Correct which begs the question of why they're using a correction factor at all except for temp. Surely you can see the contradiction between your statement and the reality of the situation.
lol at 50k when c7 Stingrays are selling for 55k. I bought my gt for sub $35k otd. Where are you guys getting these numbers? Do you just go to the builder and order EVERY option? If you do that then at least compare apples to apples. 69k is STARTING for the bmw....
There's about 8 of us with 2018 mustang gts at work and none of us have managed to break our shift forks yet. Three of us drag race and all of us are pretty spirited. I am not saying it's over played, but I am saying it may be batch related. If mine breaks I am just going straight to the...
Customer service is very important but not sure comparing a turbo kit that bolts to stock manifolds with something that requires a new design entirely is equatable for the value, though.
Not personally worried about putting a diff cooler in or tranny cooler in. I see it as par for the course for RR.
If that's all this convo boils down to then great!
The thing about the correction factor is that the motor never really experiences the torque that it would in the theoretical environment. It put down the torque necessary for 940whp under the conditions of the day, which is awesome. However, it did not undergo the extra 200 ft/lbs or so of...
Love the absolute control of acceleration and grip that electric cars offer. Hate the weight! I can't wait for battery tech to progress enough to be economical, safe, and light. That's the tipping point for electric cars. The market will struggle with this for a while as adoption rate...
Nah put your money where your mouth is and learn the difference between a drivetrain rated at 450ft/lbs+ torque and one of dubious origin that can't be fixed when things start breaking. Go ahead. Get to it.
Please... I want to hear your best arguments...
Having came from the import world, I'm not driving any import awd platform that isn't an Evo 9, STI, or GTR. Every thing else is made from glass and even these are pretty much walking a thin line. It's laughable, LAUGHABLE, to imply that the stinger is somehow more resilient in its failure...
The guy has raced a bit in the past but obviously has no experience with this specific platform. He had no idea the car was spinning until it was too late. He got cocky.
Is it 2.7l turbo? If it's an inline motor with forged internals from the factory then it's a somewhat, well, somewhat reasonable choice.
If it's the typical open deck, cast rods, mediocre torque bs then this is fail.
I take issue to his belief that anyone who finances a car is a fool and that statement was made to make it sound as ridiculous as it is. I thought that would be obvious given the explanation that followed it.
I swing trade and money used on a car instead of financing is a substantial loss.
It's a given that financing anything means you can't afford it. That goes for v6 mustangs as well.
Just throwing numbers out there for a nuclear family:
1500 a month for a house/utilities
1500 a month for 401k max
1000 a month because kids
800 a month for food
400 a month for gas
150 a...
