It is true that the Camaro's performance has been consistently better than the 'Stang around a race track. It is also true that Ford's car has been a higher seller than Chevy's, which in my view is more important. How many people actually take their car to a track and push it to it's performance...
The Mustang is Ford's most iconic vehicle, but not their highest seller. If and when the Camaro is axed I doubt Ford will spend the same r&d dollars, that wouldn't make economic sense. I do not believe they will ever get rid of the Mustang, but it will change. I think we will see an end to v8...
Most people buy cars as daily drivers, not track cars. If they have a family or need to carry more than one passenger, the Challenger is the only one of the three with a useable rear seat. Besides, Mopar guys are very loyal.
I would like to see Sean Kieran auction off the original at Barrett Jackson along with the first 2019, and give part of the proceeds to charity. I bet it would go for more than 300 grand. McQueen's Ferrari recently sold at auction for $6 mill, four times higher than normal value. I'm glad it...
Since this supercharger is co-developed with Ford I wonder if we'll see it or a variation in the GT500 next year. If so, than we can probably expect the GT500 to produce at least 700hp.
Appointing Jim Hackett as new CEO is not just about profits. When you consider the division he headed, it is about the future of the automobile industry. With electric self-driving vehicles eventually becoming the norm, most people will not drive or own their own cars. No car in the garage, no...
I was thinking the same thing. Even the chopped off head lights look like a design cue from the GT. I like the new tail lights, but the front fascia does not flow right. Seems like they designed it to compete with the angularity of the Camaro - bad move Ford.:doh: Looks like a photoshop cut and...
It is impressive that the GT350R did so well against other cars costing so much more. It is also impressive that General Motors Trend is so enamored with the GT350R.
V8TT AWD would be awesome, but I have doubts Ford could shoe horn all that under the hood. TT over SC because that is where Ford's tech has been going. My guess for horse power is 750+, just enough to beat Hellcat.
I'm reading a lot of criticism. I actually like it a lot. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the second pair of vents on the hood. With that being a custom hood I think they could have done better with one pair of longer vents.
I wonder if the platform will remain relatively unchanged and the styling and tech will be updated. Ford put a great deal of R&D into the S550, seems too soon for a ground up redo. With the potential new name being S650, maybe it will be more like the transition between '98 and '99 with the "new...
With upcoming cafe standards, V8's will become a thing of the past, just like carburetors, metal bumpers, and front bench seats. Consider the outrageous surcharge and tax Europeans have to pay for larger displacement engines. It's a new era my friend, say goodbye to 5.0.
