My friend's two valve Bullitt was a f*ckin hoot off the line despite it being slow as molasses in reality. The benefits of zero refinement, light weight, and a cable throttle lol
I donāt think they mention anything about wheel width/tire width, but more that theyāre complaining about the PZ4ās construction and compound aggression or lack thereof. So look into more aggressive rubber if you want more steering response and sharper overall attributes
Confirms what every...
Average between three runs is:
442whp
387wtq
The power delivery up top is awesome on these things. So flat.
At least one thing's true, you're getting a full-fat nearly-1500rpm's worth of that claimed 500bhp.
With the low and midrange being more or less identical to Gen 3s, it seems like the...
Another comparison, this time from Steeda.
'24 Dark Horse (modified w H-Pipe; only adds ~2hp per Steeda)
408whp
357wtq
'21 GT (modified w Ford Procal 4 Kit - link to kit; claims +19hp/+18lb-ft)
398whp
375wtq
Three things worth mentioning here:
1) A Gen 3 with basic bolt-ons (intake, TB...
Worth noting the dyno graph itself instead of just focusing on peak power and torque.
The gen 4 makes approx. 15-20whp more from 6250-7500rpm, basically where the car will be during acceleration runs, especially so for those with the 10-speed and its short ratios.
The gen 3 has both a torque...
C&D is unabashedly transparent about how they will do anything and everything to get the best performance numbers, including slipping the life out of clutches for optimal launches
Not to shut any hopes down, but C&D will typically post the most ideal-scenario numbers possible
So what we see...
I did miss that
Looks like a wash from a dig. The weight must wipe out any power gains when it comes to getting traction
In-gear acceleration is better based on 5-60 and 50-70, which makes sense too
Taking launch out of the equation, the ā24 is negligibly faster
Count yourself lucky.
Warranties have saved me tens of thousands. Iāve also got a track record of picking out notoriously unreliable cars.
Covered four HPFPs and other misc repairs on my E92. Several gearbox issues, HVAC, halfshafts, etc on my GT, and way more than I can write out for my GT350
Today's drivetrain losses are a total mystery. Best guess is 15%, could be higher or lower, but that puts it at 480bhp which is exactly what Ford quotes.
That doesn't factor in dyno variance, but I wouldn't expect the car to be over or underrated.
To the people talking break in, I doubt this...
Theyād be wise to retain the FE/RWD proportions to a degree. The Charger Daytona EV concept honestly nailed it by maintaining familiarity, introducing modern elements, and utilizing the blank canvas of an EV by adding functional aero where an engine would typically sit.
Hereās realistically...
Tbh my initial comment was a snap-reaction with a bit of beer mixed in, think this article popped up when I was going out
Iām just sour because I was hoping this was going to be a consumer-focused announcement, not a collector-focused limited run
I appreciate the things as much as anyone else...
