That 429! Mustang#16: Thanks for sharing that '68 T-Bird video. That is exactly the 0-60 time my Dad and I timed his '68 (suicide door) back in 1972! Highway gears for sure, shifting into 3rd gear at 80+ mph! :cheers:

I have a cammed, pully'ed, and full Bassini exhaust '04 Lighting. Ain't no high pitch bitch, the basso-profundo generated by that 2v 5.4 would make a BBF blush, pure evil!

Weight I can appreciate ones desire to "weigh" in on the difference in weights between the G5 vs. G6 Mustang (and how previous gen owners are smug with their lower weight) and the new G6 Camaro vs. G6 Mustang. Is weight the end-zone to victory? Clearly not always but it’s something we...

GM's engineering remains a world leader. Product planning however leaves allot to be desired. Why is there a CTS and ATS, both of which barely equal the sales of the previous CTS? They introduce a mid size truck when they have no plan for light duty vans, besides re-badging a horrid little...

Huh? A Z4 is the smaller and lighter BMW, the one series and 2 series is their entry level coupe and convert.

And don't forget significantly less expensive without a loss of refinement along with a true rag top.

How is that? The 1M and M3 comparo is apples and oranges (different drivetrains). A 135 vs 335? I have owned them both (N54 and N55 variations), and the 1 series is always a tick faster. The fact that the N54 or N55 can pull the weight of a 1, 3, or 5 series with similar authority is a side...

I watched this race on FS1 and again on the IMSA site. Its too bad the Maxwell/Johnson car got punted for taking its position after a clean pass and without penalty from the car in question. A judgement call of course... If the GT350R-C's can maintain its speed advantage after the nominal...

If you notice where the corrosion is; its on parts that are thick and heavy stampings or cast iron. Cast iron does not rot, and if the car is still on the road in 30 years it will either be A: a garage queen in pristine condition, or a driver. Either way the corrosion on these parts should not...

LS7 vs. 5.2 FPC The key difference between the Coyote and LS3 for example has to do with the power-band. The power-band is the RPM range between a given motors TQ peak and HP peak. Urban legend will tell you that an LS3 is a bigger displacement motor with more grunt, and a 5.0 Coyote is all...

I have an '82 GT with iron block and heads, an aluminum 4sp trans, and 8.8 LRA. Yes my '15 EB weighs 600 lbs more. The question is what "fat' are you going to give up? Given the size and footprint of the '15, that is a very hard question. My answer is size; a 7/8 scale '15 would be...

FoMoCo USA is notorious for leaving certain metals (Cast Iron usually) unpainted. Essentially their metallurgy engineers have determined which metal left uncoated will last X. The bean-counters and product planners have a number in mind that the car/truck needs to last in any North American...

On one hand I agree for legibility sake, but in reality maintaining speed on a dial meter is not hard. It's not as if we have to be exact, that's what cruise control is for.

Do we know if the GT350 is limited in terms of model years? I would think that the investment in the FPC engine alone would necessitate a multi year run :shrug:, unless it becomes the future GT motor :headbang: For me, no can do for at least 3-years (2018).

AWD overated IMO When you have near ideal weight distribution, why do we need AWD? For cars that were developed as transverse FWD yes, Subaru being the exception being designed longitude with AWD (of which the BRZ is an excellent example of not needing AWD). A balanced RWD car with the right...

Its fake I guess like any recorded music, eh? No matter for me, my mic is disconnected.

With the Ecoboost engine we have both active noise cancellation, and we also amplify the existing engine sound order. We don’t create an artificial sound, we don’t pluck one off the shelf, we bring in the real sound, process it, and play it through the car’s speakers - Dave Perciak Mustang Chief...

302R wins GTS at Motorsport Park http://www.world-challenge.com/news/series-news/item/3167-rezzetano-scores-first-career-pirelli-world-challenge-gts-win-at-canadian-tire-motorsport-park.html

A fair compariosn for sure. BMWs have a daily driver advantage, while the Mustang is extroverted and constantly reminds you that this is a "sporty" car. I do take exception to how the cars are optioned. That $37k 228 is definetly the poverty version compared to the fully optioned $38k Premium...

IKR, it sounds Nascar good, but not like any flat crank V8 I have ever heard. I was expecting at least the tuneful melody of a GT40 with that bundle of snakes exhaust crossover...
