It seems to have sparked some discussion.
With a fair amount of engine braking, it can keep all four wheels from locking under braking. It can help with control on snow in those circumstances, depending on how/if your differentials lock under those circumstances.
I still remember Graham Rahal on, I think, Letterman. (It’d be the obvious one). He and Ashley were on an early date, and he tried the typical “race car driver” line on her...
Wasn’t that what happened with Ashley as well? I mean, not with Graham, obviously.
Awesome final photo set, there!
I think all of these are parked on Rodeo Drive right now...
That’s what I see in my ‘18 F-150 w/ the 3.5L twin turbo and 10-speed. If I keep it to the highway speed limit (70mph here) I get 20. Go up to the speed of traffic (80) and it drops to 17. As soon as I tow something I’ll get 13 with an open trailer and 9-10 with an enclosed trailer (VERY wind dependent on that…
So... Short Wheel Base is Best Wheel Base?
The car looks like that and only has 90,000 miles? Ouch.
I was looking for this...
The parking brake only counts to remove it from contention. They are a pain to actuate and just get in the way.
I’ve got “Emerald Aisle” so it was in the line-up, and I grabbed it instead of a damn Versa.
I also suspect that because my first, oh, twelve cars didn’t have them when I learned to drive, I’ve just never taken to them. Unlike, say, someone who learned to drive when W or Obama was in office.
Not really a complaint, I just don’t use the redundant steering wheel controls. I have a big-ass knob on the dash to control volume, and another on the dash for tuning. Good enough for me.
You are probably right. In order of Most to Least likely to turn the wheel: Mustang, Camaro, Challenger. “Most Likely to Be Found at a Drag Strip” is the reverse order.
I had a regular Challenger as a rental. The things feel like they are a whole size above a Mustang or Camaro to me. And those are the car’s natural competition, no?
I’ve got a couple of cars with steering wheel controls, and a couple that are old, and the wheel only turns the car. But, even after putting 90K miles on my Volvo, I still routinely change the radio station when I was to go up or down in volume. In my F-150, I’m still very likely to reset my fuel consumption display…
I’m not a fan of steering wheel-based controls. Too small, too identical between different functions (radio, phone, cruise control). Give me a knob, in a fixed location, for volume please.
