They claim they're gonna invest a lot more into the mustang brand, so it would be kinda crazy for them not to do a new platform. I'd actually prefer a longer wheelbase lol. Not only would it look better, longer wheelbase tend to make cars more stable at high speeds and less prone to snapping. It...

I don't hate it. I'm always excited when car brands try out new things even if they flip. I'd rather have that than companies doing the exact same things forever with no creativity. Everything we love and enjoy in life exists because someone took a different and unique approach. I welcome the...

I see where you're coming from, but that day is coming friend. The mustang will get a new platform, I mean, from what I've heard, it basically has to if Ford wants to offer a hybrid and sedan variants. I've been told the current platform isn't flexible enough to accommodate those changes. Ford's...

You seem to be more of a Corvette fan than a mustang fan. You're working really hard to praise the corvettes while attacking things like the GTD.

Fucking exactly!! New cars are a dream of performance, safety, longevity, liveability. They're actually a great value for the money. Compared to the 80s where almost every car in the road looked like shit, including the fox body, and struggled to make any sort of power. That's right, I don't...

I can't believe people who claim to be car enthusiasts, I'm starting to doubt this, are attacking this car. You and I see how ridiculous this is. This car just did what no other American car in history has done one a first lap attempt in flawed conditions, and people are bitching that it's not...

Fastest American car in sub optimal conditions while the driver said he wasn't even driving all out.

Well they said sub optimal conditions. I believe the track was wet, and this was done in August when it was very hot. Not to mention if they set this lap in August, they've definitely been testing and tweaking, I assume for the better, in the months since. So the car that was gonna run in...

I think it will get under 7 mins. But do I think it'll beat the GTD, especially the true lap time the GTD can throw down with optimal conditions? I highly doubt it. It seems like the zr1 is gonna be fast, but might struggle to put it's power down and won't have the handling finesse of the mustang.

Not only will the track be better when they return, but the car as well. Didn't even think about this, but someone else made a solid point. This 6:57 was laid down in August, back when the car was still doing a lot of its testing and development around a track, and the team was making...

Literally ever condition that could have worked against them did, and they still set a record. My guess is that know they can go a lot faster, but they wanted to get this time out there and set the record for first sub 7 American car. The driver even said he wasn't pushing the car close to his...

Dude, it beat million dollar cars in the wet.

6:57 on a wet track is what they set. So 6:40s in ideal conditions most likely.

Yeah, it feels like now, or in the near future is the best time to buy a gt. These prices are actually pretty solid.

So I want to be VERY clear about this. But the official Ford mustang social media account, I believe on Instagram, hearted a particular comment. What did the comment say? That the GTD better get a lap time of 6:40 or faster. Speed phenom recently discussed this. Why would an official Ford...

I remember when the GTD first came out, and I was kinda taken aback, first by the price, but secondly, because it was falsely being reported at the time that the GTD was the GT 500 successor. We know now that isn't the case. This thing is now one of my life long dream cars, this and a newer Ford...

There was an interview from the head of Multimatic some time ago where he hunted they'd at least get close to the time set by the GT3.

It's rough man. The side looks ok, the rear has grown on me very slightly, but the front end is just terrible imo.

You can have more power than God, but if you're trying to put it to the ground using ice skates, you aren't gonna get very far. The GTD has really good tires, but even the best tires have limits as to how much power they can put down, especially if you're running two wheel drive. Be cautious...

But what is the point of the GTD running around with 1,000 hp if a RWD car is gonna struggle to put that much power down compromising on the very track performance the GTD was developed to have in the first place? If it was mid-engine with a weight bias over the drive wheels, it might do ok, but...
