It's not just about performance, were it the Alpha Camaro would be the hands down top seller. Innovation sells cars, the FPC 5.2 sells cars due to it's innovation, uniqueness, sound and performance. IMO just being on a track in a capable car is the point, going the fastest? Egh, not so much...
I have heard of the 6.8, but what I have heard is it will be a downsized aluminum version of the 7.3. I don't see the Mustang driving V8 development by itself, the economics aren't there. The 6.8 is for the F150, the Mustang just happens to benefit from it. We believe we know the next Mustang...
Isn't the Mach 1 sort of a PP2? After all it adds a rear diff cooler and the the options are there to build out the Mach 1 into an even more extreme track car than the PP2. It is sad the FPC engine is going away, I hope Ford brings that one back some day. I still have vivid memories of watching...
I don't own a GT350, however when the GT350 was first released there was an article on the engine that discussed a valve "overlift" condition. Overlift would only occur only if there was enough airflow into the engine and (possibly) above a specific speed, if I recall that speed was 125 mph. I...
At the end of the day Ford sells more GT350's than GM sells SS 1LE's, as these guys said, even though the 1LE was faster he enjoyed driving the Mustang more, isn't that what it's all about? Oh and companies go broke making "most bang for the buck cars".
If someone thinks it's okay to throw a full coffee cup into someone else's car, where is the line of right and wrong for that person? He got away with it this time, got a thrill, so next time he ups the ante, makes sure the coffee is piping hot, decides it'd been funnier if he'd have hit the...
Well, if you go give it a try - sitting in the back of a Mustang you'll find you're wrong, I can sit back there seated fully upright, in contrast in a Camaro I have to have my head tilted almost ninety degrees, also in a Mustang there is room for my knees with the front seat in a livable...
Al killed the Camaro, with the redesign, it's just too small. The small size of the Camaro is awesome for those that want a track car, no argument it's a marginally better track platform, though the GT350 with the Voodoo engine more than eclipses the Camaro capabilities.
However they are...
I would agree, the FPC engine is unique and makes the GT350 an special car. The characteristic of the FPC engine with its higher rev range and the power it produces at that range, has it punching well above its weight. When Ford was running the FPC engine in IMSA it was clear no other car in the...
You'd better go and visit a rental car lot, if you do you'll see there are plenty of Camaro's there in the rental fleets. That is such a lame comment Camaro fans always bring up; reality is Camaro's are in rental fleets just as Mustang's are.
It's awful, is this a Mustang or a Camaro? this is is horrible, absolutely counter to the design principals of the Mustang. The Mustang should remain a usable 2+2. Who is looking at the Camaro and thinking it's a success? The Mustang is an afford able sports car for the masses, that means it's...
Peak on factory is at 7000 rpm because they do the run in 5th gear and it hits the maximum safe speed at 7000rpm, which causes the ignition / fuel shutoff. Likely they removed the RSS or upped it.
