New special edition Mustang coming out!

Hope this isn't a repost. I know its for a good cause, but I am wondering now where the special edition Mustang thing is going to end up?

Interesting, the tag line reads "Winning the race against breast cancer is going to take a whole lot of horsepower", but there is no increase in or mention of horsepower. Just a styling package.

They didn't get carried away with the styling upgrades either. Still, its going for a great cause, I like the idea behind it. My company deals alot with the Susan G. Komen organization as well.:) It should be a win/win situation, it'll help Ford sell some more cars and it will help a charitable organization at the same time.

Penn and Teller had an episode where they explained that those pink ribbons are BS because there isn't really any nationally unified medical effort against breast cancer, but I haven't researched it for myself, so idk

No mention of HP, probably because its a V-6.

Although it's a good cause, and it shows once again that Ford's Mustang wrote the book on how to do special editions, I think I'll wait for the Bullitt instead.

Should be out this fall. :D

I think "wrote the book" is a little strong - to me it implies that they're the best, and personally I think all those special editions are little more than window dressing. Doing special editions that offer a customized driving experience would be far more impressive IMHO.

It seems to me that a regular mustang will be the rare ones 20 years from now.

I thought it was a pretty pansey idea when I first read this thread's title, but looking at it, it does look like a nice idea for a good cause. They just need Oprah to give the car some good publicity. :D

Aww cute! I like where Ford's head is and the idea behind it but to me it makes the Mustang further look like a chicks car.

Good cause, maybe a little bit of a stretch for a whole option package though.

Ok?

This is an ultra rare Mustang... GT!!!

:rolleyes:

If Ford put a sixteenth into the rest of the cars they did into Mustang they wouldn't be in the hole they're in.

Makes me wonder if GM and Chrysler will follow their lead -- will we see a ton of Camaro and Challenger special editions?

You can probally bet the farm you'll see a Challenger Daytona, SRT, and Rumble Bee special editions, and Fbodfather is already fishing for special edition ideas for Camaro, so you probally don't need to wonder too much. :)

Supposedly, one of the first Challenger "specials" will be the Challenger T/A -- graphics plus the slightly-souped-up 5.7/auto driveline from the Charger Daytona.

That would be interesting. :eek:

I heard that was going to be a Dark Hyland Green Shelby GT with a V6 grille, no spoiler and 5 less hp for 34k.

Seems to me that if they a offered a pink mustang, vice a stupid little pink stripe on the bottom of the car that they might make more of a statement. I mean, think about how many girls would drop the coin to get a pink mustang.

Solid pink units were reserved for Playboy cars all the way back to the 1960's...
Some were given to playmates by Heffner - the prices of those units is sky-high. Others were available for order by anyone - color codes are on charts.

Here's the new proposal...

New Playboy Mustang (http://sema.autoblog.com/2006/11/21/playboy-pink-mustang/)

Though the Loman edition and the Playboy edition might both be asociated with boobs, they are WORLDS apart in the meaning behind them, so I don't think the Koman foundation would want to risk being associated with the latter on the vehicle.
