Versus the current 5.0 this is whats comi g: The IRS unit alone is over 90lbs heavier than the old log rearend. Bigger 15" brakes up front on performance pack adds 25lbs more weight vs today's tack pack 14's... The 20" wheels add another 20lbs, the line lock adds 15 lbs, the upgraded standard...
No chance this car will be ANY faster or quicker than a BOSS on a track. Not going to happen. Chevy did the same thing with the C7. Said it'd be lighter and it's actually 122 lbs heavier then the loaded GS C6 vette. The domestics are really taking the quality,fun out of driving by building these...
The FPC engine would first see duty in the European market, not here. And yes it would be tested here. lots of climates in the U.S. match those in Europe and so do some streets in areas.
You guys have bad hearing or have not heard the V6 mustang much. This IS a V6 without a doubt. Sounds the same as a customer that as a slight exhaust upgrade on his 2013 V6. Things I do like: same super sticky next-gen Michelin Pilot Supersports tires that are on the new C7-Z51.... I love these...
I'd report the dealer that said non-refundable deposit to FORD. Shocking to see GT take a huge price increase. The 5.0's updated hp better be over 435hp. The car is still 3600+ lbs. sure the 2.3 turbo is 180lbs less, but? Actually the 2.3T might be the track beast of them all. This same engine...
3.7 perormance model. Thats def the V6. A FPC V8 would be an embarrassment to the mustang if it sounded like this. And these cars sound like they're running X-pipes now.they sound rather weak. H-pipe for muscle, X-pipe if you want to sound like a German V6 or small displacement V8.... It...
All the interior combos and colors along with the exterior colors will not be fully known till late May, after the 21st. There's more colors coming than this. We need a purple/plum color too.
Plus, since today's (2011-2014 5.0's) with the A6 automatic are available, drive one. They're actually a little faster than the sticks. Plus 18 mpg city in the automatic vs 15 city in a stick. This new paddleshift will just make the A6 faster. Sticks just don't put the power down well. I've had...
Takes a lot more than that. I've seen guys that THINK they know how to drive a stick correctly only to come back with a bad clutch a 1000 miles later and want automatic. Most people (90%) that drive a stick don't know that at a red light (on flat roads), while siting at the light, you are...
First off, this is nowhere near a full order guide. I know thanks to being a ford flt mgr for awhile. There's also at least 6-8 more colors coming. The head lights on this 4 cylinder are projector beam halogens. HID will not be standard on base V6 or base 4's, whereas hid is standard on current...
Having a vehicle loose power is not life threatening in the slightest. Hazard lights, steer off the freeway to shoulder, put trans in "N".... NHTSA needs to remove cell phones from vehicles first before this nonsense. Way to many people driving dangerous on the phone with children under 5 in...
Those are prototype wheels. Next, the GT350 has always Ben the top dog of the Shelby line especially in price,starting at over $80k, whereas the GT500 starts at $54K... Although the GT350 to me is just a revamped, lightly juiced up track package 5.0. It's already been confirmed the new 2015 5.0...
Norm Peterson is also correct. I must also point out all the people that go for that "wide tire" look. That look does not equal better grip/traction in a straight line. Wider will most aid in cornering and braking. I've done tons of testing on base 5.0 18x8" wheels. The 235/50 tire size is for...
You are so clueless. Think before you post the cars you just listed are all wheel drive except the F12 Ferarri, which is not a rocket due to weight.
I've done testing of wheels and the affects of changing sizes from 15-20" inches. There is a huge difference in acceleration, braking and mpg...
I've already driven one of the SVT prototypes in AZ last week. All I can say is it'll give the Z28 a run on a road course and accelerate near or slightly better then the level of the new C7 Z06 :). And frt brakes will be 15.5" or bigger. That's all I can say. Really couldn't say that but it...
Did you also know that Ford and Chevrolet will be cross-sharing 45% of the parts put in the mustang and camaro starting after 2016? that includes a 10 spd auto trans that'll appear in the C7 or cam first. The days of Mustang vs Camaro will be over in less than 2 yrs. shucks the 16' camaro even...
I admire your poor language (says a lot about you) and its that attitude that's got this country going down the toilet. You can't touch my experience with the mustang from a (build and test) R&D perspective unless you worked with/along side me at FMC in Dearborn. I've owned and raced both cars...
I hate to burst bubbles but drag strips don't count for real world. I've been R&D these two cars since some of you have been born (25+ yrs) and a tenth or two and 1-2 mph difference on the 1/4 is negligible in real world driving. Def not a smoking. It's a drivers race, period. The camaro will...
Actually the current 5.0 is no faster then the current base SS in a straight line. Forget Dodge, they need a 6.4 392 with 470hp just to keep up, lol.... The mustangs actually look bigger. They're roomier inside but are wider, lower. The car will not drop much (50 lbs) if any weight sadly. Which...
