OCGA notwithstanding, when I was young “laying drags” was a blanket term that basically meant anything you did to make the rear tires spin. If you were brave enough to press the issue, magistrates never construed it to mean anything good.

Clearly it must have been an earlier year model I had read about being a problem. I’m sure I saw something to that effect but I’m pleased you confirm it’s not a problem here. I‘m guessing the HP Dark Horse isn’t on every street corner in PR?

Thanks much for the response. I was concerned they might have lost the ones you were supposed to use.

My Gurney flap came unattached in the trunk and I’d like to put it on, but there are no screws or bolts with the flap. There are 4 bolts screwed into the spoiler itself from the bottom that don’t seem to be holding anything on. Anybody know if these are supposed to be removed and then used to...

Or worse yet, the dreaded “laying drags”!

You know guys for me it’s not a question of legalities, the po-po or even safety. I just find it philosophically hard to believe that playing a video in a hi-po V-8 car is even a topic. Carroll may have sadly left us just in the nick of time to be spared from this. But I guess I’m just...

Who is it that has a hybrid with one electric motor on each wheel? Seems like Ferrari, could be Porsche I don’t remember. Try to even begin to imagine the complexity! I accept that everyone is different but personally I just can’t see the hybrid thing regardless of any performance increase. I...

I don’t mean to be argumentative but if it were “just a production error” as you say, wouldn’t it stand to reason that Ford would have noticed it by now? And subsequently corrected it if it had the potential to do significant harm? It just doesn’t seem logical to me to think otherwise.

Probably accurate, but it won’t matter to me. I have zero intention of ever owning a hybrid or EV for any reason, period. Well, unless the EV has turf tires and is driven mostly on grass. I‘ll just keep my NA V-8s on advanced life support until one of the two of us gives out. In my mid-70s it’s...

Thanks for the reminder roadpilot. While I think the reason the holes are there is basically irrelevant it contravenes common sense to think Ford would leave them there if they were a potential problem. Sure they want to save a buck but to ignore a problem with a $2.00 fix only to have to deal...

In strictest terms I think you’re likely right. Technically they may be telling the truth but next up will be a hybrid.

I’d encourage you to be careful here. You‘ll never get anywhere making sense like that.

Nn I would simply refer you to my first point: everything is relative. If I had wanted a Corvette, that’s exactly what I’d have. I didn’t. They look like Transformers/ Ferrari knockoffs to me. My DHs sound a lot better to me and are fast aplenty. And unlike a C8, I can actually get in and out...

I have to respectfully disagree on this. Three absolutes have always existed in the car price vs. perceived value continuum: 1.) Everything is relative 2.) You’re pretty much gonna get what you pay for 3.) Value lies solely in the eyes of the guy who just wrote the check I just bought two...

I have less than 400 miles on mine but I completely agree. The DH HP is unlike any car I’ve ever driven before and I’ve driven a few. It’s scary good.

Now this is interesting, and timely. I in no way mean to dispute your family engineer’s opinion or argue with what seems like pretty solid logic. But less than 15 minutes ago I just had a Ford dealer’s mobile tech at my house removing the [bright orange!] shipping spacers that the PDI “tech”...

I hate decision-making so I just stay in stupid. Works real well!

Thanks! Like my mama used to say, if it had been a snake it woulda bit me.

Huh?

I‘ve always wondered about this. They’ve been there for a while now and given the length of anti-corrosion warranties and attendant costs to repair, it makes no sense that Ford wouldn’t have fixed them if they didn’t want them on the car. Yet armchair engineers abound.
