Have you ever gone 9 seconds in a car? I admittedly haven't, but I'm pretty sure it's far from boring

My boring point is the fact that there is no interaction (auto). May as well get a tesla.

I like manuals myself too, but I could have a lot of fun in a 9 sec auto.

Well, PlayStation is better

Not if you play Fallout 4.

El-oh-el.


I'll be building a PC for my photography side business and not worrying about having the latest and greatest tech to keep up with 4k+ gaming.

I would drive a tesla.

I get all my elite tier PC Hardware from www.overclockers.co.uk though I might be bias as I work there, haha.

I would drive a tesla.

I would too, especially the roadster. It would be my DD since most of my commute is in heavy traffic. The instant torque of an electric motor is very fun. Even a few other electric cars I've driven with no performance intentions like the Ford C-Max were in a ways a little bit fun to drive because of the off-idle torque.

All the guys I've seen that want to go faster ditch Di because there isn't HPFP to support them. My buddy is trying to build a 1300whp one currently. His only option is to ditch his lt4. I still find the lt4 and lt1 to be garbage if you want more than 900whp. We've explored all his options and he has no other than to ditch DI. Didn't know some guys were going with aftermarket blocks.

Correct, but it's 433-435 hp/400 tq on 93-94 fuel. At 91 fuel it's only 422-425 hp/390 tq. And it's important because many states are doing away with 92-94 octane fuel. And, Ford is the ONLY manufacturer that rates their performance vehicles on 93 or higher fuel. So it's not a legit comparison to a Cam SS or Dodge, if one is to go based on power numbers. Just like a proper byno is done "hood closed"... And how tuning/speed shops refer to tq saying "ft-lbs", when in fact it's stated correctly by magazines and manufacturers as >>, "lb-ft"... And, there is a huge difference between the two.

Pretty sure Porsche and all the exotic car manufacturer's count... ;)

One magazine wont have a problem general motor trend will always pick a gm product of a Ford :shrug:

And that is why the GT350R won back to back Head2Head's against Chevy's flagship Camaro's the Z28 and the new ZL1....

One of my many arguements for the Mustang over the Camaro

I saw that too. They're butt hurt for sure and their argument now is always about how the alpha chassis is superior. I'm probably never going to track my car so I'll probably never tell the difference. Even my wife when given the choice said the Camaro is ugly and way to cramp inside and she's only 5'3"!!!!! Plus let's not forget DI valve coking that the LT1 suffer from and even motortrend commented on oil consumption on their long term tester.

One of my favorite (of many) arguments for the Mustang over the Camaro is the difference in JD Power rankings.

id love to get my hands on a new auto (even though i dont want to own one unless its a manual) and do some weight reduction on it. You'd pick up some good times with doing weight reduction alone in this car. Its definitely a force to be reckoned with. And to think, I was only inches away from trading my ST in on a new challenger TA 392..... I waited specifically on the new GT info to be official.. now the wait on actually being able to build and price one and spec it out the way id like... THEN i can make a decision and buy a car.

Sadly, 460 hp is on 93-94 octane fuel. So it can't be legitimately compared against the Camaro .Actual proper power is 448 hp/408 tq on 91 fuel, to keep things in an even plane with Chevy and Dodge, that rate their power on 91 fuel. Still disappointing. Very little torque, 45-65 extra lbs of weight, equals 0-60 in a still quick 4.3 sec. 12.8@113 in the 1/4...

Is this a fact or you just trolling?
