Another neat feature is how that weight savings is applied. The weight difference on a very high end aluminum wheel isn’t that different but CF wheels concentrate most of thier weight around the hub and make huge savings at rhe barrel so you get additional inertial dividends over a comparable aluminum wheel. Plus add…

Get ready for the oh so trite deluge of "Ok, Boomer" heading your way. 

In between the Cobra and Daytona coupes Shelby ran some Cobras with a fixed roof at Le Mans IIRC. Not as fast as the sleek Daytona Coupes but it pointed the way none the less. 

2016+ Shelby GT350 - Ford didnt need to make it anything other than say a Performance Package III with a more aggreasively tuned 5.0 in the same way that GM did the Camaro 1LE cars but Im glad they did.

I wish I had a link handy for YouTube vid I watched on heel/toe. Probably the best video instruction Ive seen. It was a guy using his C5 to teach the technique.

Kind of like the target buyer for the Porsche Cayenne, but lower end. Wants a sports car but needs a 4 door something. Just like a lot of Cayenne buyers want something comfortable and practical, but still want to be able to brag they own a Por-shuh.

Well at least as far as I can see in the comment section you’ve not been hit with the extremely trite “ok, boomer” like a few people out there unwilling to take the Ford marketing guy’s marbles and swirl them around in your mouth.

Ford might have gotten away with it had they taken the time to say hey Mustang is going…

1st gear: Performance sells! Look no further than the horsepower wars that have been going on since at least the 50's. As well as the litany of bench racing replies littered all over the interwebz.

Saving the planet is sort of a nebulous action with disconnected results reported by a faceless group of people…

Bonus! You might be able to shame them into committing mass suicide!

Kindly direct your friend to this post if he hasn’y been here already!

Although I imagine the smug fucks he works with will dismiss anything the rabble says out of hand like the buying department for my company.

It literally plays out like this;

Me: “Hey guys last time you did this it took two years to sell some of this…

This! A thousand times this! Nothing shows how clueless a marketing department is when they take a Mustang inspired CUV and call it a fucking Mustang.

I suppose Ford is working towards a Mustang brand but maybe they should be talking about that instead of just dumping a Moredoor CUV out there and saying “here is a…

They could have just as easily called it a Lightning and left it at that.

What in the actual fuck is this shit? A little late for the April’s Fools stuff Ford!

I really hope you guys have reached out to Ford’s marketing department and asked them what the fuck they were snorting when they came up with this fuckery?  And Ford thinks they botched the Exploder introduction... this shit is…

Yeah Ken Miles seemed to be very well liked. I think it was a Pete Brock interview where Brock got a bit misty eyed talking about Ken. It was a sore spot with Shelby as well. 

I doubt it, probably couldn’t muscle Krupp or the German government into either paying pennies or just telling Krupp to go suck a dick.

Jew hating was and is still a thing so I doubt Ford worried about that at all. 

Jango cheapened Boba a lot 

Y’know crazy thing about modern farming practices and nitrogen. The microbes responsible for catalyzing nitrogen in the soil have been killed off in places like the US where overfertilization has been business as usual.

Trees eat jet fuel emissions. That’s the idea at least.

For people who like to brag about #’s Like the ZR1 and ZL1 and the Hellcat and so on. The GT500 exists to do magazine shootouts and YouTube vids and is made to attract the sort of people who like to own the biggest and baddest example of the breed.

That said I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want a GT500 CFTP. Granted I…

Power to weight is one of the reasons, remeber the GT350 at its lightest is just a bit under 3700 pounds in GT350R form with AC and radio delete. The regular GT350 is damn near 3900 pounds when fully loaded sans Recaros. The other is that the car has to be driven super aggressively since power really doesn’t kick in…
