Sage advice! Its a useful tool to have in most circumstances.

Yeah great chassis but so damned cramped! I thought maybe it was just Camaro but then I had a chance to sit in an ATS and damn if it didn't feel cramped as well. 

Karen doesn’t fuck with a Mustang she is 100% SUV!

I haven’t driven the T4 with an M6 but I didn’t care for it in sport mode with the slushbox.

The current S550 car is as big a leap over the S-197 as the S-197 was over the SN95/New Edge cars which is pretty substantial.

Its a trade off - Team Mustang has to balance profitability with a good chassis and great running gear and the interior ends up losing.

Well lagging wages, the end of easy credit and inflation will largely accomplish that. Mustangs aren't for little people anymore.

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.
