I’m talking about much tighter roads than streets of willow. Streets is a great course for low-powered cars, yes...but it’s not an ultra-tight, switchback canyon road. Hence why providing empirical evidence is not really possible. And from the beginning I’ve been making the point that these ultra-tight roads are the…

There is no empirical evidence other than having owned and driven all of these cars over thousands of miles of said roads. Lightness counts for a lot in these circumstances. Just because there’s one thing a Toyobaru can do better than a Mustang doesn’t discount the Mustang in any way. And since most people don’t…

Except incredibly tight roads. As I stated. If you honestly don’t see that, you are quite a fool or a troll. You cannot defy the laws of physics with a mustang...or any other car for that matter. But as I’ve made perfectly clear, these are very specific use case scenarios that I have had the privilege of being able to…

Actually I was comparing the ecoboost to the 86. Since they are similarly priced. I know just how well the Coyote revs. Love that motor.

Yes, on EVERY super-tight, hairpin after hairpin, canyon road. That’s it though. The rest of the time the Mustang does a better job. As I stated to another person that doesn’t seem to comprehend different driving dynamics and different types of roads, 1000lbs and 22" in length make a big difference in how a car drives.

I was talking more about the ecoboost than the GT, and honestly...the ecoboost powerband doesn’t REALLY reward revving the piss out of it. But I agree with your assessment about the driving location being the key reason the 86 has limited benefit potential for drivers, and it’s essentially what I was saying.

It isn’t bullshit at all. Have you driven both of them? I love both cars but they drive incredibly differently. 1000lbs and 22" in length make a big difference in the driving dynamics of a car. The twins ARE under-powered. That doesn’t mean they aren’t fun, and it certainly doesn’t mean they don’t absolutely trounce…

These two cars, while similarly priced, and rear-wheel-drive, are really not very similar in any other ways. The 86 is a hell of a lot more go-kart like, requires a lot more attention, rewards the driver that revs the piss out of it and carries as much momentum as possible, etc. Mustang is a pony car...a grand-tourer…

I didn’t imply that. I was stating that new cars are all so damn quick, most people don’t even ask for more.

ICE are not long for this world. Naturally aspirated ones even more so. It’s sad but I totally get it. Most people don’t give two shits about the way an engine sounds, or the character it has. They just want it to move their vehicle efficiently. Few care how quickly anymore since even slow modern cars are as fast as…

word.

I’m impressed that they didn’t fist this dude’s asshole, throw his props away, and force him to leave the airport. I mean, they treat you like a terrorist if you forget to throw out a water bottle.

There are other good reasons to avoid low-mileage cars. I learned this lesson when I bought a 1998 M3 back in 2003. The car was mint, the owner meticulous, and it only had 28k miles. Unfortunately, the transmission (manual of course) developed a very rare, but catastrophic issue and required replacement after I’d…

That dog is a hero.

I’m 6'3, 190. Had one for a few years. I fit just fine...even with a helmet.

his lyrical talent is kinda meh, but the overall commercial seems fine to me. Visually pretty great too.

Why do you sound so angry? LOL. I wasn’t criticising, I was questioning how well it can accomplish track time since it’s been difficult for electric cars to compete with their gas counterparts in that realm as of yet. What this car IS capable of, is fucking amazing. Especially at the price point. Plus it’s gorgeous.

I wonder if this “roadster” is capable of being driven hard for multiple laps on a track? Cooling of the batteries and other components would be challenging under those conditions. We already know Teslas can do a a handful of repeated sprints, as they get a chance to rest briefly between runs, but to TRULY beat the…

WTF was filming that? I feel like it was someone pushing a skateboard (slowly) and overlayed the audio with a weedwacker.
