I am looking at going to Gingerman this year. But, really just for enjoyment. Drag strip a few times. If I do the gear, I would like something about 4.30. But don't think anyone makes something in that area. I know doing the math, with a rear axle ratio of 4.21 it will be the same overall...
I thought I would give some feedback on the comparison of these 2 models.
In 2019 I bought a new Bullitt with the electronics package and magneride. I owned the car for about 8 months and in that time I put a Whipple on it and a few months later sold it.
I ordered a new Mach 1 in late 2020...
I ordered a 2021 M1 in 2020. It was iconic silver with the upgraded wheels, manual and all the other available options except the Handling pack. The car was excellent in all ways except that which is an issue in the manual getrag transmission as well (though the M1 has the Tremec) which is long...
I ordered an Eruption green 10 speed about 6 months ago and my ordered was just cancelled. I am in a priority position for a 23 which I "rolled over" my order to. So you know if there are any new colors for the M1 for 2023? The build and price site is still for '22 which you cannot order.
I just got an email from Ashleigh at Granger motors I just got an email from Ashley at Granger motors. My 2022 eruption green has been rolled over to a 2023 eruption green. She said my order would be prioritized whatever that means. They're still offering the same discount etc. I'm keeping the...
Well, the Mach 1 I ordered likely will not come in this year. So, that said, I am looking for a way to get better ride quality. I have the stock 20" wheels and stock Goodyear A/S performance tires. I realize the tires are part of the poor ride quality. So, I am in the process of looking for a...
that's not what happened last year. I got a VIN from Ford within a week. Then nothing for several months. Then a production date, then they changed it several times, then they gave a delivery date, then they changed that twice.
For a VIN? Really? Wow. It took 5 months to get the M1 last year, but I still got the VIN in a few days. I am starting to wonder if I will get the car this year.
I ordered my '22 M1 about 2 months ago. No VIN yet. In Jan '21 I ordered a '21 M1 and got the VIN in 3 days. Zach at Granger says he has no idea when the VIN will be available. The dealerships are hurting bad, I think with no inventory to sell. I am getting close to just canceling the order...
Interesting reading. I sold my M1 last summer because of things beyond my control. But I have done suspension stuff on other S550s as well as having owned a Bullitt with Magneride, but the Bullitt was just PP1 with mag ride.
I have since ordered another M1 in auto. So, I can say, to me, the M1...
And, you still have to use oil to make them, And, the oil used in the gearboxes have PBB a known carcinogen in them. Talk to farmers that did this 5-10 years ago and there are many sad stories associated with them. It is simply ridiculous!
But, we live in a world of feelings. If it feels good...
I think you miss the fact that no technology is renewable. The cost of producing wind generators is significant and uses tons of fossil fuels to make. The lifespan is purported to last 25 years but there is now evidence that many don't make it 5 years. The parts end up in a landfill. Made of...
This is absolutely correct. Well known. Politics are keeping us poor and dependent on government. In 1920 there were 421 publicly traded automobile companies on the NYSE. Today only one is left which has not gone bankrupt: F Markets demand determines pricing and product. In a free market it...
If you look at the following graph you will see the effects of politics on oil prices. Certain folks in government are sold on the evils of fossil fuels and nuclear power and create a hostile environment for oil producers to fit their beliefs. What they fail to see is that you still need to...
On top of those comments, the biggest issue is finding the raw materials for the EVs. I can remember reading that current known supplies of lithium, cobalt and nickel are less than demand which will create some real issues. Also as fuel prices rise, so do related fossil fuels such as coal, oil...
