It was a '22 or '23 model. Can't remember which. 10A. My car is a Gen 1 stick shift car with nothing but a Steeda power pack. Might be making 400 at the wheels if I'm lucky. And it's not just my car that would run fenders with that 1LE. I saw stock Scat Packs and several other things...
This summer my father traded his SS 1LE with around 5,000 miles on it for a 2007 GT500. He couldn't stand how hard it was to get in/out of the Camaro, the horrible visibility, how slow it was for the money, or the cost of upgrades. It just didn't feel like a muscle/pony car at all. Felt like...
The leather seat covers have been wrinkled up like the face of a Pug on more than one GT Premium that my dealership has gotten. Fit and finish inside and out is horrible on these S650s. I still can't get over how sloppy the transition from the hood to the grille/headlight area is. A high...
I dislike "Summer Performance" tires because they only work when it's HOT outside. When it gets cool at night they start slipping. In spring and fall they are particularly dangerous. I've tried several brands. Just don't like them on a daily driver.
I also learned years ago that Pirelli...
Funny that I typed that almost 18 months ago, because looking at the 2025 order guide has me thinking that Ford is in that thought process too. Hmmm.....
67% V8 and around 27% manual trans at launch? What do those numbers look like 1 year later? Anybody have recent data?
Mainly I'm interested in the manual trans take rate. I'm curious about the lack of stick shifts on the lots, combined with the A10 trans becoming "no cost" for 2025...
Some of the '24 engines have had misfire and engine issues right out of the factory, but usually it leads to CELs being set in the computer. Scan the car and see if you have codes.
I wonder which planet that cop was on when he made those statements? Because on Earth a car that weighs 4,000 lbs. and makes only 230 horsepower and has floaty suspension like a Cadillac is not even in the same category as a Dodge Charger. A Charger with a 5.7L engine will walk off and leave a...
Well that's sort of a tricky statement that needs context, because the tune NEEDS the CAI in order to function correctly. I put my stock intake back on with my aftermarket tune once and it was a big no go. Car wouldn't even run correctly at idle much less under load. So, saying a CAI does...
On a serious note, the new age “nannies” and tracking in these new cars does push me away a little bit. I mean, who buys a car like this with the intention of NEVER passing the speed limit or barking a tire or taking a curve with a little speed? My insurance agent offered me a “discount” if...
I don't follow. The Z ran 12.5. GTs are running what, 12.6 on a good day? My buddy's A10 GT with full bolt on mods and good tires ran 11.7 but he was milking it for everything he could get without going forced induction.
USP? Nevermind just saw the post above mine.
They're going to sell Dark Horses every year from now on, right? I don't see those becoming "collectible". I do see the Mach 1 being collectible, just like the 2003/2004 iterations are still selling for ridiculous numbers compared to their...
Usually when an OE marks the base price up and the automatic trans becomes "no cost" what that actually means is in the near future the manual transmission is going away. Hopefully that's not the case here, but it sure makes sense. Would explain the price increase that hit GT and not EcoBoost...
