Fun fact, this exact reason is the same reason NSW highway patrol dismissed Mustangs to replace their fleet of Ford XR8 and Holden SS highway cars.

I say this is a bullshit move by Ford. I read and article where the Camaro V6 1LE beat the Mustang GT Track Pack around a road coarse partly because the Mustang GT Track Pack would have its differential over heat and the V6 camaro had a differential cooler. Also the Camaro V6 shares its transmission with the big dog…

The tranny didn’t.

I went to BestBuy to purchase a TV.

To be fair though, the car lasted longer than 30 seconds.

I know the feeling. I hit limp mode a coupla times when I overheated, too.

The room full of Ford fans that has been loudly mouthing off about heat soaking Chevys for the last 2 years, just got real quiet.......

Does Ford get to hide behind the notion that their “track ready” Mustang wouldn’t experience the conditions that put these cars into limp mode during normal operations?

Yes... Yes, they do.

That’s a typo. The SS doesn’t have a ZL1 package, just the 1LE package that gives it the ZL1's suspension. The V6 also has a 1LE package that gives it the SS’s suspension.

It’s actually pretty cheap when you consider what it can do and what you would have had to invest in a car say 10 years ago to go as fast.

Do dive planes and a wing make every car better? Yes

I’d rather be able to go around corners AND fast in a straight line, so yeah Demon/Hellcat no.

Sorry Hellcat Demon, think I’d rather take one of these

This sounds really stupid. When do we start?

Win the lottery start a car collection that starts with a Ferrari F40.

The only thing I could think of is proper safety systems like cage, seats with harnesses, suits+hans for participants. Would add pretty high costs to these cars though, so unlikely to happen. You could argue that it would kill resale on the cars, but I’m sure they rack up lots of hard miles anyways so they probably…

no

I can’t believe the bravery of the instructors on these days. I just did a few laps with an instructor in a new Mustang. Within 30 seconds of meeting me we’re doing over 100mph and late braking for a hairpin. Now I couldn’t do that. My thoughts go out to his family. Stay safe out there people.
