Any chance you have real world measured weights for each k-member? Nice work!

No. I’ve been told this and even read, it but doing more digging it appears that this is likely an amalgamation of varying scenarios over the years. The DMV would most likely still look at it from the standpoint of the original MFG model. Though that is not the case for earlier cars, which...

Shelby American cars get registered as Shelby. Not Ford. That technicality takes them beyond tuner status from a legal standpoint. I don’t agree all their cars are bad value. Some are, but I would actually say the new Super Snake is much better value than the prior model. There is a 45min video...

Old news im afraid. People buy into convenience and entertainment too easily these days. I bailed on social media and personal smartphones years ago, and you can do as suggested, simply pull fuses to disable telematics, GPS etc. Don’t buy smart devices of any kind. Use cash (what a concept…)...

It’s probably what others are suggesting. NA V8 with lots of mass, vs. lightweight turbo engine on a smaller vehicle and AWD. The latter will be quicker around town and off the line. It can use its power more efficiently, at low speeds. I drove an AWD 911 recently, and at nearly 600 lbs lighter...

How breathtakingly boring.

Well I have to hand it to the PP DH, those are good numbers. But that has got to be all tire. As far as I know (does someone else?) the DH didn't gain any special traction control, and it weighs only a few lbs off a CFTP GT500 so my assumption is that it's all down to the R-compound tire. Would...

I wish this was the case. Most likely they will simply guilt trip companies with arbitrary carbon metrics and legislate them into oblivion to force EV adoption. People will not have a say in it unless people actually refuse to buy. Problem is, they will be convenient and subsidized so people...

I agree there are similarities but I think this is overlooking basic product portfolios. The S and R are not road legal and as you state, are much more like the GT4 350R-C car you could order from Multimatic and that is how these will also be ordered. They are analogus to this product. Not...

Pretty sure it is not a GT350 replacement. The original articles around the announcement of the S and R stated that the S is just the R without the serialization, wheels, seam welding and fuel cell. Essentially, S was still a gutted car with a cage, nets and fire suppression gear. If still true...

The deposit just shows you are serious. Depending on how crazy your configuration a dealer may ask for more or less to reduce their risk of being able to sell the car if you back out (which many people do). As an example....the dealer I worked with wanted a 10k deposit (I gave them less, no...

I would say it is....HIGHLY...unlikely this is actually a GT500 in any way. Wheels, brakes and other components get mixed and used on mules all the time. The front grill is way too small for the type of air intake/cooling needed. There are quite a few people who claim that there are no contracts...

Ah now THAT...looks significantly better than prior photos. Still something off with the front end though. Proportions, angles or something. Can't verbalize it. There is some good design language here. I'll walk back some of my prior statements, although some may still apply to the DH model...

The design sorts of looks like a Camaro went drinking one night. It has a great time, and gets drunk with his buddies and develops a raport with a small, cute lady at the bar. The next morning they wake up together and terrified, the lady rushes to leave and the Camaro asks for a name and the...

Interesting thread here. Complex topics. I would be very careful about using the “studies have shown” argument. Or anything on the first 5ish pages of a search engine result. Those results are curated to provide a specific viewpoint. It’s not conspiracy, it’s how the algorithms work. Many...
