It will buff out. Just tuck the airbags back in. Seriously; #1 concern, driver is OK. Hopefully he was properly insured. FWIW, splitter was in all probability removed because of Euro regs. regarding safety for pedestrians. Air bags deployed, sub frame/chassis and control arms/suspension are...

Brilliant observation (staying off of the brakes). I remember seeing this video a few years ago, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbpzslRUipY . At Daytona, Corey Friedman in a 911 RSR lost his right rear @180+, watch his right leg. FWIW, I've never run Daytona, but it's on the bucket list...

This is always entertaining. Some form of worn out fanboy go to. My father and grandfather taught me how properly to use mirrors as a teenager. Visibility in any car is a non issue for an experienced driver.

FWIW, owning a 2017 GT350 w/tp is what introduced me into this forum. I paid no ADM, although I did have to do some shopping and then pay for shipping. Although the sound and rev were awesome, that Voodoo drank oil like a sailor on leave, so I had to dump it. Not a brand fanboy, I just like...

FWIW, the advantage of a new car other than warranty and as others have mentioned a "relationship" with your dealer. Is that you have 100% control over a proper break in and subsequent maintenance. That level of peace of mind is IMHO, valuable to many enthusiasts.

Only a fool would pay ADM on a depreciating asset. (A timeless Thomas Tusser quote comes to mind). Paying over MSRP for a production line, mass produced car that in five years will be nothing more than a used Mustang/Camaro/Challenger that is now outperformed by the latest and greatest, is...

First of all, let me apologize that your Mustang is not as fun to shift as a 180 HP Miata. Your words not mine. Having 650+ HP/TQ is not about being able to use it all, or even part of the time. Rather, being able to utilize it when you need or want it... and having the maturity to know the...

I'm OK with that too. As well as everyone's right in a public forum to express their opinions. Animosity and disrespect are not necessary here. We're all performance enthusiasts that share the same passion. Some of us are more inclined to reach our goals via physical mechanical engagement with...

Entertainment, yes; Status, no, not at all.

"new status car" I am entertained... again.

"get one at sticker". I am entertained.

Understood. All good.

Still seeking your point. Perhaps I am slow.

My post was not directed to you, it was a response from the post that I quoted. My apologies, It was not my intent to hurt your feelings. The post was actually defending your position. As for the "slow" thing; Yes I was slow to respond to your post. On the track and cognitively... not so much.

No disrespect implied but I believe sir, that YOU have missed the point. This thread is a poll of opinion. Without saying, (like it or not) we are all entitled to our own. With regards to your earlier post, Aytron Senna, Michael Schumacher, and Lewis Hamilton depend on their lap times to pay...

Really? the greatest engine produced in 2020 will not go into a GT500. False: Every F1 car, a majority of IMSA (GT) cars and Ford GT utilize DSSV. MRC can be equated to your last comment on transmissions. Speculative; no numbers whatsoever released by Ford. Opinion; opinions vary. Based...

C8 will have DCT; The question is which car will be available first GT500 or C8? Both will use is the Tremec TR-9007. GM applied for a patent for a 7 speed DCT in late summer 2013. Development for a dual-clutch transmission for GM began with Tremec supplier Fassler in 2016. The project was...

I understand that I will never be as fast as I could be rowing gears as I would be having my gears shifted for me by a computer. With that said, the experience (for me) is much more ethereal in analog than it is in digital. My connection with the car is so much more sublime in manual. When I am...

Thank you for your well thought out 'fanboy" reply. Time will tell.

Discloser; I am not a Ford hater I have owned quite a few. I had a 2016 GT350 and liked it a lot. Voodoo had some bugs, cooling, oil consumption and low end TQ were an issue for me so I sold it. GT500 has yet to be tested in the wild. We probably won't see one for 6-8 months. Everything about...
