In a global market, where ""Murica" and "Made in the USA" are not the two most important considerations when buying a sports car, the Mustang will have to dress in it's "Sunday Best" to get any attention. The 2015 is Ford's first effort to make a Mustang that appeals to more than American...
My local Ford Dealer is a FRPP dealer/installer. For that reason, I can show the car a lot of love and still be under warranty. I can still go full retard after the warranty runs out.
Darn it. PD Cars? What the heck are PD cards?
500hp would be more than enough for an insane street car. A 600hp SC gives a 2015 Mustang GT/PP the same HP/weight ratio as a Challenger Hellcat.
I dunno. With all the talk about Voodoo, Coyotes and Cobras, I'd hate to find out they are sacrificing unicorns or baby fur seals to make their magic. I mean, if they have to, so be it, but I don't want to watch them do it.
I've been playing with some numbers.
The Hellcat weighs 4449 lbs with 707 hp. That's 6.29 lbs/hp for about $64K.
The mustang GT/PP at 3750 lbs needs 596 hp to get the same ratio and it can get there for around $50K, using the FRPP/Roush TVS supercharger which even comes with warranty coverage...
An entirely subjective decision. Only you can know the answer, therefore I shall tell you. If you track it, even once, when nobody is looking, or you find a winding road full of BMWs and Jaguars, you'll feel bad without Lemans stripes because you didn't represent. Let the hipsters have the gold...
Living in Western Washington, an Ultra High Performance Summer tire is a 4 month/year option. I'd like to have a square setup with all season tire option.
The stock suspension has to fit the needs of daily drivers, to include speed bumps, the occasional curb jump, pot holes and all the non-driving related road events. Once you start tuning, you trade away some of that tolerance for non-driving events for higher speed and that means no more short...
I liked the snug fit of the new Whipple and E-Force superchargers. Just the same, the FRPP/Roush TVS supercharger is where it's at this year, along with FRPP Borla exhausts. Now I'm just waiting for news on lowering springs. I just looked at a 2014 Roush Stage 3 yesterday and there was a notch...
The media spends millions on paparazzi, HD cameras, sound gear, rockets and satellites, industrial spying, drones, helicopters, airplanes, as well as both corporate and government access. Now they're saying they have to wait for the official press releases like everyone else and even then...
I'm more inclined to look at how the car will perform the way I plan on using it. I'm hundreds of miles away from any real race circuits. I'll be doing 8+ hour drives in the NorthWest on secondary highways and mountain roads. Up this way, all season tires are a reasonable choice. I'd rather...
