If your argument is that there’s no such thing as an unavoidable accident, then you’re nothing more than a pretentious idiot. There’s a reason cars have seatbelts, airbags, and crumple zones, and it’s not to enable people to drive like maniacs. It’s because shit happens, and it’s not always the fault of the person it…

what I meant is that you are buying a great GT car as it sits. You could go hooning at an SCCA event one day and drive it to work the next morning.
Try again. I’ll go slower this time so you can follow along:
battle hard race car that you could buy from a dealer
That is weird. Per your owners manual, it should behave exactly the same way mine does. Maybe it has something to do with the Polestar upgrade.
I can’t speak for the V70 and V50, but your ‘12 XC70 should theoretically operate the same way my ‘13 does. I can’t think of a reason it would work for me, and not for you.
If you move the gear selector over into the Geartronic section, but don’t actually use it to select a gear (instead of ‘D’, the gear icon on your dashboard displays an ‘S’), it makes the throttle more responsive and keeps the engine at a higher rpm. Probably not great for gas mileage, but perfect for passing or…
I say this knowing few people prefer a manual transmission over an automatic.
Nope, that’s not the Sport mode I meant. Though I think it’s supposed to say “move the gear selector to the left”.
The car theoretically has a ‘sport’ mode, even if it only changes the throttle mapping. I don’t think it changes the engine output. I hardly ever use it unless I know I need to dart out into a gap in traffic. For that, it does its job with gusto.
Oooh, T6 with Polestar, I like very much. Mine is Caspian Blue. I had to drive 800+ miles round trip to grab the one I wanted.
How old is that chart? It still lists Suzuki, Saturn, Pontiac, Saab, Hummer, Mercury, and Scion....
Then why do you keep citing comparisons of Mustangs on Perelli P-Zero tires and with upgraded suspensions?... those don’t come on any base Mustangs, not one.
LSD is standard on the Sport model you quoted ($33,570). If you’re talking base model z your price differential balloons to 5k. Sure the base model Ecoboost comes with LSD, its base price is $32,140 with all seasons... With summer tires $34,135... Why do you insist on using model base prices? Ford sure as hell…
I suppose I’d be most mad if I owned a 2007 Ford Shelby GT500. A car that cost $45,000, has 500 hp, a top speed of 185 and only beat the 2011 V6 by 1.5 seconds on a 4 mile track... or a 306 hp 2006 Nissan Track Edition 350z by the same measure. See how this transitive logic works?
If you can find a better, more direct comparison, please feel free to share. I ran with what was available.
No, you’re right, it’s not $5k less, it was $11k less, because the NISMO 370Z that barely beat it was $40k, vs. $28.7k for the V-6 Mustang with the Performance package. Boy, you sure got me there. Seems like a pyrrhic victory.
Wait, A Mustang GT can get to 60 and back to 0 in the time it takes a 370Z to get to 60? You should quit your job and become an automotive tester. You’re a fucking magician!
