Ford, Chevy, and Dodge have all sold a factory drag car for around/over $100k for a few years now and they aren’t even street legal. I’d say spending the same, or slightly less money, and being able to street drive it, is worth it.

Welp, at least one dude that comments here periodically and has had Jalop articles written about him fits that bill. He owns (at least) 3 LaFerraris now, but also has a GT350, GT350R, Viper ACR, and a Cobra Jet. And has run all four of those cars on their respective tracks (oh, and the LaFerraris too).
I have a lot of friends that went from high powered Mustangs to Focus ST daily drivers and loved the shit out of them.
That being said, it’s a bit too small for me and I hate the god-awful SONY stereo interface on the dash. VW just gives you way more refinement for the price, and wayyyy more technology. Can you even…
So in case he didn’t (allegedly) spill enough info, lets write multiple articles about it and break down exactly how secret this info was, what is was about, and who it came from. Great idea! You’re really showing that Trump guy who is the better man here.
*sigh* Street racing in a new edge V6, with it’s raging 190 hp at the crank.
I get what you’re saying about “this isn’t a car to cruise around in on the street”, but lots of rich guys have already proved this theory wrong by cruising around and showing up to C&C in MC12 Corsas, F1 LM’s, and P1 GTRs. Never underestimate the wealthy man’s need to drive something cooler and more ridiculous to the…
Don’t those usually involve “we’ve already sold your trade-in so you can’t get that back”?
So how does the street car fare now against all the diesel-hybrid and CNG buses running around?
The one thing about the Ford GT I just can’t get over is the width of the wing when it’s raised. Looks awesome when down, but when it comes up, it just looks like a toy. Would look 100x better if it was the full width of the car.
Right, think normal 3 series with a charging port and a bunch of stupid blue accent lights. Because blue accent lights now means “I have some variant of electric motor power in here!” Or sometimes “I’m a Subaru with bad taste!”
Yeah, same deal for the WK2 and probably a bunch of other FCA vehicles. But that is what you can see on the steering wheel in the above pics, not paddle shifters.
That might be the stock mount. I saw a Giulia the other day and it had the plate in the same spot. Not sure if it was a tow hook mount, but the driver didn’t seem like a person that would buy an aftermarket plate holder.
I’m surprised more people aren’t losing their minds over the four auxiliary switches. Do they have those on current Wranglers or did Jeep finally learn something from the Raptor after 7 years?
Having a pre-wired aux switch box in the dash and engine bay would be amazing for JK guys and their huge LED bar obsession. I…
Not flappy paddles. You are seeing the radio control buttons on the back of the steering wheel. Funny enough, they’ve been putting those on Grand Cherokees since at least the WJ. Had them on my 04 and have them now on my 14 and they are pretty awesome.
I never liked the lines or proportions of the 1 series or 2 series. Seeing the M2's fender flares made the normal models look even worse.
Now, if they made a 2-series gran coupe to go up against the A3/S3/RS3 and the Merc A series, I’d be all over it.
Sooooo when are we going to start putting some of the blame on Uber and Lyft? I think 80% of the Toyota Corollas purchased new in the last year are now registered as Uber drivers. And I can’t tell you how many Ubers I’ve gotten into recently that still had the glove box warning label still attached. I think people…
You must be like 20 years old. Most car seats didn’t have airbags until 5-10 years ago. This 20 year old Mustang 100% does not have airbags in the seats. The safety aspect here is probably a toss-up. And no, road seats don’t have to be FIA certified. The author is talking about feeling more connected to your car…
Ugh, I have spent untold thousands of dollars and dozens of hours of wrenching trying to solve death wobble on two separate Jeeps. And when you actually rock crawl your street driven jeep, you’re constantly wearing out newish parts that might need to be replaced again. It’s a vicious cycle that pushed me away from…
