So basically Ford came clean about how much power the gen III is really knocking down. 470-480 was my estimate looking at both the trap speed and 1/4 mile times the A10 cars were getting and figuring a 4000 lbs race weight (driver + fuel + loaded GT).

I like the lower fascia treatment better. The standard 2018 lower fascia looks like they took that duct tape inspiration a little too far.

Buick G-body my interwebz associate.

Yeah Met Guard was a fantastic color. I had a 2015 GT PP in Metallic Guard until a kid in a Civic made the ultimate sacrifice and hit me head on in my lane before I could devastate my local C&C.

In vino veritas...

So faster than a 918 or 720S

That would be discrimination on the basis of sex. It would work for a little while but a discernable pattern would be there and lead to much bigger troubles down the road.

Swatting should already be covered under several laws up to and including manslaughter I would think and revenge porn site operates have faced jail time at least and I cannot remember if any of the clowns submitting the revenge porn have been incarcerated.

Damn... Saudi Arabia is allowing women to drive and Turkey decided it wants to go backwards in time.

I know Virginia and Alabama might be anomolies but there is a chance in 2020 he might end up being a 1 term president.

Well if you’ve got some measure of talent the US is a great place to make money and that’s about it.

Indeed, I believe most of the issues with fallout occur due to the radioactive debris being lifted up into the atmosphere and raining back down rather than debris from the bomb proper.

Tires So Shiney... its the tires...

Live in South Eastern VA?

Same here (although in the interest in disclosure I’m so over the wide body styling statement especially in combination with the stance movement) since I miss the Lightning.

I’m a hateful creature and want the world to feel my pain!

I’m not convinced Oprah would make a good candidate. As I remarked on a friend’s FB page she is a celebrity and a business person and the anecdotal evidence is stacked against her in that regard. Especially with no record of public service.

Or just buy that 35k car that is pretty comprehensively equipped and will run a day in and out hot or cold - rain, snow or shine - just add gas, change the oil, and buy brakes and tires for the next 200,000 miles or so.

Hit Bud’s Creek (MIR) in the fall or spring - track prep is always spectacular and DA is about as good as your going to get outside of Death Valley on a cool day and you’ll hit 11's in an A10 car with a half tank of gas and a driver in the 175-200 pound range in a loaded GT.

S-197 and later cars no roll cage required until you hit the 9's as others have mentioned. SN95/New Edge and below and you need a bar when hitting the 10's or maybe even as high as the 12's? I can’t remember since I haven’t had to mess with that since 2007.
