Yet another dolled up Mustang GT with no real content. Most everything in that list could be found in a RK Sport product brochure....
The last however many "packages" I have seen from Ford are at best nothing more than a dolled up Mustang GT that Ford is way over charging for. i.e. Shelby GT. When will Ford offer a Mustang with some real content that fits in between the GT and Cobra? Such as the previous generation Mach 1?

The previous gen Bullitt wasn't really anything more than an appearance package.

It did have a few more enhancements that weren't just appearance. The shocks were revalved, throttle body enlarged, aluminum intake manifold added, and the mufflers were a little more aggressive. But other than that it was an appearance package.

That's what's lost in all the bashing.
A bit unique, but the price for what you get wouldn't personally be my cup o' tea. Especially with a plain grill. The Mustang's grill is so expansive it looks terrible in plain V6 trim without anything to break it up.

I get it. If I was going to buy a GT to start modding, I'd seriously consider this one just on looks. But IMO what they really need is a car between the GT and the Shelby -- a 400 hp $32k car that isn't some super-limited edition, but is widely available. Where is it?
