Well GM made a serious blunder with the Camaro, the SS and the ATS. IMO (not that it really matters). With Camaro and the ATS they gave up too much livability for performance, each is just too small. With the SS, not sure, IMO they made the exact same mistake with the SS they made with the GTO -...
Not to be a dick or anything, but why mix a music into a car performance video? I couldn't stand to watch more than 15 seconds of it. Does a the sound track of a Mustang need to be drowned out by shit music? Could you pull out the terrible music and repost, please? And whomever ever came up...
Go big or go home
This is in response to the reality that most cars in this range are; dependable, fuel efficient, accommodating, attractive, etc so as a consumer why not buy the cheapest out there? Ford is smart to get out of that, however that doesn't mean they should get out of cars. In the...
I heard something like that was coming; I thought the Fusion would stay, I've never been a Focus fan. I thought the fiesta and Taurus would go the Fusion and Focus or just the Fusion would stay. On the other hand Ford is known for making decisions that have to be made.
You're conveniently forgetting the Ford Mustang led to the creation and re-release of the Camaro in the first place. Ford took a chance and created the segment in 1964, then took another chance and revived it in 2005. All GM did was copy them. The Zeta Camaro was built from an existing IRS...
I have not been in to check out the 2018 Mustang's however I own a 2016 and at 5'10" I can sit back there, my daughter is 5'3" and she has plenty of room, like 6-7" of room. For me yes I have to put my head all the way back. Still I am shocked a 2018 is that different.
The actual Mustang is a poor choice for NASCAR because they run ovals and the speeds are so high a longer car is more aerodynamically efficient. They ought to let the GTLM GT run NASCAR, it'd be the return of Bill Elliot and the Thunderbird!
I disagree that Ford should also promote a racing...
Move on to IMSA www.imsa.com; the gs series is what NASCAR was back in the 80's, except it doesn't run ovals. The sports car series is a bit different, the only cars being run that exist as production vehicles are the GT and the BMW. However I believe that series drove GM's decision to make the...
First of all we all know the S550 Mustang is NOT doing to be in NASCAR! We all know there is not a single component that will be shared between the S550 Mustang and whatever vehicle is running at NASCAR. IMO putting the Mustang in NASCAR is a bad move and instead Ford should consider creating a...
Correction
I'll correct one point; the Coyote is able to rev 900 RPM higher. Published Dyno's of the 2018 Coyote are with the fuel being cut off at ~6900 due to RSS (155mph)- "restricted safe speed" as the tests I believe are being done in 6th. The redline is at 7400 RPM, however on authority...
MT is garbage;
MT and C&D still pick truck of the year based on handling and 0-60 times, in other words they have no idea what makes a good truck. For example they also believe big wheels are a great idea for a 4x4, and they honestly believe no one ever takes a 4x4 off road. The same goes with...
Well; not sure if you follow the IMSA GS series, however the GT4 Camaro isn't being used by teams this year. When it came out a team tried it(Stevenson), they reported having a very difficult time keeping the engine cool.
The GS teams are limited to 500 HP so more or less those engines are...
The Mustang still corners quite well; it's as if because the Camaro is better, the Mustang is horrible - it's not, in fact is very, very good. You're focusing on too narrow a set of attributes. I have driven them both, on public roads I don't believe it's possible to tell the difference.
When...
I disagree with you first of all the most common competition between the Mustang and Camaro are drag races and with no skill at all the 2018 Mustang with the 10 speed is going to easily win that one. As a Mustang owner that is well aware if I were to see an SS 1LE on the road the 1LE is a better...
I'd recommend you check out a used Lincoln; the used car market flooded by years of surging sales, Lincoln's aren't in demand and are a bargain however Lincoln builds them to last a long time and they are nice.
pay through the nose
True, from a performance standpoint Audi's put out. However if you buy and Audi, you'll pay for another before you hit 200k in maintenance. A friend of mine that lives a mile away literally donated an S4 because it cost so much after 5 years to keep it on the road. And...
That's how I see it, IMO GM sacrificed way too much to achieve the performance they have with the Camaro, it's not usable. If I had to own a Camaro it'd be the Zeta car - I mean I have friends and family and wouldn't subject anyone to the backseat of a current generation Camaro.
I just hope...
I'd heard the peak for this engine was at least at 7k if not higher....I assume these guys are able to access the PCM and remove the vss...? However the last engine peaked at 384, so this one is putting down 31 HP more, or using proportional calculation 384/435=415/x, X=470HP. It makes sense it...
