On a normal mustang, yes. On the GTD? The first modification will be to prep it for storage, stick it in a warehouse, and never drive it.

And? The ZR-1 will probably beat a 911 GT3-RS too. That doesn’t make either the GTD or the Porsche any less impressive. The GTD is legitimate racing tech on a road car. That makes it more exotic (and expensive) than the ZR-1. Ford probably wasn’t even THINKING about the Corvette when designing the GTD. It’s clear in…

the Mustang GTD is going to cost a hell of a lot of money (especially for a Mustang)

I’m mostly guessing, but I assume the energy/emission expenditure required to do something like that would far exceed the amount captured, totally negating the original benefit. 

The private industry tried that already. Then the libtards made up ozones and complained about our future space hole, so Obama paid the Clintons to close it.

I know the password, 12345. Same as the combination on my luggage!

Dodge Challenger owners remove that many cars from the road per week. 

Who can say what actually tickles Sandy’s prostate? I’ve enjoyed his videos (love seeing things taken apart into their components) and there’s no doubt that Sandy is smart and experienced, but that doesn’t automatically render him correct on everything. Elon’s successes (and there have been some) are offset by his…

Most rockets can make it to mars... carrying a live crew that lives through the trip is another story.

In this video, Sandy Munro, an openly huge supporter, passive friend, and investor in Musk’s ventures (we’ll get into that later), tries to make the argument that firing a 500+ person team due to a management disagreement on the crown jewel of Tesla that is its charging services division, makes sense and that not only…

There’s been some really lousy reporting on that, and this line in the story (and the linked article from which it came) joins that dubious body of work. The point in saying that the federal government will be responsible for the majority of the costs is that a) part of the point of having a federal government is to…

Was reading and laughing at same. Whether it’s Boing, Tesla, or Maersk many of the accidents are attributable to one thing: making money. Maybe it can get a little muddied when you introduce the idea of making money at the expense of safety compared to making money by rushing half-baked goods to market in an effort to…

I’m absolutely shocked that cut-throat capitalism leads to under-maintained equipment, overworked employees, and generally unsafe conditions. Safety be damned! We have profits to maximize! 

Ah, white Oakley sunglasses sitting in his truck filming a political rant guy. Yep.

“EVs will be the ruination of the world!”

People say better? Or funner?

I’ve heard this eyeball-roller more than once: owners told me how they “baby” their ride by putting premium gas in the tank instead of the correct regular grade. The whole idea of premium grade for higher compression engines to prevent knocking was beyond them—”babying” was all they knew.

Nothing new to talk about; it’d just be idle speculation.  Give the investigation time.

They’ve probably been assured by their legal teams there won’t be any personal legal responsibility/litigation and did the math.  They got their relatively easy ducats, no reason to stick around to do actual (sort of) work for diminishing shareholder returns.

This is basically the theory behind those “Tungsten Rods From Space” super-weapons that pop up in lazy spy movies from time to time. The energy delivered is Mass x Velocity. Both variables matter. Same reason a slow-moving semi-truck can plow through barriers a speedy sports can’t.
