yup. Something like a 3.73 or a 4.10 can do wonders.

As someone who has given a 2013 a spin before, I agree with that assessment. It's not a bad car by any metric. It's just not sporty. It's a luxury car: Pricey, well equipped, good quality materials, quiet but enough power and handling to get the job done with ease but toned down to do said job without any drama or…

odd because a lot of people come away feeling impressed with the overall feel of my V6 mustang. Though admittedly to truely get the most out of it you gotta keep it working above 3k rpm where it starts to really shine. But my biggest gripe is gearing compared to many cars with the same power numbers. First is done at…

as GVish said, just get a few raptors. A Falcon can do quite a number at the pidgeon population and also acts as a deterrent that keeps birds away almost completely. It's also humane and Falcons are just cool.

Yup, the simplistic but elegant with quality materials interior is what I love best about my mazda3. Heck overall I love the car more than my more fun to drive Mustang. That's saying something! Mazda is stepping up to the playe lately.

Red is an awesome color okay??

yup that was my though. Im like: wait how the hell did the trai... Oh it wasnt properly secured to the ball(I always do a test lift when I hitch my trailer to make sure it wont come off when ive connected it, to be sure that it's in there snug) and then noticed the severe lack of chains. Sigh.

as a boat owner(well jetski). I'm constantly amazed at the amount of stupidity people commit to get a boat out of the water when every time I look at them and think to myself, he could just do X and be done with it in 30 seconds. It's bot rocket science, far from it, but you wouldn't believe it by spending just 15…

I got to try every single car in Mazda's current inventory this weekend at a small event they held near the Ottawa airport. We were told pretty much to have fun with any car of our choosing on a short autocross course. The Miata chassis lived up to the hype though i don't fit in one with the top up. The big kink in…

I'd of loved the V8. But in Canada my V6 cost more than the V8 does in America, and that's after a 4K rebate. Didn't really feel like spending 44+K on a single car at the time and going from an Alero with 170hp to a V8 with 412 didn't seem too, how shall I say this, prudent with my heavy foot. So I'll just accept that…

Hey it's my first high-output manual car. Had to learn that lesson eventually. As for the current mustang's handling cred I suggest you look up car and driver's 2011 lightning lap where the lowly V6 mustang trounced the hyundai genesis V6 and subaru WRX by a good margin and tied the 350Z with track pack while being…

heated seats barely add any weight at all. The mustang pretty much uses two square cloth pads per seat(seat cushion and lower back) that have a thin wire/heating element running through it. It's just that, a simple as hell wiring harness and a likely small and cheap electronic board that controls the whole thing when…

I'm having a brown moment just thinking about that one.

nailed it about RWD being more taxing, all the more reason why modern Ferraris and Mclarens need the electronics.

Yup I know that feeling. That example that happened in the winter was me taking an onramp at full throttle like an idiot while it's blistering cold out and shifting too aggressively from 2nd to 3rd at 62mph. The rear end snapped hard in one direction and then the stability control tried to catch it. It then swung hard…

"In the Miata, flappy paddles and traction control are electronic annoyances. In an F12, they're your guardian angels."

This tech would be insanely efficient in my home province of Quebec because our roads are so sh*tty we could likely envy some 3rd world countries.

Lets see: Mustang 32k, Mazda3 after loss taken on honda fit trade-in about 32k as well( O Canada!). 3K spent on an old beater civic including repairs. That's $67k in purchase price alone.

Good read as always and as others have said, good redemption to weekend drag racers!

Do it! That would be epic!
