There are centuries of combined experience of auto OEMs setting up assembly plants that says his planned timeline is far more than ambitious, but rather foolish, ESPECIALLY considering their cash situation. Part tooling and assembly tooling takes years to design, make and tune-in, and that’s assuming a fully or nearly…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That’s a good one. Oh, Tesla. It’s certainly possible, but it’ll be terrible, and the will launch much worse than the Model 3. That’s assuming they make it to then.

Very important exception to this: Shelby GT350. That needs to be on TIGHT, else it will come off. I don’t remember the exact torque spec but it’s fairly significant, something around 35 ft-lbs.

If you do that then everything is reversed, not just one aspect.

He (correctly) stated in the movie that resources are finite. That’s why.

I got my start as a mechanical engineer doing this from 13 yrs old, and still have and race a couple of the newer electric 1/10th scale sedans.

Fools. Such short-term thinking.

Ford has a talent for making its turbocharged engines sound terrible. Mustang EB, Focus RS, Raptor, regular 2.7 or 3.5 F150, etc.
- Ford fan who wishes they’d spend some time on that

And they would be morons for it. I barely recognize the company I admired with Mulally at the helm.

Why not both (high revs and high torque)?

PP2 is a monster. Base PP2 (gets the nice big screen but cloth recaros, which are brilliant) is right at $46k. I wish I liked the 18 refresh front end more. Trust me you wouldn’t regret that decision. The Bullitt is kinda meh to me despite loving the color. I have guard green on my GT, which is pretty similar. I’d…

One thing to add: everyone still stalls occasionally. You goof and forget you’re still in gear and let the clutch out at a stop. You try to go for minimal slip taking off and end up killing it. It happens even to very experienced drivers, albeit very infrequently. I probably stall it once or twice a year.

Or get that GT350. Even a 15+ Mustang GT premium w/ performance pack will make you giggle. My guess is you wouldn’t lose anything in doing so. I daily mine and absolutely love it.

1999-2004 Ford Ranger, 4.0L w/ 5 speed M/T. Not step-side bed.

You’ll be glad you chose the GT350. Joyless is the polar opposite of that car.

Not when it looks like that. A 911 is a much better looking car, as is the AMG GT.

Uhhhh, what? LOL

I DD a ‘15 GT also. The car is super easy to use daily. Don’t worry about the clutch feel reported: a $15 replacement assist spring dramatically improves the predictability and feel, and it’s still a pretty light clutch. The V8 makes for easy stop-go traffic, as it’ll easily crawl without using the gas pedal in 1st…

The Pirellis are simply terrible if it’s not over 70 F. Once warm they are pretty good. The Michelins are better in every way, though, and aren’t chattering hockey pucks in cooler weather.

I agree with everything you just said, and the R is epic to drive...hard to describe how good it is.
