Even the 1.6 is a monster. It's limited by the size of the snail, but it can put down 300+ft lbs with a tune and uncorked exhaust. The 2.3 will almost certainly put down more torque than the Coyote with bolt ons.

Yes, you'll be able to fully defeat the stability control. The performance/track pack comes with an AdvanceTrac mode that will only intervene if you're about to spin out.

The EB PP+Recaro comes in almost exactly where the 2014 V6 Premium+PP+Recaros came to. However, since sync and leather steering wheels are available on the non-premium models, it sounds like all you get with the premium is leather seats.

The gear ratios are the same as 2011+ MT GTs.

Well, with only 16 pounds of boost, it's not going to make crazy power, that's maybe 300HP. The MKC is pushing like 14PSI through the same motor.

Lucky you, SYNC in my Mustang is complete crap compared to my Prius. It's usable, most of the time, just not user friendly and the fuse pulling gets old, fast.

That's going down hill with the engine off.

No doubt. Sync is a gigantic POS; it feels like it is 8 years behind the rest of the industry. It doesn't even remember that you were streaming from your phone when the vehicle was last on, meaning that you have to dig through a bunch of menus every time you turn the car on.

Well, you can sort of see what's going on in front of you. The expectation is that you'll be driving so fast that cutting people off won't be an issue.

No, you can't do that. The reason is that the injector duty cycle is independent of RPM. The IDC is calculated based on throttle position, air flow, and RPM (and manifold pressure for supercharged engines), but the relationship is not linear. It is possible to be at the redline and have an IDC of 0 (i.e., engine…

Sup V8 + Prius Buddy.

I have a new Mustang and a Prius (and a Celica). We just figure that they cancel each other out.

That's why I always negotiate ahead of time and tell them I need to know for how much to make the check out.

I feel like weight is blown way out of proportion when it comes to cars. It takes like a pound per horsepower to make a noticeable difference in performance. When I had my NB, I stripped out all of the interior, carpets, A/C, and added lighter wheels. All of this was worth easily 120lbs, but I couldn't tell a…

The Korean Car Blog has a purportedly leaked presentation from Hyundai that says for the 2015 model year, the 2.0-liter engine and all its associated trims will be discontinued. That leaves the more expensive 348 horsepower 3.8-liter V6 as the only engine option.

Lethargic? It runs a 13.8 in the quarter. That's far from lethargic.

So, buying broken cars and fixing them yourself is cheaper than buying a 100% working car? I don't understand why this is surprising. You managed to pick this up at a $5k discount because that's about what the dealership would have charged to fix it.

I had a friend whose GSR was stolen and never recovered. It was a fun car, dead simple and cheap to make faster. The prices and insurance for these things have always been pretty insane.

Tesla is based on government subsidies and crony capitalism and is headed by a South African Canadian and thus is not eligible
