Too bad Ford didn’t offer Magride from the get go! It helps a lot with potholes. I’ve had a few pothole moments where I was worried it would bend the rim and the shocks softened right up to avoid damage!

Linelock is for the ritualistic funeral when the tires wear out and you send them on to the hereafter in a smoky burnout meant to appease to the great tire god in the sky St. Michelin.

The nose is long since that is a classic pony car cue - long hood/short deck plus the car’s fastback (or I guess “sports roof” in old Ford speak) roof line kills any chance at practical dimensions.

Because P51

To be fair most of the videos I see are old jackasses in a GT500 and at least that one dude in the blue GT350 plus that Mustang Week vid that turns up quite often seems to have a lot of old heads tearing up their cars.

Well you know most people realize that’s a callback to the Mustang’s namesake. Despite the horse on the grill the Mustang name wasn’t inspired by a horse.

Well If HP/dollar is your only metric then yeah the Challenger is a deal but the extra 6k gets you a way better chassis and set of brakes plus a faster car in the 1/4 and around a road course.

Okay that was good! Kudos for not using the same ol’ tired shtick taught by the Robert L Saget School of Comedy!

But... its... a... Japanese car... clearly Nissan engineers painstakingly reduced weight everywhere they could so the GT-R wouldn’t be too heavy nor have a higher center of gravity than necessary. 

LMAO... I can assure you given the litany of vehicles I’ve worked on (some of them fairly expensive) most owners don’t give a damn about hood struts since they don’t even bother to replace trunk/tailgate struts. 

“And finally, still just a silly 1 gallon and 2½ pint V8 lump without proper forced induction in this day and age? The saying is applicable in all its interpretations.”

Whelp I’m going to take what your saying at face value but depending on the engine and how its put together a Malibu of this generation with a decent build and A3 can absolutely haul ass. 

Ohhhh... make it mid-engine with a flat six and transaxle to help with weight distribution for the ICE model! Then again an EV cab over seems like an ideal configuration altogether. 

Maybe? But its not out of sorts for Japanese manufacturer to do that. Toyota absolutely hemorrhaged money on the Lexus brand until its reputation was established.

GM May be spinning Corvette off into its own brand with initially with the Stingray front engine and Manta ray mid engine cars (GM trademarked Manta Ray and Corvette Manta Ray) eventually discontinuing the front engine cars I suppose based on demand.

Wat do they get wrong about cars? Every f-u-c-k-i-n-g thing!

I think the real question is - did Nissan take a beating on the car when it was introduced so they could get it out there and swim in the accolades for bringing a super car in at sports car prices with a plan to reduce then eliminate the hemorrhaging once the car had an established following.

Hah! John Cadogan is going to have a God damned field day with this!

I think it was some FB advice dispensed by a click-bait site? I swear I remember reading about how “bad” it is to skip gears while operating the vehicle.

They just need to drop the conventional pick-up truck layout and go to a mini-tractor trailer. That's what people really want... they all want to be BJ and the Bear...
