mid engine convrersion isnt as hard as many would think. the problem is additional cost. in fact i recall a shop creating a mid engine lambo engined mustang just some years ago.

exactly. the S7 was there own marque. they need another (which ive heard is in the works) The Raptor was unfortunately never produced but such a car could be built from the base of even a mustang. As was the Lotus Exige was the base for the Venom.
Saleen has always created a great product. Possibly the best of all the Tuners in the Mustang genre. Aside from struggles prior, there cars have always been a huge leap above the stock Ford product, though some with a considerable addition price tag. years ago many people didnt appreciate the type of performance…
Bold but not a bad move either.. after all its been what 9 years since there last real win.. at anything!? As much as we really dont like the snobbery of Ferrari. they are viewed as the quintessential Formula one team. Without them on the grid it wouldnt kill F1 (as much as they'de like to think so.) instead it…
Talk about dropping the ball. The Viper is actually a great car, and well deserved to be seen and developed in racing as its the only real way to properly develop a roadgoing performance car. Heck they did it years ago. But the overwhellming problem with the Viper program is the people behind the program, not…
there will be haters but the reality is simply the car is not only hot its the first truly respectable factory mustang since the boss 302. I couldnt stand the old ironblock Shelby gt500. straight line performance is fun but a modern car must do a heck of a lot more even if it means sacrificing straight line speed. …
put it like, this... first you start with a great naturally aspirated v8 engine, oh with 8200 rpm revs. THEN think what happens when you slap on a supercharger, or for that matter twin turbo's... yeah... Its far better the car doesnt come with a supercharger because the aftermarket will be tripping over…
Ok. lets be clear on the Mustang / M4 topic. First and farmost a BMW typically has better quality than a Ford. Thats a given.. BUT its also true that both BMW and Mercedes have deliberately watered down the quality of there sub luxo level cars. Dramatically. And Ford has dramatically improved the quality of the…
Aside from all the whooplah this car looks very VERY B'd A'zz , Far better than the outgoing model. sure i do like the old car's vintage facia, but they really never did it in the best way. it always looked very.. rental watered down. This car looks modern but mean as well, something the old stang was sorely…
automatics are lame... and there drivers are worst.. always has been. its always been created for people that dont really REALLY 'DRIVE' . Manuals are the essence of linking oneself to the machine. Flappy paddles and automatics are like video games, plug and play. The one and only drawback to manuals is wear…
F1 is about technology but its a fact that F1's sound is those screaming v8's, a sound that even some roadcars have tried to mimik via squared pistons and tweaked exhausts. Indeed the tech has now moved beyond the signature scream but one must ask would the future of F1 be little more than the static electric…
On one end this is cool and all, but to be honest, i think theres just too much dredging up old by-gone era icons, and im pretty much tired of it all. Ever since that 60's generation (which i admit was a great one on various points) but what we have here is simply too much glorifying that one generation, and catering…
I think they're red-necking the 2015 a-little too soon.
Personally ive always like the TT to a degree. But it was one of those cars that sorta attracted the more- Prick'ish type person. The young tech yuppie with a good amount of doe but no so much of a car guy to go Porsche. The TT seemed to be lock between a rock an RS and a niche hardplace. But now its finally grown…
The LFA was everything good and bad at the same time. Its performance was spot on for what it needed to accomplish, but its looks was typical japanese suedo sporty-car. In fact am i the only who noticed the LFA looks little more than a more serious rendition of a late model honda Celica. But its interior was…
Ford shouldve either canned there designers or the aging head designer who apparently couldnt move his design taste beyond the 1980's. The problem with these companies is entrenched talentless visionless executive heads. If a company puts out bad designs its becuase the people are creating and accepting bad…
It aint cheap in the states but it does have a sorta baby supercar look. And one could almost excuse the cost in that its a unique car. you wont see doppelgangers on the road. but the elise biggest problem is its size. first you see it from the outside and say, ok its a small car. then when you open the door and see…
