Hey all you IMS guys, 996 and 997 turbos are based on the Mezger engine. Look it up and do your own research. If you can't figure out how to buy super car performance at mustang pricing (like a TT 996) then you deserve to keep driving around in your brz or forte.

Yippee-ki-ay.

You can have my race car when you pry it from my cold dead hand.

To me they're two entirely different animals that have strong suits that fit in two different camps. While a RZR can crawl to me they are the most fun in the open desert flying through the whoops or blasting dunes.

Those big ol straight sixes were awesome. I had a short bed regular cab Eddie Bauer F-150, the white one with the cooper/brownish stripe on the bottom. I loved that truck. I think it was a 96 but my memory is a little hazy. Man I loved that truck.

Polaris is killing it! 24k gets you 17" of travel and 140 hp with a warranty and fairly reasonable parts prices compared to most things which offer that level of performance off road.

I live in South Orange County CA about an hour and 20 minutes from the Mexican border. I’m a member of the Desert Assassins Trophy Truck team. I had 7500 miles of Baja dirt on my truck before the odometer turned 13,000 miles total. When I say I’m looking forward to more torque that’s easily accessed in the rpm range…

The torque in the 6.2 was all up high in the rpm range. To get my big old 5500 lb truck moving I had to be on the pipe, coming out of turns in sand washes you were always down shifting just to find that torque. I drove everywhere with the tow/haul button pushed so the truck would hold gears longer and have more…

From all the big news and fanfare ford was making it seemed that maybe they underestimated just how tough it actually is, even though Porsche, Corvette, BMW, and Ferrari make it look fairly simple.

Sort out reliability problems. I'm thinking that might be really important in an endurance racing series.

I think you confused ‘Merica with VW right there.

I'm good with the 1-2-3 as long as it's Porsche. 😜

Yep, which is why most of us are actually pulling for the underdogs in F1, like Ferrari, as crazy as that sounds.

Porsche is known for leaving a lot of hp on the table for tuners to grab with their turbo models. Will that continue and allow a guy with a Cayman S to top 400 hp and leave no real reason for anyone to buy a Carrera or a Carrera S? Inquiring minds want to know.

RG is his own worst enemy. His arrogance causes him to make bad decisions but also causes him to win once in a while. I’m not a fan but it’s nice to have an American on 4 wheels in the Dakar rally. He realistically has no chance to ever win the overall. His funding and arrogance will not allow it.

I’m hearing +2" front and rear. That’s a pretty big jump. Talking 14" in a production, factory engineered vehicle. Saweet

Cameron Steele with his trusty sidekick Cody Stuart and the Desert Assassins doing work in the #16 Trophy Truck. Great shot.

Okay PatBateman I don’t wanna get you into hot water by pushing too much, you’ve been super duper helpful! Thanks so much!

Duuude! NO WAY A 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION! How did you find about that, do you work for Ford? Will it still have 4 wheel drive?

Just in case someone missed it the question is not about some goofy sunroof, the question is HOW MUCH FREAKIN TRAVEL?
