Let's at least wait til the order bank opens :ford: That's a reality of the business and the market. A dealership would be foolish to appraise a car based on the future. We will appraise some cars if we know the order will be filled in 6-10 weeks and will account for that in our appraisal...

No, it isn't Correct

My first job in the car business was at a Lincoln/Mercury dealership in the late 90's. I used to LOVE Mark VII and VIII's. They're practically got me in the business. Those cars were relatively "unique"; IOW there wasn't a Ford equivalent. The Navigator even got its own engine that wasn't...

Raising the rev limit has ZERO effect on peak torque.

I heard this same information from someone in attendance at PRI as well.

I confirmed Job 1 today, although this early in the game I wouldn't be surprised to see them pushed back considering the increased emphasis on QC.

Have you compared weights of a v6 vs a 4cyl? How about a 6r80 vs a transaxle? What does a driveshaft and rear axle weigh?

Not so weird; they're wrong also.

A shot in the foot...

:clap2:

Every day.

I read it. You're just wrong. In order for Corvette to maintain its relative weight GM has had to resort to using entirely different materials. These materials COST MORE to maintain an overall vehicle weight that now includes airbags, ABS equipment, crash sensors, door beams, etc etc...

That's collision warning, not HUD.

Because Ford doesn't know how the market works. :doh: Let me ask you this: you keep hailing the Corvette for its ability to maintain its weight throughout the years, yet defend the fact that while a two seat sports car and smaller than the Mustang, is barely lighter. How is this justified...

So we have supposed car guys in this thread heralding the Corvette and 370Z for size and weight. The Corvette costs nearly twice as much and is a 2-seat sports car. The 370Z comes with MUCH less hp in the form of a smaller V6, and also seats 2. These factory "lightweights" undercut the Mustang...

Assuming this is accurate, why does everyone keep trying to make their own "imaginary" engine. We started with 2 rumors; 5.2 and FPC We've all but established the displacement and how it is derived. We know the new Coyote has better heads, cams, etc, allowing for more theoretical power...

Why?

Well since a FWD transaxle and small 4cyl engine with no rear axle and gears, are MUCH lighter than a v8 with its matching transmission and driveshaft, along and the larger brakes, wheels/tires etc, it's really not hard to comprehend.
