Also, insanely expensive since a diesel hybrid not only has the hybrid bits but they get to pay for all the added aftertreatment equipment for emissions on top of necessarily rugged engine and the added maintenance costs even with being a hybrid. I bet in the near term over the life of the loan it just wouldn’t pay…

Your reply reminds me of a guy on here talking about how he “felt sorry” for people “forced” to drive cars equipped with an internal combustion engine. It smacks as a sort of elitism when the truth is most any modern powertrain, especially a modern performance powertrain in any configuration operates just fine be it el…

How is wanting a little noise and vibration make somebody scared of change? I’ve been maintaining for some time that it would be cool if a manufacturer introduced an EV with a set of straight cut gears that could be engaged in the reduction box when the vehicle was put into “track mode” or whatever.

Ford capitalized…

It’s something people have to be weaned off of since it is indeed a form of sensory deprivation. Hell, ask how miserable a tire guy’s life is when they install a new set of tires, and the rat fuck customer comes back complaining that the tire guy broke something completely unrelated to what was done since the new…

I see Donker-vort but I bet knowing nothing about dutch the “k”, “r” and “t” are silent and I would roll in there saying Donker-vort and cause an incident in the Netherlands not unlike the time Clark Griswald was in Europe.

lol, good pun but the be honest GM when they aren't being held hostage by a balance sheet can craft some pretty good stuff. They've had some gems over the years when I suppose the bean counters were all passed out drunk. 

lol, call me “ok boomer” but is that how the kids are expressing power to weight these days.

the only problem in the US at least is the coupe market is dying thanks to stagnant incomes and increased living costs. The Mustang which is the most popular domestic coupe struggled to get past 60k last year and probably won’t sell more than 40-50k this year in part to the 2024 coming out (order banks shut down 12/3…

Not if you have an engine that revs over 7000 rpm. Ford worked with Tremec to develop the TR3160 so it could handle the Voodoo’s 8250 rev limit and power output in the GT350. The TR6060 is fantastic since it is such a brute of a transmission and can handle some serious torque, but that heavy duty nature means its…

G-forces aren’t the issue since the vehicle is slowing at whatever rate regardless of the vehicle mass. Inertia is what makes a difference since that heavier object wants to keep going and either plows through the lighter object or comes to an abrupt stop it is goes up against a heavier object that doesn’t want to…

Good advice but you are probably pissing in the wind on that one. I could be curmudgeonly and say “today’s drivers gabba gabba gabba” but to be honest when I’ve been witness to wrecks over my driving career it almost seems like most of the drivers just sat there thinking “Ave imperator, morturi te salutant” and don’t…

damn, I had to scroll back since I went straight to the article and that is bad... real bad...

Man, I wonder if they are the forged wheels. IIRC Ford ran a cast 18"and 19"forged version with the forged wheels being rarer than the cast version.

Mexico isn’t part of North America???

Ford has a thing for WWII aircraft. The Mustang really wasn't named after the horse. 

This right here, I’ve been saying the same thing. If say Borla was smart they would not only develop their own sound but partner with guys like Disney so they can offer signature sounds and Star Wars has a some pretty good ones.

Well best is nebulous since it’s all an opinion but when somebody is talking a naturally aspirated gasoline V8 then I like to whip put this little gem.

To be fair most EVs run low rolling resistance tires. Unless the vehicle is equipped with something like Energy Savers then the impact to fuel effciency won’t be noticeable.

You probably wouldn’t be shocked to see the mental gymnastics people go through to convince themselves Michelins are just a name.

Chevy Camaro! Oh wait, you guys said 2023 not 2024.
