Well if god wants me to believe in him then he’s just going to have to strike Sessions down with a debilitating disease where the consumption of marijuana and its derivatives would provide serious quality of life improvements (although I think the bastard would ignore them out of sheer spite).

Lutz was head of product development - Rick Wagoner was at the helm when GM went bankrupt.

Or when their goodwill runs out. You can only be bankrolled for so long on hopes and dreams.  

This is a different story though since the money is for charity and not a bunch of drunk bastards loading up their bank account with a second mortgage looking to score a “future investment vehicle” ( no pun intended ). The buyers going in realize or should realize that having the first production model is no guarantee…

Every Shelby Mustang has along with the Boss IIRC so as far back as the S-197 cars at least. Ford also does a few one-offs as well.

I’ve experienced MFT and Sync and didn’t have problems with either in base and advanced forms. I suppose YMMV but I didn’t find the Ford system bad at all.

There is some kernel of truth there. I see it everyday on my ride to work and the inept bastards that clog the road going 5-10 under the limit. They are simply afraid to drive.

Just book a room in solitary and make sure to leave the cot and sheets in the closet and suicide will be limited to the much more entertaining “smash your head into the cell wall or floor” action.

Looking as far down the road as possible should be one of the first things taught in driver’s ed. Too bad most people tend only to look at the space immediately in front of them.

Hmmm.... I’d say it was the 288 GTO. I was fortunate enough to have finally met one in Maranello a few years ago.

Fair enough

Take everyone’s second-favorite spy plane, the U-2 Dragon Lady.

Would you spend 70-75k on a Mustang that couldn’t beat the 65k Camaro?

Just as point of reference an 86 with 400 horsepower would put it in the same p/w catagory as a standard Shelby GT350 with the convience package (6 way power heated/cooled seats mostly but big infotainment interface and so on). So your talking a mid twelve second car for most people and maybe kissing 11's with a…

Ford needs to be able to sell the bread and butter cars at a reasonable price. If Ford could make its substantialy lighter at that price point they would have since it would have paid dividends in economy and performance but unlike its chief competitor its on a bespoke chassis.

Ford isn’t playing in that sandbox. They are going after the ZL1.

Well that and the S550 Mustang is 150-200 pounds heavier. The 2019 GT500 is going to be damn close if not completely over 4,000 pounds with all the supercharger gear on board and I suspect having to switch over to a TR6060 manual ( no way in hell the MT82 or TR3160 will hold up to the abuse for long). If Ford doesn’t…

Not that hard, I drove the slightly more primitive 07-09 model with the usual bolt ons. The car made 630 horsepower to the rear wheels all day long on a 90 degree day and I drove it all four seasons. The only time it was really sketchy was when I got lazy and ran drag radials for a few months.

Occassionally you see “shaft horsepower” IMO its just an equivalency so that lay people can wrap their mind around how much power something is making or takes to move or whatever.

The rest of the replies pretty well summed things up but from a technology standpoint I think the only part of the current Camaro that is really a gen ahead is the e-diff since the Mustang still uses a Torsen to provide differential bias in the GT350 and GT PP cars and probably some of the materials used in the…
