Honestly they do own Subarus for nothing. Watching Seattleites drive in the little snow they get every few years was hilarity, as I used to slowly drive past the ditched subies in a snow tire equipped rwd car...
XJ... XJ... XJ... (Looks over shoulder to see if David Tracy appeared.)
Assuming it will go fast enough to produce any significant down force or that its capable of over steer...
Throw the raptor on snow tires and the taco on ATs and the situation is reversed.
AT tires vs snow tires. The difference in performance on snow/ice is massive.
Aw, but you’ve only got two E85 stations. I had two on my street alone outside of Nashville. Cheaper than race gas and burns cooler too.
X2 I was looking for any handling upgrades, it appears BMW will charge a nice premium for what most manufactures would sell through their parts catalogue. I wouldn’t hold your breath for a GT350/ZL1 fighter.
It always makes my brain itch when people assume US gas must be lower octane... (Although true for Californians I suppose).
Absolute garbage filters, I had one nearly choke out a 4.0 (filter element collapsed). That takes effort.
Ford didn’t “nerf” the F150 coyote. Its cam profile and intake are meant to maximize torque and there are no free lunches so you lost power as a result.
You would love positive displacement blowers, instant torque is the only way to describe it.
If the Camaro didn’t exist you would have a point. But it does and Ford was throwing a lot of rear gear at the GT to stay competitive.
Keep in mind ford has been producing supercharged V8's for 13 years now. Its very hard to go from one of those to even a more “powerful” coyote and not be disappointed. A lot of GT500 owners passed on the GT350.
Can you feel a difference between the updated 5.0 and the 2015 one? The DI and compression was supposed to give a nice torque bump, which the coyote sorely needed.
Thats funny because they will fit in the mustang...
In this case I agree, no reason to sell the cobra. We have two kids and I still have an old new edge. Two car seats are definitely doable in mine while the GT500 has far more room. If I recall my 6'0 tall wife had no problem sitting in front of a rear facing seat when we last rented a S197. Even in my smaller older…
Typical, 1000 “classic” special editions and a single SVT product, and everyone knows if your going to show a fox body it’s 93 cobra or lx.
Bullits are typically a sticker package and very minor ford racing bits thrown on a GT. Works for Ford though, in the early 2000's people were willing to pay cobra/mach1 prices for what was essentially a GT.
Eh, long live SVT. I always thought Ford performance was a terrible name anyways.
