82 D4 '18 on (US =3.73 rear axle, AUST = 3.55)

1 is 3.24
2 is 2.10
3 is 1.42
4 is 1.0
5 is 0.81
6 is .62

Maybe needs 3.9s or 4.1s for real gains with NA Coyote...

the 3.55s on the '18 on close ratio box would feel like 3.15 rear axle on earlier Mustang

So you have been here 5 mins and you’re trolling ?

$48,000 US = $72,000 AU add 10 % GST and that is about $80,000 add 33 % luxury sales tax makes it about $88,000.

Add shipping and other costs and you have over $90,000.

Now your little internet grab doesn’t look so good does it ? And that vehicle is exactly the same as this RSPEC vehicle including wheels suspension and everything else ?

Do some more research next time 👎

your maths is wrong but the correct one makes your point stronger.

106000 then profit and shipping

Any way, I just thought the link may have been of interest to some on the forum. I personally think the price is quite reasonable for a new car in Australia that has that performance.

OK take a breath..
It's not all marketing BS, the kits at they stood would not pass our ADRs and had to be reworked and complianced locally, that's why the first Roush kits were'nt covered by Facory warranty or ADR compliant straight up.

On pricing,
Seriously, just look at the current exchange rate, our $65K GT premium in RHD is immediately USD $44K
The S/C Kit from Rousch retails in the US for $7,699 -AUS $11,322 and we're up to $77K without
wheels tyres, suspension and Harrop exhaust....is that worth another $20K including GST/LCT?
Maybe not but, you have two choices buy this with factory warranty or buy the kits and DIY,
good luck with the second option if anything in your new car goes ding....

People are obviously going to pay Ford's price because they don't want their
cars modified by just anyone and possibly voiding any Factory warranty.

What you saw in that link was a dealer selling a base $36K Mustang with a
near $8K S/C kit thrown on for $40K, obviously he's going backwards on
that deal as intending to sell lots more options on top to improve margins
because that's how US dealer advertising works (bait and switch).

For $100k I think it's fantastic value. My only gripe is that I believe Ford should have offered the PP2 wheels with the Cup 2 tyres as an option, along with the huge Brembo brakes from the GT350. As a standard, factory package, I'm really excited by it.

Anyone thinking, "Huh, why would you do that?"
Answer is: way cheaper than Ford US can supply...

They really, really need Ford to go do the right think and sign off on PP2 approval,
that thing is gonna blaze the tyres without the better rims and rubber....

Looks like I was correct. Here's a quote from Rob Herrod.

Mr Herrod explained that upping outputs of the Mustang’s ‘Coyote’ 5.0-litre V8 by around 179kW and 258Nm using a supercharger required no changes to the engine internals due to its sophisticated quad-cam design.



“It’s a high-compression engine but with the quad cams we can actually bleed off compression through valve timing,” he said.



“You don’t have to put lower compression pistons in to supercharge the engine and for it to live, you can actually bleed the compression through the inlet and exhaust valves. It’s very complex.”



Mr Herrod said the electronic engine re-calibration to achieve this “comes from Ford’s end”.

What is with Ford Australia's stubborn refusal to put decent rubber under the bum of their supercharged V8 cars? It would have been so easy this time, with PP2 already having 305's. Even if the rear end needed to be upgraded to handle the extra grip they have a number of options from the FRPP catalogue to use, which are also used in the GT500 like the half shafts, stronger diff cover etc.

I reckon they have kept the stock size tyres due to drive by noise. Getting the R spec noise compliant was a major job, and fitting wider tyres would have resulted in extra road noise. In my opinion anyway.

Mr Herrod explained that upping outputs of the Mustang’s ‘Coyote’ 5.0-litre V8 by around 179kW and 258Nm using a supercharger required no changes to the engine internals due to its sophisticated quad-cam design.



“It’s a high-compression engine but with the quad cams we can actually bleed off compression through valve timing,” he said.



“You don’t have to put lower compression pistons in to supercharge the engine and for it to live, you can actually bleed the compression through the inlet and exhaust valves. It’s very complex.”



Mr Herrod said the electronic engine re-calibration to achieve this “comes from Ford’s end”.
I know you've seen a lot of Miamis in your time but I gotta think that Ford
aced the Coyote with tis design and using the VCT to vary the dynamic compression,
almost like a Miller cycle.

Default Re: R-Spec 2020 Mustang

Returning from Bathurst , i seen these doing the laps with Dick J driving i believe, I was surprised to hear that the GT had a much better exhaust note than the R spec Car.

talking to Sales guy it was in the vicinity of $110 -114 including on roads costs
