However, the 3.5L motor running minimum boost will need to be in a lower gear and at higher revs to make the same horsepower. At that point you are adding friction to the equation.

GM was not taking the lousy tactic. They are legally a completely different company than the prebailout GM.

I don’t know about the rest of the states, but in Kentucky you are only required to know how to drive a manual if you take the test in a car with a manual (seems pretty self explanatory). However there are no restrictions if you take the test in an automatic.

You can directly compare a Demon to a GT3 since they are both essentially track ready cars from the factory. They may be set up for different kinds of tracks, but that can’t take away the fact that a Demon is a track car.

Whenever a new guy starts at the local NAPA there is an employee at my uncle’s garage that always calls in an order for a water pump for a 1965 Beetle.

What goes into stock price is much much more than consumer confidence. In the case above of a company making more money that predicted, that can be the sign of an underlying management issue. It shows the the company does not know the market in which they are selling and could have just “gotten lucky.” Some of the…

Actually it is not a flawed way at looking at things. Many businesses try to anticipate demand in relation to production to set pricing. If the market is willing to pay higher than what you are charging then you are in fact losing out on money. The opposite is also true. If the market is already flooded with your…

Drive a 3rd Generation Ford Explorer and tell me that you have less maneuverability. That was by far the easiest vehicle to park and maneuver out of everything I have driven. It has a relatively short wheelbase to allow for a tight turning radius and the footprint of the vehicle isn’t much larger than a typical sedan.…

I didn’t even hit play, and it’s already stuck in my head.

The SS was killed because that was in the plan. The SS was created to buffer capacity in Australia. Sales for the SS actually were on par with expectations.

Price.

I must say that it is a definite improvement over the current design. Considering that I live walking distance from the plant I will definitely start being on the lookout for test mules.

The Navigator has been Ecoboost V6 only since the 2015 mid model refresh.

Precisely. Ford used the same logic when they released the GT500 with 662 HP.

As of today, the EV market is a small subset of the car market as a whole. You can’t say that there is a “car market”. There is a sports coupe market, sports sedan market, small SUV market, truck market, etc. There is not much cross shopping between trucks or sports coupes which puts them in defacto separate markets.…

All of the parts that come on the Demon are stock...

The Camaro stopped using the Holden chassis in 2016. The Alpha platform was developed in the US for Cadillac and Camaro.

Tesla is trying to invent the EV market. Prior to Tesla EVs were thought of as nothing more than extremely compromised vehicles that were hardly a step up from golf carts. Tesla showed that EVs can have full creature comforts and some resemblance of performance.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if the Demon is a bit faster. I doubt Hennessey brought the suspension to the level that it is only really functional on a drag strip.
