Pretty sure that’s a Lambo, dude...

The article says nothing about the vehicle’s level of prep. Nothing. Automatic V6? Texas Mile Shelby? NHRA Pro Stock car with a borrowed license plate? Nothing. Oh, and compared to ANY super car, a Mustang is EXTREMELY slippery. Cd under .400 for a supercar is pretty much unheard of, and the Mustang is sitting around…

Curves? On the highway??? You’ve clearly never been to Oklahoma... or any of the states between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains...

In the interest of OpSec, I’ll just say that I work for a major auto manufacturer :)

I really hate the use of Cd for cars. If the section area isn’t also provided it doesn’t tell enough. They should give the equivalent area and be done with it.

Like I said, I’m an automotive aerodynamicist and I tend to think like everyone else is, too. A ZR1 Corvette has a frontal area a little smaller than a Mustang (not much), but my data says it’s Cd is around .450, which is totally normal for modern fast cars. Downforce always costs drag. Always. The Hellcat has a…

“Horsepower requirements go up at geometric rates as speed goes up, especially over 150mph.”

They have .65 over drive in 6th.

The premise is good but that video isn’t doing it any favors. Nothing scary about it.

I think you’re right. We used to have our disagreements about cars, etc. But politics didn’t get pulled into every discussion ad nauseum, constantly pitting left against right. And the number of lefties here these days is, from what I’ve seen, the majority. Sad.

The parent corp had a vested interest in the election outcome.

You gotta wonder. Jalopnik has turned so insanely liberal. What piss-poor writer would intentionally turn off half their potential readers in the first paragraph? I thought Jalopnik was about cars. I guess it’s now more about whiny millennials not getting the new toy they wanted.

I’ve really had it up to hear with the political crap here lately, especially the opening sentence. You guys need to chill out and get in touch. I’ll be back in a few weeks when you guys hopefully give it a rest.

Not as embarrassing as all the Liberals that are burning down their cities because the election didn’t go their way.

you stay classy.

“ the man who campaigned on a platform of racist economic nationalism.”

is this how it’s gonna be for the next 4 years? boo-hoo round-the-clock? sour grapes 24/7?

Actually, testing has proven them to be ineffective. According to laboratory testing the frequencies they advertise are not only unable to be heard by humans, but they’re also outside of the frequency range mule deer can hear as well. The study does say there is no recognized testing on the hearing of whitetails, but…

Can’t they, you know, move the deer crossings signs someplace safer so the deer know to cross there?......
