you know i was excited about the ecoboost until i read the car and driver review. The ecoboost has more hp than my 2012 v6 mustang with a stick and a lot more torque yet in stock trim the performance gap is non-existant for straight line shenanigans. People can bash the v6 all they want but so far the 0-60 times are…

hey if i end up being wrong about driveability then by all means that would be awesome. But I agree with everything in your last paragraph though I have to add that some people want their track cars to also be their street cars so that's one thing to keep in mind.

i gotta add that there's a difference between prefering manuals and imparting judgemental comments about people who want automatics: "if you buy an automatic you're not right in the head" and "buy a manual, be a man". So you prove yourself to be judgemental and sexist. Instead of just accepting that, you know, people…

i never said it was impossible it's just more of a hassle than a lot of people want to deal with. I don't mind wrestling my machine if it's a track or weekend toy. I don't however want to bust my balls with a daily driver. And you wanna know a difference with 700hp in 2015? A lot more low end torque thanks to modern…

i can vouch for that. My times this year were half a second slower at the strip because of wheelspin. Need new tires.

Here's why the auto would be the one to have: Manhandling 700+hp and all that torque on a rwd car with a heavy-duty(read: picky/finniky/tempermental) clutch is going to be a ton of work and require some zen. Moreso in the rain. There's a lot of power on tap and it means civilized smooth driving with the stick is going…

Wait, you were in 2nd grade back in the area of the year 2000?? I was 12 in 2000! I thought I was still young but guess not!

Now I want his book as well.

I'd say any fox body or newer mustang should make the list. With the exception of the pre-3.7L V6 models. The Mustang aftermarket is likely very close to being as insane as the one from Honda. With a certain web store dedicated to mustangs that has everything you could ever dream of.

Would be great but apparently(though someone correct me if i'm wrong) there's a law in the books that requires engines in the USA to be able to run with 87 octane.

I solved that annoying problem by just not watching cable news ever. Radio news is the worst because the local stations buy into all the viral "news" that circulates on facebook without ever fact checking. I've embarassed a few local hosts a few times on their pages by providing them with proof that their news reports…

Never understood why they stick to that system, especially for weather. 0 as the freezing point of water is, you know, more logical than 32 but I degress.

oops

I... I... I actually like this revision! It's stylish but simple and for once I was able to figure out what everything does without needing to click. The at a glance notification list is a nice touch. AND I now have a handy list of related sub-blogs. Good call adding that under the Kinja Logo. This might be something…

Noticed the mobile version. I like.

you're still looking at a 10k price difference which is absurd. a lot of "performance" cars are about 5k more expensive in canada even when you account for them being the same trim level.

Add like 30% to the cost of the car and you're looking at the cost before taxes most likely. Just like how a Mustang GT is $29k in the US and starts at like $39k BEFORE taxes here in the land of maple syrup.

Car purchase consulting. I think you just pointed me in the direction of a great business idea for my area! The whole bit was informative and that is completely true about how higher volume dealerships are a lot less flexible and "dealable".

I'm forever stealing the comeback for the rest of my existance.

myself included. God the s2000 was a sweet car.
