The 2019+ GT350 came with the same wing Ford used on the Mach and GT500 (the most aggressive wing with the CFTP is exclusive to the GT500) and I had a chance to check out the front splitter on a handling pack Mach1 today. If it’s anymore aggressive than the splitter on the standard GT350 it’s not by much and

You probably can thank Tesla and the austere design theme. They’ve become the go to company to emulate in the industry (I think even in a “bad” year they are only seeing a 4% year of year increase in sales only “only” a 14 or 15% margin) plus talk to an owner and all they do is gush about how awesome the design is

We had three one year at my old work place. A PT Loser and two GM W- bodies (Olds and Buick) and I’ve seen a few here and there. More recently on south bound 81, it was a Chevy Equinox blazing away.

thats how it works in my Mustang, connect the phone via Bluetooth or wire and it has the option to setup 911 alert. The only downside in 2015 at least was the battery exiting the phone in the crash. Not a problem these days obviously. It is a cool feature for the car at least and didn't require a sub fortunately. The

GIven the way automakers are chomping at the bit over monetizing all the features in a vehicle with subs I wouldn’t be surprised to see safety equipment go the same way in the future. The seat belts might still be free but the air bags won’t and in a further move that would suprise none, states will make those airbag

When me and a buddy did the triple crown hitting both Ferrari Museums and the Lamborghini Museum, he said Porsche’s museum flat out blew both the Italian museums away.

On a side note, with that trip the highlight of my day (288 GTO aside) was watching my buddy cringe as an old lady working at the Ferrari Museum in

Man, the Udvar-Hazy Museum is my favorite. It was nice when I only lived about 3 hours away and I could just drive up and go see all the aircraft. Now that I’ve moved its an 11-hour drive.

Take it with a grain of salt. When VIR was repaved and C&D ran the Lightning Lap with the Mach 1, all of a sudden it was Ford’s best handling and fastest NA Mustang dusting off the GT350R which had more aggressive aero, more power, lighter weight and what I believe was more aggressive rubber. The problem with any lap

I don’t think so, as long as there are side view mirrors then it’s good. Vans and trucks for example often have the rear view blocked.

Drugs and alchohol weren't a factor but I bet road head was. 

That’s the natural result of a burgeoning middle class. People suddenly realize they’ve been fed a line of shit with “you’re lucky to have a job peasant so don’t complain” and they start to demand better conditions. If the US wasn't addicted to short term results and spreading democracy letting the middle class expand

2nd Gear: man I can’t wait for the coming shit show! It’s too bad the Works Council plan was shot down when VW tried to introduce it but I guess the idea of management and workers having reasonable discourse and working together is antithetical to the whole labor movement in the US.  Wall Street loves to see backs

Agreed, and GM didn’t have to look far since they could have taken cues from the 2nd and 3rd gen cars for the 6th gen and been alright. 

Only ‘muricans who for some odd reason are convinced the minimum wage was unreasonably too high at 7.25/hr and think the EPA is a glaring example of goverment overreach simply because it exists.

Im sure they want to rate high as European and Australian as far as those markets are concerned as well. This report reallt only matters to people who seem to think “America” begins at Maine and ends at California and they begrudgingly include Canada and well the turds that love to thump their chest about how

You get what you pay for, for the most part but the unspoken other side is that those slimy dealers have to deal with slimy customers. Other than the economically priviledged that have outsized expectations the premium dealer experience gates the economically disadvantaged that walk in with unreal expectations and are

So do one like GMA and just build one last ICE blowout car where the only thing that matters is the driving experience. The T.50 and the T.33 probably will get its ass handed to it in bench race but I’m sure they will go down as some of the most desirable vehicles ever built thanks to Gordon Murray’s design

I’d argue Mustang is a brand now with a coupe and crossover in its portfolio even if Ford isn’t saying it at least not yet. Maybe when the ICE coupe gets killed off in 2029 they will fully commit to the brand as I imagine the coupe and crossover will share a chassis (they are fairly similar in footprint now with the

To put that into context, that would be like holding every driver responsible by raiding their retirement whenever someone decides to drive recklessly under the influence of alcohol or some other similarly impairing substance - and in a sense we are through increased insurance rates and it obviously doesn’t stop

There is no easy way to say this but that is not a FUCK’N coupe no matter what the loons who capitulated to MB at ISO say (and I hope they die from a thousand cuts from the printer that spews the paper it’s printed on). If anything it’s a sedan and doesn’t even really qualify as that.
