I am with you 100% especially looking at the prices Ford charges nowadays…Its cynical to call a basically 10 year old car new generation but at least the quality and reliability should be alright but looking at paint , cheap plastics or fake carbon fiber that cracks , rattles , batteries that...
Cheap interior or not for 99% of the Mustang enthusiasts the GTD is irrelevant because a car for $350K is unaffordable…The people who can afford it probably buy a Ferrari 296 for the same money 🤣 But Farley has no clue looking at electric stuff that costs money and does not sell or all the...
I dont think think oil has anything to do with it just like the Hemi tick caused by bad lifter rollers eating cam lobes around 120K miles or any GM V8 whose cylinder deactivation / lifters can eat cams/brake valve springs from day one…Just change the oil at recommended intervals and hope for the...
I dont know any Lotus that is faster or handles better than a 911GT3…Watch Randy Pobst lap Willow Springs which is a hp track going faster than he did in a C8 Z06 which has 150 hp more! As for reliability 911 engines are reliable like clockwork ran hard on the track while Toyota has problems...
I dont know if the Garage 56 Nascarmaro had the aerodynamics of a brick because all they do in Nascar is run fast in a straight line..The n/a V8 5.8 was said to make close to 700 hp and the car is light but it was shocking to see how low it scored on this type of international level as it was...
If you spend half a million with tax and markups I think the interior is an insult and shows that they dont even care except for filling their own pockets…I mean it is one thing to charge a lot of dough for a car modified with a CF body and a chassis that employs a transaxle a la Porsche 928...
Absolutely 👍 The reason Ford , GM & Dodge stayed with supercharging because the GTD,ZL1,HC where never intended to race except for the 1/4 mile or 20 min trackday sessions that could even be too much for the C7ZO6 that would heatsoak so bad that Randy Pobst could not even get one lap out of it...
Its pretty sad that Ford makes the Coyote for 14 years now and has done nothing to fix the noise…Reminds me of the government that put up signs warning of bad pavement instead of fixing the roads…LOL
I hear you but there is a reason that no racecars use the WW1 technology of supercharging today anymore…Nobody knows if it overheats but for sure it will use too much fuel ⛽️ and spend too much time in the pits…But the GTD is intended for the few who collect , have the means for expensive track...
I think looking at the pictures the Charger is not a bad looking car taking some clues from the original and I like the practical hatchback and option for AWD…BUT without the option for a V8 which is the heart & soul of Dodge sales will be slow…IMHO The inline-6 turbo will make good power &...
I love all cars with a V8 & a manual as also good old road movies 👍Especially when I was a kid…Easy Rider , Vanishing Point , Convoy , American Graffity and Gone in 60 Seconds had definitely an impact on my innocent soul 🤣
Think about this…The best selling vehicle in the US is the Ford F150 with a average transaction price of $68000…That is roughly $75000 with tax & license 😳 Ford sold twice as many F150 as BMWs get sold in this country at a similar average transaction price of $72000 ! (According to caredge) 80 %...
You crack me up…Obviously you are not a V8 guy otherwise you would not worry about the sound system , consider a Prius that comes auto only or would drive a Mustang with a 4 cylinder that as fake as a Camaro V6 or Challenger with a Pentastar…🤣 Its funny to me how some people would even cross...
Its not too fast but probably too slow to race because of the SC adding too much weight over the front , creating too much heat and causing too many pit stops due to excessive fuel consumption…Look at the Garage 56 Nascar ZL1 Camaro that came in 39th at last years 24 hours of Le Mans…It had a...
Sub 7 is nothing to write home about for a race car when you see the lap record of 5.19 set by the 919 Hybrid Evo from Porsche…But first we have to see what the number really will be.Horsepower does not mean too much on the ‘Ring as you need a car that has traction and is neutral as in...
It will be interesting to see at least how the GTD will be doing if they really put in on the starting line in Le Mans…As the supercharger is much easier for Ford to give the engine more power as in engineering and $$$ compared to turbos on a V8 but it will come a at cost as in Heat and fuel...
Interesting ! Were you working on set ? Makes more sense to destroy a Camaro than a Challenger even if it was not the holy grail with the 426 Hemi…Good times/movies back then compared to the crap Hollywood has been putting out the last 20 or so years ! Funny going from Ford being the leader on...
These recalled KIAs have faulty seat switches so their motors can overheat…So its not as dramatic as it sounds ! Anyways you Ford brand loyalists will get more outside traffic from people who drove other brands that threw in the towel unfortunately…Pointing out what needs to be done to attract...
