Ford specifically said that the tick is an “operating characteristic of the 5.0L engine and no repairs should be attempted.” I guess they didn't say "normal" but that is implied.
One would think that Ford knows what it is, that it's NOT a normal operating characteristic, and that they would actually fix it starting with the 2024 new model. But, we shall see.
I think technically you are right. But, in the enthusiast, sports car world, that's not reality. Sure, everyone has different criteria that runs the spectrum for what is a great sports car to them. But, let's be real. As evidenced by this and other forums, relative performance is a factor...
I did read your uniformed post. Go do some research; read some articles. Yes, we know the chip shortage has affected everyone to varying degrees. The fact that your Mach 1 took 6 months to get has nothing to do with what is going on at GM, how they allocate their few chips, what plants they...
Not hard to believe - I'm talking about 2021 sales. The chip shortage - you've heard of it right? That's the reason for nearly non-existent 2021 camaro sales. Production ceased for months and there is next to no inventory nationwide. That said, yes, the decline in sales over 10 years has...
I'm considering foregiong my M1 order for a '22 ZL1. Not sure yet. I did take a 2017 ZL1 for a short drive a while back and was extremely impressed with the get up and go. Not enough seat time at all though to really appreciate it, or the driving dynamics. When I gave it more throttle when I...
I wouldn't get too excited; from when I started getting emails, my updates went like this for production weeks: Sept 13, August 30, August 23, August 16, August 9, then back to August 23 a week ago.
This is going to be a gradual shift to all electric over probably a 30-40 year period, in my estimation. I suspect few new ICE cars will be for sale on or after 2035 or so (or at least selection will be greatly reduced). Then, you need another 20 years or so to use and retire most ICE cars...
Cuss and discuss:
Well, this video will have you thinking about the not so distant future, V8s, value, collectibility, obsolecence, nostalgia, end of an era, change, etc.
