  1. Do you want to see an AWD Mustang? Is it still a Mustang?

    I highly doubt they will make any mid-engine corvette competitor as they already have the mid-engine GT as a halo car. They won't be putting out two of those, so they either lose the mustang, or lose the GT, and probably both, with the new one disappearing after a few years. AWD would benefit...
  2. Do you want to see an AWD Mustang? Is it still a Mustang?

    I have no issues with AWD for a Mustang, so long as they do it right. For comparison, I looked at the Ford Taurus SHO, and the BMW 550 AWD. When I put the power down in the SHO, the front wheels exhibited a lot of torque steer, and the obvious bias was to FWD. In contrast, when I did the same...
  3. Exclusive!! First look at the new Whipple 3.8L Gen 5 Whipple kit!!

    heh, my first thought was "That was the size of the engine in the Thunderbird Super Coupe" This will be...interesting.
  4. Ford Will Now Sell You Its 7.3-Liter 'Godzilla' V-8 as a Crate Engine

    If I still had it, I would put this in my old '72 Thunderbird....
  5. Rented a Camaro

    People like the things they like. My wife prefers the Camaro over the Mustang, I prefer the Mustang. Choice is a good thing. Competition is a good thing as it keeps the cars moving forward and makes manufacturers innovate, rather than stagnate. It's good that the Challenger and Camaro exist...
  6. 7th Generation Mustang (S650) Moved to 2022...

    heh...don't convertibles usually have more headroom? seriously though, if you are short in the torso, you can put a helmet on in most cars (or wear a helmet in most cars. If you are tall and your torso is long (like mine is), you can't even wear a helmet in most cars. I would say that 90...
  7. 7th Generation Mustang (S650) Moved to 2022...

    I am a EE in the power field, so yes, I like electric.... But I also want RANGE. And that's something electrics can't do...yet. Could it be done? Yes. But it will also take a huge investment in infrastructure. It will also require us to be smart and may require manufacturers to make some...
  8. Who’s Gonna Buy The Mid-Engine Corvette C8?

    It will depend...do I fit? Current/last gen I did not....
  9. My first Mustang! disappointment!

    Please, PLEASE...learn about your car before you start doing stuff to it. Do a lot of reading. If it's on the internet, be skeptical of the source. Rules of thumb (again, be skeptical, even of me) If you don't know what you are doing...and I mean REALLY know it...find a friend who does who...
  10. Who will swap for the new 7.3 V8!

    With that power and torque, I would love to see a marine version of that engine... Even if it was detuned, it would give the 454 a run for it's money, and should be more efficient than the 8.2. It would need to be modded to run at sustained high RPM, would need marine exhaust, and even then I...
  11. 7th Generation Mustang (S650) Moved to 2022...

    You had a lot of great points on the Camaro, and I think Mr. McElroy's points on the Challenger are spot on as well. I am wondering what Dodge is going to bring to the market, and what Ford's plans are as well. Personally, I would love a bigger car than Mustang and after 2+ decades of hating...
  12. 7th Generation Mustang (S650) Moved to 2022...

    yes, it would, which is why the new platforms are being generated. Electrification is a really good thing, but it does have a few major issues. 1) Taxes. In the US, gas taxes pay for a lot of the infrastructure we use. How do we translate this to electric and plug in hybrid cars? With them...
  13. Ford Key Fobs can be attacked by hackers!

    Not sure if Ford uses that fob or not, but that looks like a BMW fob on the video splash screen....
  14. 7th Generation Mustang (S650) Moved to 2022...

    Challenger is still (sort of) a competitor. If the Camaro is truly axed, then upping the size of the Mustang to the Challenger might be right. If I understand it correctly (and I may not, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong), CAFE has a "footprint" component to it as well, so the bigger...
  15. Next gen Camaro supposedly being canceled (all threads merged)

    While I hope it isn't true, I highly suspect it will be. Chevrolet and GM in general is moving towards a set of vehicles where the Camaro no longer makes sense. More hybrids, electrics, maybe even fuel cell. The Camaro is a track beast, but as a daily driver, it stinks. My wife and I looked...
  16. GT350 vs GT Premium Track Pack vs Bullitt

    You are assuming that the dealer lets you test drive it. I saw one last summer with a note in it "test drives are reserved for the owner of the car" 6 months later, I saw the same car, with the same note... Stupid to be charging a premium and not letting legitimate prospective buyers test the...
  17. Socialism good or bad?

    A lot of the problems that exist today is because of well meaning, but flawed legislation. Push for benefits for full time workers, and companies cut worker hours so they don't have to pay benefits. Keep adding regulations to corporations and also say "there will probably be more regulations"...
  18. DC Auto show, first impressions (LONG)

    I'm about 45, and I am looking for a car to replace my 2013 BMW 550i with M-sport package and active suspension. My prior cars were a Lexus 2004 GS430 (I chose the Lexus over the M3, but the feel was a bit soft) and a 97 Thunderbird V8 with the sport package. I do own a Ford F350 4x4 that I...
  19. DC Auto show, first impressions (LONG)

    I went to the DC auto show today to look at some of the new vehicles, and to start the (very) long process of finding and buying my next car. I looked at the traditional 3, plus a huge host of others. Here are the ones I found interesting. As an FYI, Mercedes, BMW, and Cadillac were not...
