Magic fucking space wizard in a robe and hand basket! Those damn vacuum hose routing diagrams with their thermal valves and solenoids and what not... Electronic fuel injection was a god send!

I’d be fine with that Cayman GT4! 

Camaros are reasonably priced we’ve just all been shit on by capitalism.

That is my gut feeling. As a brand they could have say a “stingray” which would be a front engine car and a “zora” mid engine car under the Corvette brand. 

Oh gawd! The first picture with the dude talking on the phone is like the man-bun of conversation. If there could be a dumber way to hold a phone and converse...

I wonder how bad dissolved copper is for you? Is it considered a “heavy metal” ? I’m sure like most things copper above a certain concentration is harmful but I don't remember it being particularly toxic other than to microbes. 

I plan on retiring to some “socialist hell hole” so I suspect I will as well. However it has around a 25-30% unemployment rate so I wonder how soon they will ban the ICE vehicle? 

The last time I really cared for Nissan’s Z-car. 

A solid non-jalop choice would be “my first love was a little red sports car” intoned the same way somebody says “I own a sedan” and couldn’t really tell you much about it except they got a good deal on it.

Mustang - specifically the 1970 Mach 1 with 428 and drag pack with Shaker in a medium or dark blue.

Man... what the world needs is another ZR1/Demon/GT500/GT2 et al that absolutely maxes out the chassis requiring a steep learning curve.

True - Ford could be penny pinching or don’t want to mess with the added complexity or some other reason. An E-diff would pay more dividends in performance than a hybrid injection setup would and its not like the coyote has a bad combustion chamber since they’ve been able to squeeze 12:1 on port injection with the

The problem with private equity is that is all they give a shit about. Squeeze a business for all it’s worth and burn it to the ground.

Okay I was skimming so I missed that bit when I posted but yeah this story had private equity firm written all over it or money laundering.

Must be another “Scarf Inc” business...

Okay I'm reading this as a whole bunch of snark and as social commentary on how stagnant wages since the 70's have made even practical and boring sedans expensive and almost like paying for say a luxury watch. 

I wonder if maybe the GT500 will finally get an E-diff as well? They might as well shoot for all the goodies (Mag-ride, DCT and E-diff) if they aren’t going to spec a manual trans for the car.

I don’t think the TR6060 likes to shift at very high rpm. The TR3160 in the GT350 even uses a gun-drilled main shaft to reduce weight and rotating mass IIIRC as one of the modifications for use with the 5.2 Voodoo. Still I don’t expect the 5.2 in the GT500 to rev like the 5.2 in the GT350 as you indicate it most

Why not? Literally a situation that took care of itself. Finally an abusive asshole that did the right thing for his girl and swallowed a bullet -win/win.

Oh man my coworker that insists of drinking sugary vegetable drinks is going to be upset since she says ground up sugary vegetables are better for you.
