That's pretty much what my grandpa thinks. To him, truck drivers and salesmen are the two worst kinds of people in the world. My truck, which I bought used from a dealership, was having some issues with spewing antifreeze. Gramps just about goes apeshit over it, saying that the dealer hoodwinked me with a truck that…

Do you not want a more affordable Mustang?

But with the Coyote now in the F150, there are tens of thousands more in production, driving costs back down. Besides, they might add customers that might not otherwise have bought a Mustang by offering the cheaper version. They won't necessarily loose customers from the GT.

I have a feeling that all of that went right over your head. Are we even talking about the same thing? European cars have many engine and transmission choices, and it doesn't affect the price much. All I want is a cheap, V8 powered Mustang. Ditch the super-fancy gauges, cloth seats, etc. You know, simple. Hell, put…

Except that maybe I want a NEW Mustang, with a warranty, modern styling, and a chassis that isn't the consistency of cooked spaghetti.

You pretty much just repeated what I said is going on. What I want is to have the same quality/performance for less. I don't know what I'd do with 400 hp on the street, so we can cap horsepower right there for the GT. But the price has been creeping up, so it'd be nice to see it go the other direction. Keep its…

Possibly. But if the 400 lb weight loss is entirely out of the chassis and interior, we could have a sub 3000 lb Mustang with the Ecoboost.

I am aware of this. Engines, transmissions, seats, and the like don't magically get 9% smaller and lighter when the car's dimensions shrink by 9%. I am merely using at as a rough guide.

Something I've been wondering for a while is that with all this progress in making cars much faster for the same price, why hasn't there been a push to get the same speed for less money? I'd love to see a sub-$20,000 Mustang that has the same or similar performance as the current V6. If we can make a 400 hp GT for…

Well, it's going to be 9% smaller, which could mean a 9% reduction in weight. Edmunds says they'll also replace some parts with aluminum and refine the chassis structure to put support in the right places and in the right quantities. I'm sure the higher-level Mustangs will also make more extensive use of aluminum, as…

On an older car, definitely brake lines. It's bitten me in the ass before. I replaced all but one brake line (guess I took a break and never got around to it), and it leaked out all my fluid, sending me into the back of a Saturn. Had it been at more than 20 mph, shit could have been royally fucked.

That's the thing about lotteries. If you get enough money, your money will earn money for you. I'd pay off my student loans, car loans, and reimburse my parents for my college expenses, buy a house, and then live off the interest. I'd probably keep working, just because I love what I do. Also helps keep boredom away.

There are few things I hate as much as auto-play ads.

There was also a Saleen XP6, but only because Ford goofed on the order and sent some 4.0 V6 Explorers to Saleen.

It's not possible to use the same space, at least not at the same time, which is what's happening there. When they use the same space at the same time, the piston always wins, and the valve bends, breaks, and then the piston loses. And maybe a couple of valves.

Then for each successive video lost, the officer gets 2 weeks unpaid leave.

A process they leased the patent rights from Ford. I understand that Nissan had a hard time getting the iron to stick for a while. The shop could have sleeved the block if they were really serious about it.

Seriously, at least fake it right. Put in bigger turbos and an intercooler and add some AN fittings to make it look nice, then leave it at that.
