Ford Performance Heritage

I think leaving lots of room for the aftermarket is a super wise marketing move. Cost of entry lower and tons of press as each upgrade comes out.

I think it also builds huge brand loyalty. I remember back when GM products were everything to most car guys, primarily because the aftermarket was there in spades helping them build their dreams. Being a Ford guy was a tough road to hoe for a long time. Thankfully SVO came to the rescue and the aftermarket followed.

So I guess 5 of 5 will show a lot.

Mark, Raj, Jim and Joe are essentially the 4 most powerful people at Ford Motor Company.

The question you have to ask yourself is if you think they'd all sit down for a 5-part YouTube video if it was just about a Mustang derivative...
