You’re not wrong. EV powertrains are removing individuality. Dashboards are being reduced to serving trays for tablets. Designs are reduced to the same smooth egg. All of the individuality is generated in gimmicks, but the substance is the same
That said, if there’s one OEM doing EVs right...
Drone isn’t canceled out by a midpipe. The double X is a cool marketing gimmick, but there’s nothing to it that would explain why it cancels drone. It’s cancelled by the mufflers, even says so somewhere on their website I’m sure
The GT350 without a resonator is basically a GT350R’s stock setup...
OH. It's also worth noting that the stringency of emissions regulations are based on the size of the vehicle. So full-sized trucks are given far more lenient targets than, say, a subcompact sedan. Kind of a big brain move by Ford if you think about the fact that the only CAR they sell is the...
Assuming regulations don't evolve (which they always do), I can't imagine seeing any form of ICE Mustang in 12 years' time. California (*cough* Commiefornia *cough*) marched forward with its Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) mandate targeting 100% of new vehicle sales to be ZEV by 2035. In layman's...

Getting the right mufflers, like Corsa’s which are basically Helmholtz resonators, counteracts the awful drone that typically comes with the suitcase delete
It’s the iPhone 14 to the Mach 1’s iPhone 13
Basically the same product, refined, a little pricier. If you weren’t in the market for an M1 timing wise then the DH will serve you analogously
Here’s a cutaway from what I would assume is the same carryover resonator in an S550 GT. Looks like a standard straight through muffler with perforations. I see fiber glass so idk if it’s packed with it and they just removed it, but in theory this would be like a giant glass pack if that’s...
If you’re okay with “years” as you alluded to, contact the guy on here Zach with Granger Ford
Supposedly selling DHs at MSRP but the list is longer than the southern border
All a matter of perspective. They didn’t make any extensive leaps and bounds here but they certainly didn’t take away the magic.
Motor Trend article was surprisingly insightful.
Think there’s a typo/misinformation-direct on the brake by wire claims. It’s still a physically connected system...
Ignoring tons of other factors, torque is largely correlated with overall displacement, power comes from torque x RPM. The Coyote achieves high power numbers relative to its displacement because it’s high revving, hence the disparity

That’s also why...
