What are the first changes you expect Ford to make in the next few years? I'm not talking about colors or aesthetics or SEs. Just tweaks to the GT.

i know what he means. like maybe change little things in the car that didnt work as good as they expected or people didnt like or they just found a better way of doing. like on the sn-95's in 98 they took the clock off the dash or changed the flippy door ashtrey into POS cupholder. in 96 the gauges gave less information than the 94/95 ones. you know small stuff like that

i think maybe the print on the gauges could change, i keep hearing very mixed opinions about them.

Pure speculation...

I would like to see an optional 350hp 5.4 3V N/A motor for the GT although I doubt that would ever happen. They could mate it up to a 6-speed tranny. And it would be nice if IRS was made an option in the GT once it has been developed for the next SVT. A shaker hood would be a neat option for the GT, but might be best left for the next Mach 1.

Hmmm... Maybe the next Mach 1 should get a 350hp 5.4 3V? In that case, maybe a ram-air option for the GT with the dual inlets like the concept had. Maybe offer the big brakes (SVT) as an option also.

Just some random thoughts to discuss...

That said, you know darn well they have plenty they are saving once the new wears off. They are going to wait until sales taper off, and then "oh, here is a 5.4 3V option that we just couldn't get certified in time for the release date of the new car, you can trade now".

I hope they got a lot of tricks of their sleeves. Also, they need to make that "POWERED BY FORD" piece available for the engine.
