The finished product is actually impressively close to the concept bits in most cases. That's a feat unto itself as history has shown us; concept cars rarely look like their final product.
For instance, the tremendous disappointment that is the Subaru WRX:
Concept:
The hideous thing that...
Just gave Galpin a ring, chatted up an internet salesman and left my contact info. It's fortuitous to live so close to the largest volume Ford dealership in the world. :D
September seems to be the general consensus there as well.
Got my heart set on a manual. I've always driven autos so this will be my first manual. Thinking about picking up a manual beater in the meantime to become fully acquainted with a row-your-own but I'm fairly proficient already.
The rigidity increases are always so staggering it's astonishing. I got interested in the evolution of the stang from the fox platform onward and one of the things that leapt out at me was when going from the "fox" to the "fox-4" chassis of the Sn95 lateral rigidity was increased 150% in the...
Track pack should have you covered. Between the new multilink up front, IRS out back and structural rigidity improvements the 2015 should run circles around the outgoing s197 in the twisties. The subaru will intrinsically have a lower COG due to the mounting of the boxer engine, but s550 does...
Might be confusing dealer markup with holdback here. If you're paying MSRP for a car you're definitely paying the holdback which is a (for Ford) ~3%(of MSRP) profit margin on top of the Invoice to MSRP markup.
Well the coyote in the '15s is going to be more akin to the Boss 302 than the outgoing models' 5.0 but so far as I know we're still calling it the coyote. Just a matter of syntax I guess...:shrug:
Well if we're splitting hairs they're all FA engines which share the exact same bore, stroke, displacement, block, heads,etc. Primary differences are in the compression (lowered for turbo application) and the omission of the D4-S port injection system that toyota contributed. The engine in the...
The new 2.0 was developed for the BRZ/FRS twins and has a pretty decent HP/L ratio for a NA car. This same engine in its WRX application is making more HP and torque than the outgoing 2.5.
Well if any of the expertise is applicable here Ford dabbled in full aluminum suspension with the DEW98 platform (which is still the chassis of the formidable Jaguar XF series of sedans). If I remember correctly DEW98 almost became the 2005+ mustang chassis but was too cost prohibitive at the...
