Fixed that for you komrad.

I agree. I've nearly figure out how to do this on my CFTP car, without compromising the safety and without gutting the interior (carbon doors would do it, but its like having paper between you and the outside world). The downside....it would cost 2/3rds of a GTD including the base car.

Ford is on record stating the doors are still steel for crash purposes. Assuming a super light CF pre-preg layup with a Rohacell core to minimize epoxy content and weight (which will be very flimsy feeling), I highly doubt they can trim more than ~250lbs. I'd bet the car weighs near ~3800 with a...

It is very close. The PNW Ford Sales Director confirmed the HE production run QTY for the dealer I originally considered buying one through back in early 2022. The estimate at the time was ~1200.

I’ve only got 4300 on mine. But I don’t worry about them. I’ve fixed minor curb rash no problem. The clear coat is very thick and can be refinished easily. I’ve hit some potholes, so far no issues and had them over 160 multiple times. I’m still working on my dealer to get them warmed up to the...

Washington State. We have an “assault” weapon ban now which is essentially most semi auto rifles or pistols. Given the propensity of the 9th Circuit to ignore the Supreme Court, and Constitutional law in general over the last few years it appears they are intent on setting a new precedent. It...

I need….more guns to accomplish this. I’ll be sure to reference this post as a reason for the purchase(s). I may need you to help convince WA’s AG I violated our “weapons ban” with only the best intentions.

My suggestion is to payoff the guy doing the testing.

Mustangs do not have “launch I’m going to argue that mustangs do not have launch control regardless of what Ford calls it. Yes…there is a feature called “launch control” but it is not a system that is constantly sampling wheelspin and optimizing ECU parameters to maximize grip on all...

She. Balls. Drag.

DH auto is 3997 curb. 350R is 3653 I believe (or about 3700 with electronics package) at the curb + 30hp more and manual. 350lbs + 30hp is significant, though the missed shift would have made it closer. That is the biggest factor preventing this from being a good benchmark. Dark Horse R is a...

I didn’t even have to pay that much ADM for a “Golden Ticket” GT500 in the exact configuration I wanted.

What I have never understood is why in the world people want a product that causes beading. It’s rather infuriating that the water doesn’t sheet off which would reduce drying effort and prevent every drop from collecting dust, pollen and leaving hard water spots if it rains. I can’t be the only...

My story, is short and sweet 7 years of saving, working, and watching Top Gear looking to fuel a newfound passion for cars, and replace my cold, soulless BMW with something genuinely cool. Then the GT500 came out. On the test drive, somewhere around 8k rpm, at totally legal speeds, in track...

To be fair, this is about how long I expect my 500's rear tires to last....for different reasons of course :)

Regarding grid capacity and utility implementation of renewables. We deal directly with this. The quick, and dirty math is that the hypothetical case of a 2050 EV mandate, would require just under a tripling of current generating capacity to accommodate future organic growth and have correct...

World needs people to be more polite. I'll always return the thumbs-up, or a wave. Get's me into all sorts of great conversations with car people regardless of make/model.

Well, you can actually. Don’t support these business, policies, people, products and stick to actions that align with your values and don’t compromise. Be willing to sacrifice some convenience and particular luxuries and either find something new or do without it. It takes people doing the...

There are a lot of competing agendas, and it muddies the waters around legislation, infrastructure and EV tech itself. There are guys who actually believe in the tech and a green future (Musk) and then there are entrenched interests (politicians) who care about staying in office and simply...

So you got her number is what I'm hearing. Bold move, selling an entire car to get it. That's commitment!
