As oil companies exit the fuel business for personal transportation and gasoline vehicles become a niche enthusiast market the business case will probably be there. Especially with a well to wheel environmental costs on par with EVs.

This could be crochety old Howie but man I swear people have jumped off the high dive into the deep end of the bad driving pool.

OP is slightly railing against the industry and golfball provides a well reasoned counter point. It certainly doesn’t read as a simpering apology to me.

powermatt is correct, at some point in a product’s life you end up firing the original fans so the brand can endure. Right now is probably peak V8 for Mustang so not a bad time to stretching things out and get ready for the EV car. 

A paltry 1200 or so isn’t shit over a 60 or 72 month note. I guarantee you could just make it the internal combustion engine tax and it won’t make a dent.

If your aim is to give the GGT some teeth and kill anything that gets a combined 25 mpg or worse then it has to be something that hurts like double the cost of the…

Most JDM cars really unless its an FD RX-7, OG NSX or S2000.

lol, a few items but my really favorite part about the Shelby American jacket I own is the number for football jersey wearing coworkers that consider me a fucking loser for wearing a Shelby jacket.

I’m still mad there isn’t going to be a 2021 GT350!

The block and heads have also been beefed up to take the added power. To save costs and inventory problems the 2019 and 2020 GT350 uses the same block and heads and I think maybe connecting rods as well as crank sprocket along with head bolts and a few more parts. 

Only when you opt for the handling package. The regular Mach is a rebadged Bullitt with a Tremec manual ( Ford produced a base GT350 for the 2016 model year and it was bereft of the trans and diff coolers but the base GT350 wasn’t a huge seller due to ADMs and lack of track capability so I imagine they have a bunch of…

The GT350 cannibalized sales from the GT500. The only way I could see some validity in your statement is if the Shelby/Ford relationship ends with the S550 GT500.

That could certainly be the case but this is the only time Ford has offered two concurrent factory engineered Shelby models ( the S-197 cars did have the…

Naw, the GT350 will roast a GT or the Mach when it comes to driving hard on a track. The GT and Mach don’t get the massive brakes the GT350 has and there could be other differences such as the timing chains employed on the 5.2 Voodoo being more robust ( and I think the gen II engines get the GT500's forged crank…

Squeaky wheels get the grease. Unless the majority of the owners ended up with “factory freaks” the 5.2 isn’t terribly unreliable.

I have a 2017 Gen 1 engine with spin on filter ( considered the least reliable ) and with 32k on the clock. I doesn’t burn oil and I’ve never had problems with the engine and I daily the…

Sigh... I love this car!

I bought a 2017 GT350 as soon as they made the track pack equipment standard and opted for the tech pack when I purchased it. Then after reading about the improvements with the 2019 model I decided to trade the 2017 and order a 2020.

I had enough money in the piggy bank for down payment on a…

A coworker tells me about that all the time ( he used to be a mechanic ) BMW comes up, definitely not a cheap job. IIRC 6-7k maybe more.

So much this! I talked about this for years. People just don’t realize how bad Europe was after WWII and it made the job of introducing better more modern infrastructure a lot easier. 

Tesla is kinda weird though, I swear I’ve never seen a company in my life people are so rooting for it to succeed by dumping money into the stock. They are a bit player and they only really make money off of carbon credits but damn it people want to see Tesla wipe everybody out common sense be damned!



 

No...

I’m motioning to drop the commuter/family car for small to midsize coupe.

Somebody get me an oily shop rag so I can dry my tears! That was some beautiful stuff!
