Speaking of using established badging....

Would hate to see Ford make a wheel and stripe job out of the RS. While I dont really car for trucks/cuvs/suvs. They should at least maintain the substance with the name. An Edge RS shoukd be a serious bit of machinery worthy of the moniker.

Well you know it takes money to maintain roads and it takes money to employee competent people who can adequately repair and maintain roads....

2nd Gear - I’m going to hazard a guess and say its the same reason Ford complained about a billion dollar hit in earnings.

Zombies?????

And rapid swap battery packs! Would be pretty cool to see these cars run say a 500 lap race with tire and battery swaps. Bonus points if they can run the same or faster compared to the ICE cars. 

Meh... as long as you can get a V8 car along with the EB and Hybrid nobody will complain.

I always have a hard time feeling bad for DeLorean. Its not so much the drug bust as it was the way he treated people. When he divorced his wife as I understand it Delorean went out of his way to make her life hell and the guy was famous for calling up say a furniture store and getting furniture then paying when and…

Except for Mustang & truxk/suv/cuv enthusiasts the rest of the blue oval guys want the high margin vehicles to pick up the tab. ST cars might have squeaked by and probably the RS as well but the base cars were either no or negative margin vehicles. 

Let the Saudi’s eat cake! Although to be honest Teump is probably sitting in a fucking metric shittonne of Saudi oil and that Badtsrd doesnt give two fucks about the US or his constituents so pissing off every other oil supplier ( like Canada ) is probably part of his con game.

Iwas talking to a buddy at work about the LA Times article on the time Munroe & Associates did a tear down on the Model 3 and saw a bunch of amatuer level manufacturing and design mistakes with the body and chassis but... they are at the top of the game with batteries and motors and have some really novel electronics.

Or hell, just park it and live a modest millionaire lifestyle but yeah with that kind of dough its not hard to make money since people looking to make money off your money are going to seek you out. 

fuck it, worth shot! Not too worried about it though since I’m not counting on the lottery to retire... well until Trump fucks the economy up so bad it tanks for like 20 or so years but plan B is to become a heroin dealer if that happens.

The S550  chassis? If that’s what your asking, Hackett killed the next gen car so the S550 soldiers on. 

No, its a 5.2 with a cross plane crank. Ford doesn’t like the way the flat plane crank is loaded (axial loading IIRC) in an F/I engine.

305/315 most likely. That’s what the GT350R runs. No reason they can’t do that with the GT500.

The GT500 is just fluff for bench racers - nothing wrong with that mind you its what a GT500 is for. The GT350 is Ford’s track car and they put together a really balanced package with that.

They will go on sale in 2019 as a 2020 model and will be sold along with the final year GT350 making it the first time two Shelby products have been sold concurrently. 

GT350R... a really well balanced car with the right amount of power for the chassis plus not too expensive to maintain plus not a lot needs to be done with the car. Pretty much cal up Watson Racing order a roll bar, get a harness for the driver's seat and your done.
