When I used to AutoX (ESP) my 105" w/b Fairmont against 99" fox body Mustangs (same width), I usually came in 2nd to competent drivers. My Fairmont was built using factory HO and aftermarket trimmings in terms of sway bars, camber plates, Tokico struts, chassis bracing, tires etc. and I could...

Mopar did not have a credible RWD V8 Pony car between 1975 and 2007; so yea all the old fogies get misty-eyed.

I have a PP EB in FL, smooth roads, rides nice/taut and never harsh. I test drove a GT convert w/o PP in WI, frost heaved roads and rides about the same; taut and not harsh. The brakes are the same, and perfectly fine in the heavier non-PP convert. Compared to a 4 series BMW that has...

2 Series BMW 228 with m/sport. I was going to order and glad I didn't since the the 228 demo drive was disappointingly dull. The EB is a better driving car IMO and $10k less.

Frankly as much as I love the 5.0 motor, as a DD i really am glad I have the EB. Good fuel economy, and you can spin the tires at will. All for allot less money. Once you look at GTs at or around $40k I don't think they are as impressive in terms of quality and value. Although I would have...

Sounds great! Seems very smooth and good job putting the power down. EB FTW!

Way over played IMO; panel fitment. I have no panels rubbing together, the body is sex on wheels, and the doors close better than any Mustang I have ever owned (7 and counting). I would make it more of an issue had I bought a $40k Premium GT, but a non-premium EB PP OTD for less than $29k...

Nice looking car! I love my EB Mustang!

With all do respect if you can't or don't appreciate the difference, its just an opinion. Sure its more expensive than a GT, but its offers the beholder that likes it and can afford it what they want to see and feel. If only FoMoCo or Detroit (Tesla being the American exception) offered cars...

The S550 is also a big car. It has a looong hood, like a "personal coupe" from the seventies whereas Fox body sight lines are more akin to a BMW E30 by comparison!

Ford has virtually always used 3rd party teams. Ford Racing developed the GT350R-C, however whether it was Roush, Holman and Moody, Penske, Shelby American, Newman-Haas, or Zakspeed they all took what Ford provided and developed it into racing success. A contract is a good thing since it...

I will let you know how my 135 N55 DCT does (if I keep it long term), no problems so far but it only has 20k mi. In the meantime I will enjoy the smooth power, quick shifting tranny, comfort and FE. I frequent the www.1addicts.com/forums and the biggest issue with these cars is the HPFP fuel...

The next (low margin) Focus will move there, and medium trucks are coming back from Mexico http://www.at.ford.com/news/cn/Pages/Ford%20Secures%201,000-Plus%20U-S-%20Jobs,%20Starts%20Truck%20Production%20in%20Ohio.aspx Trump=Duche

Season points order.

I was at the CTSCC race on Friday at RA. During the fan interaction time on the starting grid prior to the race, I had a chance to speak with Scott Maxwell of the #15 Multimatic GT350R-C. Although they did not qualify due to rain, he knew enough during practice that they had little chance of...

LOL! While 8 seconds is an eternity between corners in one gear, I wonder if this was active say for the 2+ mile Mulsanne (pre chicane era) straight at Le mans, during which time the the car is over 6250 for well over 8 seconds, would the RPM reduction apply at WOT?

Just because you can't put a value on something you see as too expensive to put in your budget doesn’t mean its not for someone else. German cars are worth it, and no amount of your bashing (outsourcing is part of the biz) will make me change my opinion which is based on my experience. While I...

Dude, its not the motor, its the muffler location. Mid mufflers on the SN95 and Fox give that trademark hollow chambered sound. '05-'15 are all rear mufflers and are rather in your face blatty, dare I say more like a Camaro (och! I just bit my tongue). Think of it this way; its like a brass...

I disagree with pretty much everything you said. You may be Master tech, I have owned various German, Swedish, Japanese, French, and American cars since 1983. I have also modified, built many engines and complete cars as a hobbyist over the past 28 years. While Subaru's may be easy to work...

Its a drivers race IMO - isn't always? It not the Nike's, its the feet... Yes the F20 335 is soft with light steering, however once you activate Sport mode (engine and chassis) and defeat stability control; it can be a devastatingly fast sedan, even on its measly 225/45 series tires. Also...
