You are correct, until CT5-V Blackwing production ends next year, there are two vehicles in the world that offer a V8 and manual transmission.

The time has finally arrived. In less than a year, only two V8 powered American sports cars (Mustang, Corvette) will remain in production. With the Mustang being the last V8 powered vehicle in the world that offers a manual transmission. 5 years from now (2029), we could quite possibly see the...

The response you received was a little off-topic but I agree with his sentiments. 5 years ago when the GT350 IM was still $1,000+ and the 18 GT IM was only $200-300, the 18 GT IM was unquestionably the better value. In 2023, I commonly run across GT350 IM’s under $500 while the GT IM has...

Did your buddy’s sound like this?

Here’s the verdict. After 1 month with the local mechanic, I really did need a new clutch. Followed by a…you also need a new transmission from the local Ford dealer. That “we’ll thrown in a free Ford ESP” if you buy the vehicle today (bought Nov 2021, 2012 GT w/106k miles) has gotten me a brand...

I purchased a 2012 Mustang GT 18 months ago clearly knowing it had the very first signs of a failing clutch with 5th gear having a slight grind. Eventually lost 5th gear and 6th gear began to grind. Then 4th began to grind as well. A month ago, I finally had the catastrophic downshift fail where...

Agreed but you got screwed by the dealer, not Ford.

Not only that, a manufacturer extended warranty adds to your vehicle’s resale value. Just as you said, it’s a form of insurance. As such, there’s no right or wrong answer with obtaining it or not but rather how much risk are you willing to take on and does it fit with your overall risk...

What’s your response to following announcement by the company’s CEO? Not really going to happen? Dodge to phase out its Challenger and Charger muscle cars in shift towards EVs https://www.engadget.com/dodge-is-k...r-muscle-cars-in-favor-of-e-vs-085839976.html Just an April fools joke? 2024...

If you were looking to buy a V8 sports car in 2024 and you’re only options were Mustang and Corvette, which model would you choose? Consider an EV performance as well? Buy a 1960-2020 model V8 sports car?

This post was specifically regarding V8 performance vehicles, with the Mustang and Corvette being the last two standing 2 years from now, not the entire car market. There will be many ICE vehicles still being produced for quite awhile longer.

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing will be a magnificent V8 powered vehicle to buy until it’s the retired as a 2023 or 2024 model. Just like the Challenger and Charger until they are retired in the next 2 years. There will still be a couple V8 performance vehicles left in the $100-150k range and a...

The Corvette and Mustang will be the only performance vehicles of any type still being produced under $100k that offer a V8 engine. The Mustang will be the only production vehicle in the world that will offer a V8 engine and manual transmission. If you’ve been pretending this could never become...

The S550 does have unusually good visibility for a sports car. Even though, it’s an overrated argument that can be applied to most sports cars with less than stellar visibility. One thing I’ve noticed with the S197 I now own is the visibility is just as bad as the Camaro I previously owned, yet...

It’s a much lower sitting position in the Camaro. You know this is the base GT, right? Touch dial phone pad and all.

The Camaro has a much higher quality interior. The LT1 I had has the base LT interior and it’s as nice as the premium Mustang’s.

All you need is a LT2 IM and the Camaro will pull all the way to 6500rpm. The Camaro I had sounded great, just different than the Mustang. I still give the edge to the Mustang.

Barely 6 months, this happens unfortunately. Lady pulled out of an apartment complex and hit me while I was going 45mph, like I wasn’t there. Luckily everyone was ok.

And just like that, I’m back! Almost!!!
