1st gear: Way to go Tesla. Being transparent 1 year after the fact really isn’t being transparent at all considering how quick this world is to judge and react to what they hear. With all the scrutiny over self driving vehicle systems going on right now, not being quick to point out the facts is only going to hinder…

As the owner of an 2007 V70R I vote CP. This is priced slightly too high. Especially for an 04 with 150k miles. $6500USD max.

I thought you would approve ;-)

My desk at work. Front and center is my favorite but its really splitting hairs.

Something is not quite right here...

You know what....fuck it....NP. Other persons project aside, I could really get into a build with this.

I bet they are pissed at Tesla for citing the barrier and how it should have been replaced after a previous accident.

22's is sooo 2011...

I know what I can disclose and what I can’t. Not a guess.

I have a modded/tuned V70R. Figure 360hp on map 1 and 420 hp on map 2. I was on map 1 and was at a light with an F-150 with the 3.5 and 10 speed. I didn’t launch and short shifted through 1st but I was still on it a bit. Like half throttle. After getting into 2nd I noticed the F-150 passing me. I matted it and by the…

Tell me what I have “disclosed” that the public didn’t already know.

Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies.

Yep, you’re right. U611 it is and these are VP builds.

It makes perfect sense, Because I know the timeline and the SOP dates for a lot of Ford platforms. I say platforms because when you work in automotive, you rarely ever refer to the vehicles you work on by their actual names. It’s always their platforms, P552 this or U725 that. But now looking closer into it myself,…

What is U625 then? I always get different answers around the office. As a supplier, its not really necessary for us to know. It’s just nice to know.

Fair enough, we only had slightly more time to get U611 parts designed vs. U625 so I would image my initial statement still holds water. What is U625 then? Navigator? I’ve only recently found out what the D544 was and I did a lot of work on that....LOL

Well I did say “If”.....

If this is Fords U625 vehicle, as a supplier who has worked on it, I can say with certainty, the average person is not going to notice a difference between what is pictured here, and the version that will hit the showroom floors.

Small Turbo...

That front end really looks like a guy yelling at someone to me.
