Pretty sure that's no longer a 40k car...but this is all dream land anyways.

LOL.. all the things with the exception of sunroof (difficult due to the roofline design) are entirely possible however Ford opted not to include them. The Camaro has everything in that list except a 360 camera

Not sure I would want a carbon fiber structure only b/c of the cost to repair. I will say that I would like a max weight somewhere south of 3500 lbs. I hope it can be done without the need for carbon fiber. Then again, maybe fiberglass. Why should the Corvette be the only glass car out there.

What is a Graziano transmission?

I get that, but homie was saying the Camaro had them now :crackup:
Funny how it takes a supercharged 6+ liter engine to beat a tiny 5.0 liter naturally aspirated coyote in roughly the same PRICE RANGE.

Well... i was merely stating the facts. FYI here is what i've posted in my previous post

bigger gas tank
better audio system from the factory
sunroof
HUD
auto lock door when you walk away from the car
360 camera and or front camera
performance data recorder like the Camaro
engine, transmission and differential oil temperature readings
engine, transmission and differential oil coolers
power seat reclining to tie with memory seats

Camaro has everything in that list except a 360 camera...

I get now that you were talking about the original list, but I was commenting about this:

Regardless, Ford has a few thing that Chevy just doesn't:

1. A car you can see out of
2. A car people like looking at
3. A car people actually buy


I'd love for their to be an actual competition, but there just isn't. Chevy doubled down on the ugly and focused too much on track numbers. They forgot to make something you can drive every day and be genuinely happy with.
Agreed, S550 is the superior car styling wise, comfort and everyday use. At last, coolers and Tremec are included with Mach 1 - which is a win. I wish they add some more nice features in the S650.

I wish the "media" player would let me change folders while the car was moving.

Only you can do that. Relying on the car to do the work for you only leads to shame and loneliness. Showering can help :cwl:
I did the entrapment method myself. Years later I think I got it backwards.

Hey, there's nothing 'tiny' about a 5.0L engine man. Maybe the 2.4L V8s on ex-F1 cars were 'tiny' for a V8. A normal V8 is of 4L, as is a 3.0L V6, and 2.0L I4 (500cc per piston). So yes, a GM 6.2L is larger than our 5.0, but that doesn't mean it's small, and even less 'tiny' :D.

Actually my 6.4 liter is physically smaller than my 5.0. DOHC engines are huge compared to OHV. The engine bay of the Charger looks almost empty by comparison with the Mustang.
Displacement people, displacement.

LS engine = 466 lbs
5.7 hemi = 500 lbs
5.0 coyote = 444 lbs.

Also keep in mind the hemi's are cast iron dinosaur motors.
Conceived by mercedes.. the NEW HEMI HEAD design. I believe it was borrowed from a V6. But yet another 'big dog' that needs FI to beat a yote.
