I'll see your dollar and raise you 25 large. Whats the worst that fire could have done? Maybe replace the box, tailgate and tail lights? Perhaps a wiring harness or two. C'mon....jalops, you can do more damage to one of those things taking it over the wrong trail. Given the fact that everybody selling one of those…

Neutral: Last car. For sure! Its the most refined version of a vehicle. New cars tend to have teething issues (although not as much in today's manufacturing world). Then there's the price, with dealers wanting to make room for the new model. You can get a great deal on a well refined vehicle all because the rest of…

And in other news. Police pursuits are on the rise here in Seattle while the apprehension rate of said asylants has decrease to the number of those who decided to flee on bicycle.

Because Europeans on average, care more about cornering and are more skilled drivers than North Americans. Hence, they get a more capable set up. I don't like it any more than you do. That doesn't mean haven't accepted that our average North American drivers aren't as concerned with how a vehicle manipulates a corner.…

It scares me how many people on this site would stray away from a vehicle because of spark plugs. I own a 5.4 that was also prone to the spark plug issue. As I have the mechanical ability and diligence to check and change my plugs, it has never been an issue. There was a time when plugs didn't last 42 trillion miles.…

Nope, that's Ford aerobird T-bird all day long. Honda stole it from Ford and now Ford is taking it back.

The 5.4 4v found in the 2000 cobra R was unlike anything before or after it. The only thing it resembles is the ford GT engine. But that was supercharged and dry sumped. I worked for SHM when one of these things came in for a cage and a exhaust. It had less than 60 miles on it. Our baseline dyno showed 377hp at the…

You say the weight limit of the car is going up 100lbs. The engine, how much more is it going up? They only weighed about 200lbs before. The new 1.6 turbos will have to weigh over 300lbs in order to even make this discussion a thing.

IRS is the way to go! For the small % of those that will use it as a drag car, this isn't what they wanted to see. Still, swapping in an 8.8 or 9" isn't all that hard. For the rest of those that will use this as anything other than a drag car, greener pastures are on the horizon.

This is where you employ stainless steel button head cap screws. Bling bling!

Well done Ford! Subtle, tastefull, modern, now let me see it in the steel and give me the specs.

I'm hoping in the 325-335hp and 315-325ft-lb range. That would distance it from the base model 3.7 a little more. At least it would in the numbers the marketers use to sell the cars. Wonder if the weight savings on the 4-pot over the 6 will be considerable? C'mon Thursday.

Not sure why, but I found that last shot of the wheels locked to be the coolest part?

This whole war by dealerships against Tesla is crap. Dealerships are acting like children. Maybe just make sure you run a good dealership selling good product and if you loose, you loose. Don't cry about it. Accept it. Its business. Just because you prospered before, and got comfortable with it, doesn't mean you're…

If Ford did to the mustang what they just did to the focus in it being a refined global vehicle, I could see Ford doing quite well with the new one. Then, tack on 50 years of heritage to help persuade those that "have always loved American muscle" but never had the access to it (until now) and I could see shit going…

The only way you could do this for less is if you are the builder. A lot of time went into this thing and time is money. No way in hell could you reproduce this for 33k otherwise. Not a vehicle for me, but its still a nice price for what it is.

Very true. Its all bout buoyancy. The force that is equal to the the weight of water displaced by the boat. To put it another way, take a boat in water, cut it half horizontally at the water level. Now if you were to measure the volume of whatever is left below the water level, filled that volume with whaterever youre…

They keep resurfacing it though. That's gotta count for something? I mean, it doesn't seam all that bad until rush hour or a Jays game, when you stop on the thing and realize the how badly cracked the concrete barriers are. Additionally, I choose not to look up when I walk underneath it. Ignorance is bliss right?
