Ford promises to build manual V8 Mustangs until they're illegal

Automation? Fun as heck to blow stuff up lol.

I've only done Sandbox mode and have never seen anything blow up besides engine failures. Can you blow up stuff in the Campaign?

I dunno, I spent 99% of my time trying to build engines, I blow them all up lol, There is a whole driving part I guess and you can somehow export your cars to beam drive somehow?

That's correct. Driving your creations in Beam.NG is the best part, I think. Not sure how accurate the driving physics are in Beam.NG though.

Ah, ok that is cool, I'll have to install Beam.NG and give it a try, just trying to finally beat witcher 3 these days.

Is my profile if you want to add, been a while since I used steam for social but hey.

I wonder if they have a profile for the ecoboost, as much fun as the v8 is I remember back in '16 all my buddies in Kelowna were buying ecoboost mustangs and just -cranking- the hp out of them with boost!

Thanks for the heads-up. I know next to nothing about engine design despite having a computer game that focuses a lot on that and car design in general.

No worries, it's one of those things you think more about if you've played with a soldering or welding torch. When you have the gas flow on max, they're much harder to light. So when you have this undersquare engine like the Ecoboost where you shape the engine around how fire likes to move, you get an energy advantage from more even combustion.

Of course the downside is you have an engine you can't rev to 7000+ RPM because it would rip itself to shreds. That's why the Ecoboost has more torque than horsepower. The small turbo just keeps it in peak torque through the power range (2000 ~ 5000 rpm).

It's a fairly easy engine to work on, and the engine bay was built for a V8 so there's room for days. Everything is laid out reasonably well by the Ford engineers too, it's one of the few cars I don't dread tinkering on, because I know I can solve most issues in under an hour.

All of these crazy restrictions will be gone with the next administration, also gas will probably be half the price it is now.
