- Mach E GT PE
You have a gtpe and it's that slow to pass on the highway!?? I've heard because of the instant torque it's still fast as hell to pass at 80+Im trying, trying to keep positive untill proven otherwise, but the early reports of dismal GT performance and the fact that the car was released into the wild and on the track -lame puts to question Fords intent and capabilities.
So, its not a Mustang. Its not a GT. Its not Ford Performance. Its not even a Rabbit. It can not compete with other electrics or gas. Certainty not Tesla- its main competitor.
If the early specs are true, this Ford Mustang Mach e GT Performance edition is actually an electric Taurus that will have trouble passing around a pack of semi trucks on I95 going 80mph- come box in my $80k Ford GT Performace sports car. Watch the F150 Lightning brick blow my (handel less) doors off. I dont think my GTP could pass my Mom's Lexus RX on the highway. Bright red painted Brembo? This car has no need for high performance brakes because the motors will slow me down.
This is not race track letdown. This looks to be a every day highway slug. Now add Passing Speed anxiety to Range anxiety. 0-60? I have zero desire to jackrabbit first into an intersection. Thats a race to get T-Boned. Kid stuff.
I dont want a very nice Taurus hatchback. I want an electric Mustang and I will pay extra for a GT Ford Performance sports car.
Is this it? Please make it so!
Ford promised Performace beyond T-Bone racing, a GT badge and red brakes. But what exactly have they let out of the stable (horse or bull) and is it a mistake to be quickly fixed or a new pay to play marketing plan? Not yet we hope...
Is Deloitte marketing analytics department working on it or top hw/sw engineers?
(Perception or Performance).
Its all about Trust now and if this is their Mustang much less their GT, then Ford Performance is over. Who would trust a $125k Shelby electric, etc?
This is Ford's moment. Edsel or Grand Prix? Taurus or Mustang?
America needs a real electric Mustang- now. We want to believe.
We are still here with you.
Come on Ford, show us and the world what you've got.
Lets ride!
