Wouldn’t there rear break loose at the start not while the car was well under way? It did not seem they were really trying, just making some noise.

I think that is a Roush Mustang. They don’t add an LSD unless you specifically ask for one, even then it is not adequately aggressive to match the power of the car. In fact, Roush is infamous for not only really doing engine upgrades. That is because they would rather spend the money on engine upgrades than anything…

Does it have a Limited Slip Differential (LSD)? All these crashes look like the diff suddenly dumping to one side. If so, then there is likely a class action law suit brewing FORD needs to address IMMEDIATELY.

Easy answer: People paid a LOT more attention to driving back then. Less tech. Less overall stress. No cell or smart phones.

The “Malaise Era” was 1978-1982, in the US. It was not the whole 1970s. Muscle cars and performance period suffered in the 1970s because of the gas crises of 1972 and 1976. Gas prices either shoot way up or there was no gas. Thus, gas eaters like muscle and sports cars just did not sell. Govt regulations to reign in…

Top speed, oddly, is supposed to only reach 186 mph (a Porsche Panamera GTS will go faster)...

Sorry. Don’t sweat it. The second part was aimed at people who would take sides.

“Lead, follow, or be left behind.” No point in getting mad or snooty, depending on which side of this you are on, about it.

I don’t know what most people are thinking , but as a kid I was taught by my parents and school teachers to LOOK BOTH WAYS before crossing the street and then remain aware of traffic while crossing.

It’s a automobile not a poorly bred dog. That Seven slotted grill is JEEP’s pure and simple.

Maybe, but I doubt it. This is a relative kid being stupid in the face of a very gray future.

Nothing currently beats hydrocarbons for energy density, particularly in vehicles. Battery Electric Vechiles (BEVs) are not going to make any really big strides, even with technological advancement, in the market for a long while. The first real adoption of BEVs will be for vehicles on limited tracks and operating…

Don’t sweat it. You have 20 years before you have to worry about worrying. 

Chrysler seems to be one of the few still selling heavily to day-rentals. That just needs to stop. GM is “pulling back from the bottle” and it is doing them a LOT of good.

Jeep isn’t really going for “rigged simplicity” anymore, expect with the Wrangler (maybe. The future is pretty murky). FCA is pushing JEEP to be very straightly “America’s Land Rover”. They should still err more to their core identity, being rough-roading, off-road capable (Debateable but still...), vehicles.

Having a beat up, rusted out, bicycle, with a half seized solid chain, would be having the better ride, at this point.

He does know that Oval racing is a LOT harder than it looks. It is a race of precision placement, down to teh millimeter, consistency bording on mechanical, and still finding a way to be better than the dozens of guys, and yet it doesn’t always add up. The fastest guy in qualifying may be the slowest guy on race day.…

Mrs. Barra has enough to deal with in GM. She does NOT need the shit storm of Washington Politics, especically coming on with such a, rightly or not, divisive candidate.

VR and FPS seems to be a match they are made for. It would be interesting to see how gamemakers reconcile aiming and player POV when they don’t match up.

I’m still hoping the C7 ZR-1 has not that much more power (720hp. 750hp tops), but produces and delivers it differnetly. This via a KERS or some performance Hybrid system
