Much of the Midwest and Great Plains freeways (that I remember) are 75. Montana, Wyoming, the Dakotas, Nebraska, etc. Utah, I believe, is 80, as is much of Texas, which also has an 85 mph toll road.

No, what it shows is that cars going slower than traffic cause more accidents than those going faster. Even the cars going 10 mph over have fewer accidents than the cars going 10 mph under. That granny in the Buick that you swerved to avoid because they were going 15 under? The primary cause of "speed" accidents.

That is an equal length, parallel arm suspension, which is HORRIBLE for handling. There is no camber curve, so for every degree of body roll there is 1 degree of positive camber. Any good IRS will have negative camber gain in roll, which also means camber gain in bump, so the uneven road surface comparison is moot

Explain. I want a fully detailed explanation of why I'm wrong. Until then, I will give a fully detailed explanation of why I'm right. Good handling IRS systems change camber in bump and droop, so as it hits bumps and undulations, camber changes, reducing grip, especially over crests. Camber goes positive, grip goes

Imagine: Inboard, planetary-gear driven, clutch activated disc brakes! 'Scuse me while I whip up a prototype...

They did say they were going to use a bunch of Boss components, so 450 hp doesn't seem unlikely.

The FR500 concept was one of my favorites. The extended nose really brought the proportions together, it brought back the idea of using an SLA suspension, and those WHEELS! MMFFFF!

That might actually be (or was) a wood bed, with the planks getting thrown out.

Not only that, he was filming the PLAYBACK! Someone filmed it in portrait, put it on the computer, pulled out ANOTHER camera, and filmed the screen of the video!

That's because of the aero ducting. It might be safe to reduce their size, since most people aren't gonna be driving at a speed that requires that ducting.

I heard something similar. "Okay, the pavers are about 100 yards back, and we have to get over there. Howza bouts we just go straight down the hill?"

Oh, you thought that it was for shaving?

I wouldn't doubt if your dreams come true. The motor will be updated (I think I heard 440hp or something), and there will be an upgraded version, eventually. Perhaps an Ecoboost Coyote? I mean, it was built with direct injection in mind.

I drive a 1965 Mustang with the stock level of sound deadening. It is loud, and not in the good way. Lots of wind and road noise. If I could get rid of the wind noise and not be bothered by the road noise, I'd be happy. I still want to hear the engine, though, so I understand where Ford is coming from putting the

Cheap fleet trucks are where much of the profits come from. Besides, I don't think Ford would give up the reputation of being the choice for work trucks by eliminating stripped down fleet models.

While I like NA motors personally, both your complaints don't really work. The GT500 sounds awesome, and it's supercharged. But when you say it's being robbed of hp, it's actually using power that would otherwise not be used to make even more power. Just because there's some parasitic loss from a supercharger doesn't

Remember, this is also a country where a man jumped to his death rather than go shopping at one more store in the mall with his girlfriend, sooo, I think some of their judgement abilities may be impaired.

Don't get me wrong, the Cobra IRS is better than the abomination that is the Fox-SN-95 solid axle, but it's nowhere near as good as it should be.

Stuff like that is a matter of degrees. With steering angle, it could be 1-2 degrees, but it could change the feel of the whole car fairly noticeably. Now, if the roll axis is angled, the weight transfer will be different, and that will change the actual balance of the car, leading to either oversteer or understeer,
