Granted, there are other things and not saying that. But think what Ford does not make. The Tremec Transmission (aftermarket), the Brembo Brakes that anyone can add, the Torsen Diff another aftermarket. Ford only makes the engine for the most part. The Magnaride was not available at all, still...
Of course, smaller vehicle, smaller savings. An all aluminum body'ish, would probably save more then that, maybe 200 lbs. I am just sick of GM saying how much lighter, faster, better the Camaro is then the Mustang. GM is well known for their blown out of proportion advertising for their...
I didn't say it was the "MOST" factor of anything. That was just one example that set it apart from regular mustangs. With the Lincoln Log gone and now Magnaride for the GT and with FP horsepower options, Magnaride was the only thing left that the GT did not have.
Yes, for the price point savings in production, it could be on all mustangs, but it would make the GT350 less of a unique car. Now that the GT will get the MagnaRide, that makes the GT350 less desirable.
With the Ford F150 getting all aluminum (700lbs Less) and the new 2017 Raptor is all aluminum (500 lbs less), I would hope that Ford would go ahead raise the stakes on a low production "Limited Edition" car like the GT350 and make it all aluminum. It would inherently be lighter without the...
I have come to the conclusion I will never track mine. I had the GT Premium Track Pack and never did. I cannot wear a helmet. I can't wear a (silly looking)bicycle helmet. Too constricting. I may be a little claustrophobic. So I will never get the coolers.
Of course if all of us Tech Pack peeps could just have the Nurburgring to drive on and it only takes 8 minutes or less, then that should be plenty of cooling left before it goes limp...
I refuse to put a front plate on. Many people in Texas refuse on any vehicle. So I dare a cop to give me a ticket. I am hoping the Universe will take care of me. I am still using the paper tag in the back window that is 6 5 months expired. I have the tags in the trunk in case
It does happen all the time. I once got out of a ticket for taking a right when I was not supposed to. The cop got a call, stopped writing the ticket and said, "this is your lucky day!" and sped away. I kinda did feel lucky.....
Chances are that maybe one failed. They are just replacing them all to make sure you don't come back with another failure costing Ford more money. It is cheaper to fix things in one service call, instead of many.
