  1. The best Ponycar...

    Interesting ! Did you work for FCA ? What do you think is the optimal cc per cylinder on a n/a engine as the best compromise between hp/torque/fuel consumption/reliability as in piston speed ? Anyways I see you point that probably the BMW 3 liter inline 6 makes the most power/torque/mpg but a V8...
  2. GT vs Dark Horse

    Point of the Tremec is that it is a reliable and sturdy transmission unlike the reputation the MT82 gathered in the S550…Time will tell if Ford addressed the problems with the version they put in the S650 now as also the Tremec is a manual that has shift action that is not as precise or smooth...
  3. Steering feel on s650 vs s550

    Yes Yes I was talking about steering feel & handling on track but tramlining obviously can only occur and be felt as the car being darty and following ruts/imperfections on less than perfect pavement..
  4. The best Ponycar...

    You forgot to mention that 500 cc per cylinder might be the optimum as in power/torque/rev happiness/piston speed when it comes to turbo charged engines but n/a is a completely different story ! I would say the optimum here is somewhere between 700 and 800 cc per cylinder to get the best...
  5. To the Road Course (Buttonwillow track) with the 2024 Mustang GT - Overheating and Clutch Issues Aplenty!

    Looks like DH with A10 still overheats but the only reason to get the DH is to get the Tremec or the forged connecting rods if you plan to SC it…IMHO
  6. The best Ponycar...

    Yes I refer to the 351/5.8...Unfortunately FORD still uses the old modular 4.6 tooling that must be 33 years old now for the Coyote only allowing for 93mm bore max...SC I dont like as it creates up to 150 hp drag...Ponys you have to feed...Expensive even in the US today !
  7. Steering feel on s650 vs s550

    Here I talked about our bad roads here in the US...
  8. Steering feel on s650 vs s550

    The S650 feeling like a VW Atlas says it all...Come on Ford you can do better !
  9. GT vs Dark Horse

    Our beers - Weihenstephaner Here we go !
  10. GT vs Dark Horse

    Here are the by far best beers of the world from the worlds oldest brewery...Germany still has the Edge when it comes to cars (Porsche) , motorcycles (BMW) , handguns (SIG 365) and of course BIER...As also the best amusement parks for adults...St. Pauli & the 'Nuerburgring... Here should have...
  11. The best Ponycar...

    I hope Jim Farley watched these videos to know what to do in the near future ; - 5.8 Liters - Tremec slightly shorter geared - lighter chassis , more neutral with better steering (feel , no tramlining with wider front tires) - no Thorsen to better control slides - real gauges with center screen...
  12. To the Road Course (Buttonwillow track) with the 2024 Mustang GT - Overheating and Clutch Issues Aplenty!

    The S650GT is a cruiser...Used Mach 1 would be a better car if your weapon of choice has to be a Mustang as additional oil coolers and Tremec goes...Wonder if the DH can take the heat in CA on tracks like Thunderhill,Buttonwillow or Willow Springs as Sears Point or Laguna Seca usually have...
  13. Dealer Test drive refusal?!?!

    Casaamigos ? Yuck ! You guys need to get schooled on Tequilas...LOL Drive your Mustangs to Tequila,MX...All I can say Addictivo , Cava de Oro & Chula Parranga ! All extra Annejo...The town itself is super cool too looking like Dodge City around the 1870's...They had even free Tequila next to the...
  14. Leasing/Financing/Trade-ins/Credit

    If I were you I would go on the internet and look for a used Mach 1 with a Tremec at a Ford dealership and get rid of that 4 cylinder Ecoboost even if it costs you money...A new 650GT costs you even more money and has Nothing over a used Mach 1...Even less as it has not the additional oil...
  15. The best Ponycar...

    Paging Thomas or James...LOL
  16. GT vs Dark Horse

    The only way I's get a automatic is a) only one leg b) go drag racing...Otherwise nothing beats being in control and rowing your owns gears and making your own music going up and down the rpm band...You can shift a manual as smotth as a automatic ! Only difference autos can shift faster and...
  17. Steering feel on s650 vs s550

    All whats missing is a torquey V8 to make it perfect...LOL Btw there are 10 , 13 , 15 and 18 speed transmissions on 18 wheelers but nowadays 90% of the truckers cant even shift a unsynchronized transmission anymore so they get ZF 12 speed automated manuals...KInd of the the GT500...LOL
  18. Leaking boot

    There is nothing to worry about as the Lithium grease would fling off anyways and the boot just keeps the grease inside the boot...What you have to worry about is water and dirt getting in which kills U-joints...So get a new boot or better since you have warranty a fully sealed halfshaft and you...
  19. The best Ponycar...

    Not previously posted here but still interesting and funny...I agree what Thomas' had to say and the goats are hilarious...LOL Too bad the never ran a Challenger WB over their course as it would have beat the 200 lbs heavier over the front ,softer sprung/smaller swaybar Hellcat WB big time ! To...
  20. GT vs Dark Horse

    Only time will tell if the new chinese made Getrag is as good as the mexican made Tremec...The Tremec is sturdy but also a little a mans transmission that needs precise inputs and not as slick as you would find in a Miata or Porsche...But it will last and take abuse !
