I remember that. I had an 85 GT and IIRC the next year the hp dropped by 10. Lots of folks got mental about that. The real beauty of the 85 GT is that it was the last carbureted Mustang. The end of Holley 4 bbl's is what made me mental.
Not a single moment before I absolutely have to. Which may or may not happen in my lifetime, though I can assure you that I would not go willingly if it does.
I'm no fan of electric cars. They're the future but I don't like it. But long distance freeway trips are reality.
It will certainly change how we plan road trips which I'm fine with. In the grand scheme it's probably better that people get out and walk around a bit for 30-45 and plan trips that way. What you said is what I was getting at. You need these electric stations even in the po-dunk areas of the nation.
I looked at if my parents took a Lightning or Mach-E to Florida. They like to drive straight through from PA. It would basically be a 1hr break/charge for Lunch, then Dinner, then a break near the end of the day to stretch legs/walk the dog. Then they would arrive. This is assuming Fast Chargers though.
Exactly what I was thinking. You may see another version of the Gen3 with something improved but Ford is not about to invest into a new engine for likely the last ICE generation we'll see. I think we have hit a performance high with the 5.0 and its output with Gen3 which is why I think the next one will be a slight bump if anything. I hope I'm wrong but with everything going on today and the recent "editions" being released, I am a bit skeptical.
not at all smaller engines making big HP look at a car like an audi rs3 or other small turbo engines but those will be going also the libs want everything electric by 2035 in some states and countries the laws already written cali you won't be able to buy gas after 2035
That will likely change when, after the five hour leg, they find all the charging stations already in use, and maybe also five other cars waiting. They may find they'll have an awful lot of leg stretching to do.
The current GT is a Gen 3 Coyote. The current Bullitt/Mach1 is a Gen 3 Coyote with a different intake manifold... Cylinder deactivation is Ford's way of breaking the Coyote motor. It's a "feature" nobody wants nor does it add any value to the vehicle. All it does is create additional complexity. One more thing to go wrong. They need to end it with the Gen 3 Coyote how it is. Not follow GM's steps down a rabbit hole. GM started with cylinder deactivation and now have what's called Dynamic fuel management technology. It has 17 different cylinder patterns for turning off cylinders. What a bunch of idiots... Alas... whatever the F-150 gets the Mustang will get... unfortunately.
