Mustangs are 50% manual take-rate on the GT. And technically 100% on the GT350. Only 20% on the EcoBoost but that’s still 20 times the apparent average cited here. Seems alright to me.

It’s for when he parks the car in its spot as the head of giant robot.

As someone who has a GT with those tires and agrees completely re: quality, I’d put it down to a combo of cost and availability. They already have these tires, they know it works with the 19s and the other parts they’re stealing from the GT PP, and they can slap ‘em on there and still come in under $5k. Even if…

There’s a name for this: the Scunthorpe Problem

That was great, but I will counter with this:

Don’t feel bad, they’re probably doing it too if not vocally. Lived here all my life and I hear it in my head if I so much as spot one of their cruisers.

2017 GT w/PP owner. Not sure if it changed from earlier models but it’s a 3.73 Torsen limited slip diff out back in mine and I believe it’s the same in the facelifts.

And a new one just went up today!  Great as always.

Now I really want to see the rest of that promotional video.  By the looks of it you’d need the convertible roof and drop doors just to fit those MASSIVE 80s shoulder pads on the lady.  The ultimate power suit in the ultimate driving machine.

They used it as an advertising selling point so that if you got tired of your Z1's original color it was easy to swap it over to some other color, or hell turn it into a VW Harlequin if you wanted. A bit silly but I’m not sure anyone else has ever done it so as Demuro might say it’s both an interesting quirk and a…

Great pictures! Brings back a lot of good memories for me too, though I was further south in Tuscany for my driving escapades. I enjoyed driving so much I ended up being the erstwhile designated wheelman for the group I was with the week I was there. Rental Alfa 159 diesel, a manual transmission and ENDLESS…

CrowdSceneExtra is correct, but “stunting” can also be tacked on to just about any violation, or even just on its own at officer’s discretion. It’s quite bullshit, frankly. The Ontario HTA has no actual definition of stunting. For instance, if I’m out on my motorcycle and, say, I stand on the pegs over some gnarly…

To add to that, the prior captcha with the two words was also to help Google recognize damaged scanned words better for Google Books... not that it couldn’t be exploited occasionally.

I will also vote for the 996 as being good and cool and well worth driving. Be sure to get it with the manual gearbox. After a friend of mine got one I drove it and had so much fun it ruined the car I had at the time. It’s hard to get back into a car when every time you look at it you sigh because it’s so boring in…

I had a 2008 3.0si and it was solid for the time I owned it. I got it off-lease in 2010 and had nothing but regular fluid changes and the occasional wear item. Tires will wear faster than you expect especially on the OEM Bridgestones due to low UTQG and aggressive camber. Around the 7-year old mark one rear coilover…

Even worse, it still sounds like a VQ.

Well the trick is you need to hear the Bowie/Jagger version without all that instrumentation in the way. It’s so much improved:

Beat me to the hot dog comparison. I almost choked when I saw he named it the “Frankfurt Flyer”. More like Frankfurter, right?

Mustang Hybrid is actually official. I think it came out along with the Mach1 news and such. Supposed to be ready for 2020. Here’s some fluff piece from MT about it: http://www.motortrend.ca/en/news/2020-ford-mustang-hybrid-what-to-expect/
