Lol.... Mustang....

Glad I went with ST instead and didn't wait. But still have to see and play final product before passing final judgement.

146 posts in only 2 hours, you never disappoint pinside

I don't care much for the mustang, but I won't pass judgement just yet. The fact that they are getting a good artist, a good soundtrack spanning 50 years, and are using Tanner foust from Top gear to narrate says Stern is still trying to push the features to compete. Now that said, this thing had better figure out how to have a drift multiball

The brits do such a better job on their Top Gear.

for sure. I watch on BBC America. The American version is unwatchable.

Who's taking my money?? Where do I chuck my cash, quick I need to know?? Excited (Can you Tell)

Lets see some photos. The 'exclusive to Ford' part may be interesting. Will it have to for service at my local dealer when it gets 5000 plays or every 6 months which ever comes first.

They license Steve McQueen somehow it will be gold !

Best marketing ad ever.

I'm excited. can't wait to hear more about it. hopefully we can see it soon. original artwork and 50 years of music should be cool.

interesting. wonder if they'll try to hock these at Ford dealerships. maybe creative dealers could include them as an incentive on a new 5.0

If they start up a "Buy a 2015 Mustang, get a pinball machine free" deal, I'm in trouble.

(Actually, the Z4 will be paid by then, and no payment sounds so much better than big car payment. But free pinball sounds good too...)

Guarantee Steppenwolf Born to be Wild will be in there.

Cars is a nice change from bands and movies. I look forward to hearing the LE trim

Incentive? Hah, I guarantee you that some shady dealers will have a $5K mark up over MSRP for the car during the first few months. Happens all the time....

we talking about cars or pinballs now?

Both. Just saying your idea of getting a free pin with the purchase of a car ain't happening, at least not for a few years when sales tail off....

nah I got it I was just making a funny

They'll make a new girl named "Carla"

"Carla"?

No, no, no.......definitely "Sally"!

Will the pinball machine weigh too much, will it overheat? Will the paint fade, like Mustang brakes?

Anyway, here's some Mustang fun, 140 mph to 0 mph.

Well between this theme and F&F 7 being delayed (possibly cancelled) I'd say the chances of an F&F pin are now 0%

Yep. I hope Ford is paying them for it because I know I won't.

They're not doing 2 car themes back to back. Borg is not working on F&F. If you listen to the Spooky Pinball podcast you may be able to connect the dots after you heard them talk about Mustangs and knowing that is now announced.

The Mustang Pin isn't something new. It's been brewing for several months, which means it was decided independently of F&F.

That was the plan until Paul Walker died. Now it's up in the air.

Wow. I can say with certainty that this is the first NIB Stern I've ever seriously contemplated buying. As a lifelong Mustang enthusiast, I will be scrutinizing every last detail, though. That, you can be sure of.

Personally, I hope it does flop as a theme to catch on with everybody. That way, I can pick one up on the cheap pretty quickly! Let's just hope they have one at either PAGG or CAX next year for me to try out.

I can't stand Tanner Foust. Strike one.
The licensing of the Sony music collection or whatever sounds like it's going to have songs playing the whole time(a la AC/DC and Metallica). Strike two.

The jury's going to be out for a long time for me on this one..........I need a lot more evidence.

It's only Sony Music artists. Aerosmith, Ozzy, Michael Jackson, Springsteen, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Daft Punk, but my wish is for some Outkast and Rage Against the Machine tracks.

I love cars, but not really into Mustangs but I think this is a cool change of pace. Really cool that have Tanner Foust doing callouts he is a fantastic driver and very knowledgeable. My issue is quality control and code I think the theme should be a cool one even for non Mustang fans. Hope they do hand drawn art and not photoshopped cars everywhere. Wonder what the toys will be. Someone in my area order one please!

As a Trans Am owner [2002] this is a GIANT PASS for me.
My pin fund is exhausted anyway for the time being.

Would NEVER have anything Mustang in my house.

And as of 2:42 EST there is only 1 post on RGP about this and I was the one that started it.

This relates to this thread how????

Why does this scream NASCAR to me?

Hang in there, Smokey and the Bandit will be here soon enough.

I raise you one GT500

I'm all over this Pin

Maybe, but that tune is now so identified with the Harley crowd I'd be surprised.

Like somebody else said, all they have to do is sell them to Ford dealers.

Theme isn't that important and it wouldn't take much to spin off a "world" theme IE, Shrek, vs Family Guy, NASCAR vs Grand Prix. And really now, the problem with the games these days isn't that they are "too easy", it's that those that are crazy enough to buy games, will figure them out to the point where they nit pik the thing to death. Meanwhile Average Joe plays a game, gets overwhelmed, walks away because it's so complicated.

IMO, this will sell well. Hope it's a low content, easy to learn game. There's plenty other choices for the geeks already.

It's an opportunity for a telephone pole ball lock or scoop down to a lower playfield. What's the problem?

Not funny.

Super not funny.

If they guy was a jerkoff, that would be one thing.........but he was a genuinely nice guy.

He was doing 90 in a 45 mph zone. Am I supposed to have more pity for him because he was famous? Idiots die every day. Now I could have pointed out an opportunity to re-use those Angus under-playfields and have the roar of an engine as you knock the ball around the head, but that would've been rude.

I think I'll save my pity for people who don't have enough to eat, get a devastating illness through no fault of their own, etc... not rich idiots endangering the public.. not so much...

Too soon to joke regardless of the driver was racing or the car malfunctioned. I dug his movies even if he was a mediocre actor he seemed likable. Karma is a bitch.

"Daddy! The roof came off!"

"Thank you ..... Nice lady ...."

"The bandit takes of his hat for one thing. And one thing only.."

Forget the critics classic movies ... Smokey and the Bandit is the best movie ever!

He was the passenger.

He was not driving.

I assume you have never been a passenger in a vehicle where someone grossly exceeded the speed limit?

Nobody deserves to die, even people endangering themselves.

You don't have to feel sad over it, but you also don't have to be a dick either.

I was inspecting a head light assembly mold for the new Mustang yesterday. I'm not sure I'f I want to bring my work home with me or not. I will have to wait until I play it.

Will it be built Ford tough?

Working at a Ford Dealer who sells the Roush version RS to RS3 (675hp) I can say this will be a non pinhead buy for the most part. These guys buy the RS3 for weekend shows 62-82k and then buy a RS (v6) 36k for daily drivers.
Mustang nuts are just that nuts and will spend whatever to get what they want.

As for me I cant see going LE on this Pro maybe on the cheap.
I do agree this will be a wait and see not a preorder.
I cant see it doing well on route- but I do look forward to it more than say CCr - or AFMr.

Where's the code update LMAO!!!!

Kind of like pinheads, eh?

This might be my first NIB. I'd have to sell some stuff to make room and to afford it, but been a Mustang fan all my life.
