Ford offers the Handling pack to people that want to track the car, i think the assumption from factory is that you will have a dedicated set of street wheels for all other occasions so they can justify slapping track tires on to start
eh, thats how it goes at Le Mans, whats fast early on wont necessarily be around at the end, hell the 83 Ferrari led for a good portion of the race and had it in the bag until the hybrid system failed and they had to retire the car
just took her for a test drive,. tbh while its obviously way louder than stock under acceleration, the drones barely noticeable over the regular road noise
couple more interesting tid-bits: Ford is the only manufacturer with 2 cars in the top 5, and the only manufacturer in the top 5 to not have a hypercar (top class prototypes) in the race.
getting everyones hopes up with that one lol, Protons running P3 and P4 with almost 3 minutes to P2 and p5 20 seconds behind them, barring any catastrophic failures, thats how theyll finish
ah yes, lets compare a 300K car to a 1.9 and 3.7 MILLION DOLLAR CAR
also what second hand Lamborghini are you buying, even the bare base model Aventador was over 400k
see its stuff like this that tells me people have expectations out of proportions, for instance heres Lamborghinis $500,000 Aventador interior
youll notice a few things here
-the dash isnt carbon fibre, its leather wrapped
-alcantara is reserved for the seats
-the seats are not carbon racing...
no because of a rules technicality, LMGT3 cars in the WEC cannot be run by factory teams, which disqualifies Ford Multimatic as they make the car. instead Proton are running 3 cars. its a weird system that makes 0 sense but FIAs gonna FIA
Nah, the GTD is too fast, it's the same coyote block for the GT3 and GTD engines, the GT3 is limited to between 500 and 600 hp vs the GTDs 800+. The GT3 is lighter however the GTD has active aero components including DRS vs the GT3s static aero. G56 was slow because at its core it's still a...
Grand touring based production car vs LMP1 prototype that was purpose built as a send off to the race car, breaking every regulation the FIA had, costing a few million to develop and never had a hope of seeing public road use.
At least try and compare it to the AMG1s 6:30, sure that's also a...
A sub 7 minute would make the GTD the fastest American production car to have lapped the Nordschleife and the only American production car to have done it under 7 minutes with the next closest being the 2017 Viper ACR GTS-R at 7:01.3
Not bad.
I unfortunately don't have the time to install until later this month but here's some photos from the 5" kit, comes in two packages for the pipes and the plastic.
Packaging wise it was shipped pretty packed tight with bubblewrap covered by expansion foam covered by paper packing in a firm...
yes and no, itll be for steering feel and throttle response, suspension will be "passive" and obviously no PP means no AVE so exhaust wont change either. As far as necessity goes? its a nice to have not a need to have, it 100% improves the ride vs the passive system, but by no means is it needed...
