Well, better braking and lateral grip is just about impossible due to basic physics. They wear the same size tires, both ford spec Cup 2’s, yet one weighs in excess of 350-400lbs heavier. Actual skid pad and braking tests show the R to be superior; the only advantage in this area the 500 will...

Just as an FYI to anyone reading this thread; all season tires are absolutely not capable year round. “All-weather” tires, a different category from all-season tires, are capable of maintaining their grip once temperatures drop below 7*C. All-season tires, no matter who says different or what...

1/8th mile is the only track we have in our province, not circuit, no 1/4. Took my R there twice for shits and giggles to make a few passes, best I managed was an 8.2X at 92.6mph with a 2.2X 60ft. Couldn't get a better launch than that, trap speed was strong though. Tried launch control but...

The big willow test is literally the go to for every Chev fanboy who don't know all of the details, or purposefully leave out the details that make the whole story. It doesn't show it in that "fastest laps" leaderboard, but on the day the 350R set that slow time, the ZL1 was only 0.39 seconds...

Hell, they only just started getting out of ADM's on regular 350's into its THIRD year of production LOL sure lost out on a lot of buyers alright....

What does a race track or 85+mph have to do with using a manual??? Pretty weird logic there. My R will almost never see a racetrack (none here in my province) and I'm not frequently over 85mph. But I wouldn't have even looked at the car if it had an auto as the only transmission. Sorry to...

Dude those wheels are curb rashed, the tire is also torn... I sure hope for 67K they're throwng in a new set of wheels and tires..... You can find new models for not much more than that FYI if you want to search a little. Then you can get the color/options you want, new wheels and tires, and...

Well I mean, that's the best part eh, that it is literally a bunch of bolt-ons, with none of the overall vehicle dynamics taken into consideration, nothing integrated to work together as well as OEM, and people think its some super fast, super awesome car because it has XYZ suspension kit and a...

And its also an overpriced pos LOL $50K in mods on a 35K car.... total cost in Shelby's eyes = $200K LMAO

Pretty bold claims for having no concrete details of what the car will be or have :like:

Don't argue with him Harry, I think he took one too many knocks on the head as a child. Dude is delusional, and immature to boot.

Eh, I wouldn't worry about that too much. The original AMG gang believed the same thing when Merc/AMG started putting AMG badges on the likes of the "C43" aka just a C450 with a different badge to get more sales, and other similar cars that didn't follow the original AMG ethos. But hey...

The quicker shift speed over the PDK only occurred during a 3-4 (going off memory, could be wrong on gear to gear number) upshift when left in full auto. Point is, it was a farce. A big reason why the DCT's are preferred, and are better, than an auto is the speed in which it shifts after the...

No ragrets, not even one.

You are so hilariously wrong it isn't even funny lol The dynamometer itself assumes you are in the 1:1 gear... research how a dyno works. OP, go back, do a pull in 5th and you'll get better numbers.
