That's pretty harsh, seeing as the accident really hurt him.
FWIW, the guys that race P-51's have mostly gone to total loss cooling systems to get rid of the belly scoop used to route air to the heat exchanger. Getting rid of the cooling drag is reported to be worth 1,000 horsepower and nearly...
Agreed.
The Z28 frustrates me. P Zero's are some kind of tires. Cam in block V8's pack a lot of power for their size and weight.
Big expectations for the GT350. If nothing else, it should sound amazing with a 180 degree crank.
Disappointed there are no V6, 6 spd, 6G reviews.
Disappointed there is not a $25k and something base PP set up (might have to build my own).
Ford wants the spotlight on the EB and very likely does not want to share it's stage with a cheaper / better option.
Our family just had the choice of a...
With aggressively increasing CAFE standards, we may be nearing the day that a V8 is truly an "exotic" engine. Might be worth spending the money to enjoy them while you can.
Can you imagine what the last V8 mustang will be worth?
Worst year (last year) was 9.7% Average is closer to 30%. This year is looking good so far. If you can find a use for cash, then I'd say preserve cash. ... and never consider the house you live in a "flip" so as to take advantage of the cheap mortgage to leverage yourself into more than you...
Fionic,
Edmunds true cost to own might be a good reference for the difference in operating costs and total costs. The GT's cost more, so they depreciate more (generally speaking). The gas alone (GT to V6) is only like $700 a year.
Of course the Boss has done just fine in value YMMV as...
I don't get the idea of aftermarket tuning something as highly engineered (and stressed) as the EB motors are.
I mean, if it were easy to achieve usable, reliable, gains, don't cha think Ford would have done it already?
... tuned turbocharged 4 cylinders are terrible to resell for a reason ...
Wilson,
Kind of a boring topic for a Mustang thread, but ...
It depends on what other uses you have for cash. The trick is to best employ your assets and as you get older, you will realize assets are tools no different than a wrench. Cash allows you to do deals and make money that...
Split the difference, save cash; V6. Go the Feshta route and mod it.
I love the way the Coyote sounds, if they put a flat plane crank in it I will probably lose all control and run to the dealership crying "TAKE MY MONEY PLEASE!" Until then, I like the way the V6 sounds.
When you see...
OK, yeah I want a V6, probably
I've got the 3.7L V6 in my F150 and for a couple of years now I've thought what a nice engine it would be in something that weighed a ton less and handled. It makes nice power and nice noises. It gets a little over 24MPG on the highway, even with the 3.73 LSD...
Yes, I wish it were smaller. More, I wish it had gotten the aluminum makeover that removed 750 pounds (average) from the new F150.
I don't know how Mazda is going to hit their weight targets on the new MX5.
The 3.7 V6 does great in my F150. Be a perfect engine for this car. My my figuring the V8 is another $10,000 by the time it is done.
Starting to think a stripped Deep Impact Blue is the deal of the decade. It's a shame we can't get a Performance Pack on that combo. Of course, that is...
I have the 3.7 L V6 in my F150. It's a engine that likes to rev, gets good mileage, has bulletproof reliability and needs only to be unburdened of over a ton of truck. Before I knew of the 2015's Mustang's specs I thought, "man, that would be a great engine in a sports car."
I may order a GT...
