Leaked email from Ford Employee

first time in a while I dont go on the net all day and I came on to find this. My stomach just dropped when I read that. I hope to god it isnt true.
Rember in one of the other posts how ford was lookin more into what the cutomer wanted and talking about todays car tuners and stuff like that, this is all the exact oppiste of everything we have heard so far.

I'll adopt a wait and see attitude as always and I beg for folks to just temper their reactions until January. But to be honest if even any of that is remotely true Ford will have to price this thing REALLY well to get a cent of my money.
Then again...possible scare tactic to get people to buy up the remaining 03-04 stock? Hmmmm nah....

i read it over at the mach1 registry the other day-I call BS on it.Just another internet scam artist trying to stir up sh_t.3800lbs, come on.

I think it is someone trying to blow smoke at us, why would Ford make a car that you cant customize or mod, that would go against what the mustang started as and the legend it would become...

I will label this as suspicious in the realms between fact and fallacy. The management stuff seems really scary and true especially for the corporation that I work for. Upper management is rarely someone promoted from the ground up - which is a sad thing.

I hope it is false especially about the WEIGHT

I wish they would use aluminum instead of sheet metal or steel - as a luxo option or sumethin

if Ford is capable of doing this to the consumer.....http://www.blueovalnews.com/2003/cars/focus.fuelpump03n01.htm

and screwing all the 2003 cobra guys with a killed waranty because of improper tread depth then I believe the email and will think twice about buyiing another Ford. sometimes customer service can make one product better then another.

This is just a hypothetical response. I'm bound by a confidentiality agreement. I need my job. I hope they let me go. I can't stand this place any longer...

Well, I believe if this was real, this "person" would be in trouble, big corporations have ways of finding who wrote something like this! Just my opinion after years of dealing with "corporate"!

Just a thought but Ford stated it talked to the millenia car buying group? Or something like that. They found out that people liked to modify. That's why they have the color adjustable dash. And I believe they even mentioned turbos in teh statement. Now some guy who we know nothing about other than what he claims. Posts negative things about the stang. That seem to go against things Ford has stated earlier.

"Mustang's heritage is built on performance and attainability, as well as its appeal with aftermarket tuners who customize their cars inside and out," says Hau Thai-Tang, Ford Mustang chief nameplate engineer. "Now, Mustang customers will get more interior flexibility straight from the plant."

That seems to me to say they are in tune with the aftermarket. And I seriously doubt any manufacturer is not in tune with what the aftermarket can do for sales. To do so would be a death warrant.

I have heard nothing about the driveby wire throttle in the stang. Not saying it couldn't happen. But so far nothing said about it. 3800lbs? If the LS weighs that then the mustang should not. 4 doors is nearly always going to weigh more than 2.
