Orange Fury Metallic?

[OldMetal]

from the performance standpoint the trope of Mustangs hitting curbs started with the Coyote powered Stangs. The entry price was nice enough that people who were not prepared for the "absolute tire shredding performance" as you put it, were able to get into them. The older 4.6 didn't have that problem, because it didn't have nearly the same level of performance.

I wasn't clear in my comments that I was referencing the 13/14 GT500s having the best balance of performance (662 horsepower and 631 lb-ft of torque) while still maintaining a good amount of the early S197 retro look. I think Ford priced out a lot of the young/inexperienced drivers for the 13/14 GT500s.

The 13/14 Mustang GTs had 420 hp with 390 lb-ft of torque. Good power with a somewhat heavy car. But definitely enough power-to-weight to look like an idiot leaving a car show. But even the Fox body GTs could shred tires with only 225 hp because they were so light.

Anyway, I think we agree, the early S197s look great. The new Broncos look great. Now Ford just needs to add more color optons to the Broncos as there are enough white/gray/black vehicles on the road. Fun cars should have fun colors!

There was an announcement and this is basically what it said:

As of April 30, 2026, Ford announced that Orange Fury Metallic Tri-Coat is being discontinued for the 2026 Bronco (Job 2 production). This decision applies to all scheduled and unscheduled orders for the 2026 model year. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Here are the key details based on the latest 2026 updates:

• Discontinuation Details: Orange Fury (paint code NL) is removed from the 2026 Ford Bronco lineup starting with Job 2 production.
• Action for Buyers: Dealers were instructed to contact customers to change their orders, with a deadline of May 1, 2026.
• Automatic Replacement: Unscheduled Orange Fury orders will be automatically converted to Avalanche Gray.
• Excluded Models: Orange Fury was originally intended for the 2026 Bronco but was not made available for Heritage, Outer Banks, Stroppe Edition, or Raptor models.

Yuck!

I'm OK with the color, ... but no front swaybar disconnect is a hard "no" for me.

Exactly that! We need more Skittles-colored cars on the road. Toyota's got something kinda similar on their Tundras...

I couldn’t agree more. Fun vehicles should have fun color options. Bring on the Skittles color palette!
