min going to nerd out so hard if they do an aluminum frame double wishbone car and it turns out the GTD was the chassis test mule excuse he needed to push the program into engineering/design.
pray
they made no changes to the car since 2015, called it brand new raised the price $15,000 and locked the ECU down. Not a great winning strategy. A new screen isn’t a major selling point in the sports car segment.
While I do not approve of any hateful attacks on Shelby personnel. This means we are right over target letting them know the parts bin slop they are trying to sell for $120,000 is not welcome.
I get the passion. We are all Ford fans that want great things and see it succeed but the current method of add a bigger tire, new fenders, or supercharger cannot catch competition from newer more updated cars.
The gt500 with 110 more HP could barely, just barely, beat the zl1 1LE at a race...
I think the best answer is these companies need to put their collective effort into a better chassis. Partner with Ford to get aluminum frames made and cover crash testing 3-4 ways split across roush, saleen, rtr, Shelby , etc.
that would save 150-200lbs alone.
then do composite roof, hood...
I don’t know why you’re mad at me, man I’m not the enemy. I’m just telling you they need to be more creative. Do something better? Start a new company build a new car. I don’t know like I said I don’t have all the answers, but with this thing it’s not it.
This is the intellectual laziness I’m talking about by these aftermarket tuners. The work is already done. Ford did it. Do something better. Make a new car. Figure out how to take 500lbs out of the car, have McLaren make you a carbon mustang tub you bolt the rest of the car too, idk man start...
