.....facepalm. Sorry, either you have no idea with respect to motors, or you are trolling. I will assume the former
Rev limiters prevent destruction of the various things involved.
Reciprocating engines (aka, piston type engines) take linear motion, and translate it into rotational motion...
I get it that the Mustang is VERY expensive right now. There are a lot of reasons for that, but I really hope that this new vehicle...No matter if it's called Falcon, XR8, or Mach 4...comes to fruition.
I doubt it will be in place for the 2026 model year. Just not enough time and no mules...
Well, apparently, someone has already done the "cannonball" with an EV and it stands at 42h 17m according to Wiki. This is not far off the 41-43 hour estimated time that google maps shows. (Red Ball Garage Manhattan NY, to Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach CA...
Anyway, The DH is a great car...
Agree, but not because of the DH. Honestly, if I was buying an EV, dodge might be my choice, except the range is so dang short compared to other EVs. Even the Lucid Air Touring (not GT) has more range. That said, compared to the BMW i5M60, the range is similar with similar performance and...
The place I live actually is fairly mild weather wise. Due to the proximity to the coast, we actually are in the same hardiness zone as Atlanta, GA, despite being much further north.
I'm originally from near Chicago and it really doesn't get cold (as I define it) here. We only get the...
Most people don't really get above 100 MPH, even on the Chicago expressways, unless they are itching to get pulled over. Even here, I doubt many have actually exceeded 100 MPH outside of a track or other controlled environment. That said, I know people do. A VERY long time ago(25+ years), I...
Let's go with the Falcon concept for a name. Based on the Mustang platform, what would need to happen, where could savings be made, what needs to happen to prevent costs from increasing beyond what people would pay?
Mustang is 107" wheelbase according to the Google, the Falcon was 110-121...
While I would love to see the concept, I don't expect to see the widebody flares.
One question I would ask is should they use the mustang style tail lights or would something different be better? If they used the Mustang tail light as part of a parts sharing, would that change the trunk...
And maybe that’s why. I am sure many have seen the memes about mustangs doing what mustangs do, with seeing a mustang spinning out, rear tires smoking as some idiot pulls out of a street at full throttle, crashing their car and wrecking it…by setting it up for understeer, maybe they are hoping...
Sorry, I did not intend any "tone of superiority" and if any was felt, then I apologize.
I didn't take your comment as anything but humor, I was responding with my own dark humor and it looks like I failed. Not my kid, not my problem. I was obviously concerned, but I am not going to be...
My car history - 72 thunderbird, 81 LeSabre (with the olds diesel), 85 Toyota Cressida (only 6 cylinder), 97 Thunderbird with the 4.6, Lexus GS430, BMW 550...only one had a 6, every other one was with a heavy V8 engine sitting in front. Here is the thing, you can create a balanced car with no...
Does any underage drinker do that? Just glad no one died or ended up in the hospital from guzzling 120+ proof hooch.
That said, let's get back to the mustang
Other than fix the uncertainty that's been popping up recently, what else could Ford do to improve Mustang sales.
Does a BMW price tag...
Sorry, something about Lagavulin just sets me off. I can understand why some people like it, but to me it tastes more like medicine. Maybe I had a bad bottle?
I've been lucky enough to have had a glass of Macallan 18 which was very good (never had the 25), but I once stumbled across 2 bottles...
it wasn’t the wheel’s response that was the issue. You turned the steering wheel, the front wheels turned, and it continued to move forward for a bit until the tires and suspension bit in and started turning the car itself..until then, it was just snowplowing a bit. Not much, just a few feet...
At 6’2”, the list of vehicles I don’t fit in is longer than the list of those I do. Thanks to the prevalence of sunroofs, most vehicles with them do not accommodate me…even my beloved F350 has This problem because if I don’t slouch in my seat (properly adjusted of course), my head wants to go...
