  1. C8 ZR1

    I think it is in hyper car classification. The only production cars with more factory hp are Bugatti Chiron and Koneigsegs. Even Lambo and Ferrari canā€™t hit 1,064 hp WITH hybridization. The Revuelto is ā€œonlyā€ 1000 hp and itā€™s a hybrid. Of course the engine is NA V12 so Iā€™m not complaining. I...
  2. C8 ZR1

    That IG post says 1,064 hp. Holy crap. I was thinking itā€™ll be ~900-925 hp twin turbo. Must be twin turbo and hybrid, which unfortunately means it will be very heavy. The eRay is already about 4k poundsā€¦ Would be awesome if it was a supercharged cross plane version of the LT6 instead that revs...
  3. Idiot Tesla Drivers

    They arenā€™t that fast. More like 5+ seconds to go from 60-100 mph and trap ~115 mph in the 1/They are quick off the line though, due to AWD and instant torque. The BYDs sold in China are heavily subsidized by the Chinese government. They wouldnā€™t be that cheap otherwise.
  4. Bad News: The V-8 Mustang Just Got More Expensive

    I paid $64.5k for my new (ordered) ā€˜21 ZL1, msrp was $69k with the A10 and a few options (Nav, CF hood insert, special shift knob) - it already comes fully loaded so I didnā€™t really need much beyond those few options. I canā€™t believe how much car it is for that amount of money. My 2018 Mustang...
  5. Thinking about trading for a Mach1? Maybe?

    My ZL1's 10 speed auto is not jerky whatsoever. It also isn't indecisive about what gear to be in. There is simply no comparison between the Ford A10 and GM's tuning of the A10. The Ford shouldn't have left the factory with that programming.
  6. GT to Ecoboost

    You'll likely lose more on your trade or sale than you will save with the Ecoboost. Besides, gas mileage isn't going to be much better, esp. if you're romping on it. It still has to move a car nearly as heavy. While the Ecoboost is lighter than the GT, it's still as heavy as a V8 Camaro, so it's...
  7. Which online car search and purchase sites do you guys like?

    Havenā€™t you ever heard variety is the spice of life? You already own 3 S550 Mustangs, 2 of them Mach 1s. I get you love it, but itā€™s time to try something different.
  8. Dark Horse at Dealership

    From a design perspective, the S650 has a heavy looking front end; sort of truck-ish, and doesnā€™t look light and lithe. It also appears to have a FWD overhang, way too long. The rear is scrunched vertically and not really natural looking. Additionally, in person they look like a lightly...
  9. Dark Horse at Dealership

    Iā€™m not saying theyā€™re anywhere near the same class. My point was those cars are desirable by many, and they arenā€™t doing the tacked on widescreen. Low end manuf are doing it because theyā€™re lazy and cheap and catering to the younger crowds who for some reason think one pane of glass separating...
  10. Dark Horse at Dealership

    Supposedly, except its really just a cheap design and tacky looking. Look at any very high-end interior that's come out in the last couple of years. They do NOT have a stupid widescreen glued across the top of the dash. The new 2025 Aston Martin Vantage interior has a more traditional layout and...
  11. AC horsepower loss

    I agree with the poster above that said about 1 hp. You can calculate it. Assuming 7,000 btu/hr cooling capacity, thatā€™s 2,050 watts of energy, but A/C have a coefficient of performance of at least 2, probably 3, which means an input of 680-1025 Watts, which is 0.9 - 1.4 hp. And I have heard it...
  12. Rusty Suspension Springs

    For now, perhaps, but long term the corrosion will continue and get worse, leading to a safety issue.
  13. Whippled Mach 1 vs GT500

    IMO it's really not the ride that's the reason for the lackluster Camaro sales. My ZL1 rides completely well. I think for the vast majority it's the visibility. I'm used to it, but it's not great and a lot of people can't get used to it. The other thing is it's a little harder to get in and out...
  14. Anyone get this email yesterday or today?

    No. I made the customer service point. Your point to my reply was that I was factually incorrect by saying I was wrong; which I wasnā€™t. You also never stated anything about customer service. Just some arbitrary examples about pricing that proves nothing. So yeah, from a customer service...
  15. Anyone get this email yesterday or today?

    Clearly Iā€™m not wrong. Ford didnā€™t honor the price, plain and simple, because it was a mistake. If a sale was yesterday and they forgot to change the price today, they have no obligation to honor the incorrect sale price other than for a positive customer experience.
  16. Anyone get this email yesterday or today?

    It was a mistake, they donā€™t owe you anything nor do they need to honor the mistakenly quoted price. Itā€™s not a signed contract or even a purchase. Now if you actually purchased it at that price and they came back later to try to recoup the rest of the money, then yeah, Iā€™d say tough, you...
  17. Been a fun ride

    Why are some C7 Z06s and Grand Sports missing the front splitter and side skirts? They look incomplete without them. Your white one doesn't have them, but the red one shown above does...
  18. Whippled Mach 1 vs GT500

    For what its worth, I would rather have a GT500 than a supercharged Mach 1 w/ HP. I'd also rather have a C7 Z06 than a supercharged Mach 1. Tough call on C7Z vs GT500. Depends if you need back seats. I think the GT500s are similar priced if you compare 2019 Z06 to 2020 GT500. I wouldn't want a...
  19. Lexus charging corvette money for Mustang performance

    I like the RC F as it is different from the other luxury competition in that it has an NA DOHC 7k rpm V8 - happy it exists. It is expensive for the performance level, sure, but the car is nice looking, and I like the interior design. I believe it's intended more so to be a true GT than a true...
  20. Do you think in the coming generations the mustang gt will be able to do 0-60 in the 3 second range?

    There's many variables on this. If you're talking about the way the car magazines test on stock street tires on a street surface, it'll take a 50/50 weight distribution and 650 hp. That's what the C7 Z06 has and it did 0-60 according to Car and Driver in 3.0 seconds, again, on a street surface...
