Yes but the R&D cost of a flatplane crank engine is wayyyy higher than just slapping on a supercharger and optimizing the bore size. Keep in mind it's not just about the engine, but also building a chassis that can withstand the vibrations.

Gt500 had an msrp around $55k, I can't see the GT350 being cheaper given just how much nicer of an overall car it is

There's some unique features going into the Tech Package. Don't know the specifics, but I've heard strong rumors about some cool stuff coming out of research.

I intentionally avoid Spotify because they cost the artists a lot of lost revenue. Taylor Swift may have been the first to leave, but more and more are pulling their songs because the mass streaming devalues their music so much. And while you may or may not agree on how much an artist should...

It's because of power sells. They can advertise that it puts out 500W of power and instantly people are attracted. Try boosting the midrange a bit, I found most Ford speaker systems are pretty flat for the vocals. On the other hand, when you look at the THX speakers in the Lincolns, they...

Why not just go for torque on the auto like Mercedes did with the new C63 AMG? Small displacement v8 that revs quickly paired with 2 very quickly spooling turbos = the ultimate daily driver - now just imagine that feeling with the Coyote instead lol. Just figured it would be a nice contrast for...

Two things: 1) Completely different approaches and target customers. If you prefer the charger, that's on you - but you really can't compare the two. You say HP, I say cornering ability. In the end it's all about the target market. 2) Price won't be near each other. No one in their right...

Yeah I'm a big believer that the driving experience matters more than the raw performance numbers, and a 370z at 350 wrhp would certainly be fun to drive given the weight and balance. They'll be very different design approaches, so my guess is they'll be better at different things, but...

I'm really curious to see how this compares to your 370z as a whole. The z platform is both famous for cornering ability and notoriously infamous for being underpowered stock. But yours being at 670 rwhp, that thing is a rocket lol. It'll be really interesting to see which ends up being more...

I think a great reference for people would be to check out the differences between product-centric and customer-centric marketing. You should be able to clearly relate the differences in approach Ford and GM are taking (this becomes especially true at the luxury level). A truly phenomenal...

Realistically the Camaro will be faster. I think the fact of the matter is that GM is going for performance whereas Ford is going for user experience, which is why you see GM putting a borderline race-level aggressive performance package whereas Ford's is still very comfortable for a daily...

The RS isn't meant to be a family car. It's a race car that coincidentally has 4 doors. Odds are people who buy it will throw out the rear seats and put in a cage.

Subbed, this build is going to be great!

Also has to do with the mustang having better safety features and being more robust to crashes

Well congrats. Not sure what you want me to say, if you go to the AXZ plan website, it clearly states neither the Boss 302 nor the GT500 were eligible for A plan. Your experience seems to be more of a one off dealership - I'd prefer you didn't get the hopes of others up when clearly the...

My guess is that Ford performance will always try to offer at least 1 big naturally aspirated engine. CAFE requirements are much more important for the large volume vehicles like the F150 and Focus. But for something as niche as the Mustang, I would assume it wouldn't be out of the question for...

I have half a mind to report this to corporate. Dodge is already cracking down on dealers for added markup, and at $13k Ford aught to do something in this situation....

I'm going to respond the latter part first, it has a tremendous amount to do with supplier inefficiencies. I'm going to assume you're not an EE or CS guy, so I won't go into why it actually is incredibly complex to get the system to be bug free - just look at MFT and take my word it isn't...

That was only because it was a phased out model where they wanted to clear out inventory. Normally you can't even use A plan on GT500.

Add F150 to the list. Not even A plan works on those.
