  1. ZR1X runs 8's in the 1/4 mile

    What halo car? It's believed that reveal is the GT 500 thing that was leaked earlier. I want to believe a gt or something else is coming, but it's looking less likely.
  2. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    That thought occurred to me as well. I'll have to see it in person, but I fear this front end wouldn't work as well on a gt or Ecoboost.
  3. Dark Horse vs 'Hurricane' Charger vs Hellcat - ThrottleHouse

    Ford is running into the same issue gm did with the c7, and that's the fact that you can only make a front engine, RWD car so powerful before it becomes undrivable. If Ford wants to keep improving performance, they can go mid-engine like c8, or AWD with the current front engine layout. The s650...
  4. Dark Horse vs 'Hurricane' Charger vs Hellcat - ThrottleHouse

    You're having too narrow of a view on hybrids. There are fuel efficiency hybrids, like my maverick, which aren't insanely fast, but get 50 mpg. Then there are performance hybrids, like the holy trinity. We seem to have our wires crossed because you seem to think I'm saying turn the mustang...
  5. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    It's already starting to grow on me. It's bold, and aggressive, and every time you get a design that's bold and aggressive, people hate it at first. But I like it, it looks mean, and it doesn't just look like the s550 gt 500 v2. imo. I love how Ford's differentiating all the s650 variants...
  6. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    I really like the ducktail lip. The s650 rear end already has vibes from the '67 with the angles in concaved decklid, but this spoiler really drives that home even more with how it echos the rear end of the '67 spoiler. It looks identical to the ducktail that Shelby America offers though, so...
  7. Dark Horse vs 'Hurricane' Charger vs Hellcat - ThrottleHouse

    Dodge/Jeep/Ram seem to struggle with styling, especially retro styling. The wrangler, and the previous gen challenger are hideous imo. This new charger is probably the best looking dodge muscle car I've seen, but still not great from some angles. Basically the only truly great looking car...
  8. Dark Horse vs 'Hurricane' Charger vs Hellcat - ThrottleHouse

    Agreed, especially if they can find a way to do it without making it insanely heavy or expensive. My daily is a maverick hybrid. If Ford can make a 4 door hybrid truck made out of steel weigh only about 3700 lbs, they can make a mustang hybrid light if they really want to. Maybe with a next gen...
  9. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    Stangmode is now claiming we'll get a mid-engine mustang 🤯 Edit: He pretending like he had an insider source telling him this but then did the whole "This is just me speculating" so nevermind.
  10. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    It's so unlikely to happen, but we as enthusiasts would be eating good if that happened, I'd be so happy. Ford has done events like that before, like Detroit 2015 where they revealed the gt, 2nd Gen raptor, and gt 350r all in the span of like 10 mins, it was awesome. I'd go nuts if they did...
  11. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    Something like a new gt would be a "Holy shit" scenario, and it's not entirely implausible. It was at this event last year that Ford revealed they were gonna be returning to the top class of hypercar racing to race for the overall win at Le Mans. It would make a lot of sense to do a hybrid road...
  12. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    Just a thought, but I've ponder for some time how it would make a lot of sense for Ford to make a halo model using the same platform as the mustang. Something that Ford could charge a premium for, that would encourage them to invest in the mustang platform. Said halo product could generate...
  13. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    Just imagine a hybrid predator setup making over 1,000 hp and designed to be the ultimate drag car.
  14. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    Stangmode, yeah he could be onto something, but his track record isn't great. This event and the Detroit auto show are happening at the same time, I could almost see those being revealed in Detroit, and something like this off-road supercar being revealed at this stand-alone event. I'm gonna be...
  15. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what it ends up being. The references to Dakhar make the t1 thing seem more credible, but their CEO also keeps calling it a supercar and has vaguely hinted at the success of the off-road 911 and hurucan. It could really go either way, but I really hope it's...
  16. Ford to reveal all-new road-going race car on January 15... GT500 successor?!

    I think this is it. This guy said in an interview when asked about Ford's off-road supercar and if they were worried about the two completing for sales that the Ford version would be lower priced and higher volume, almost like he already knew what the Ford off-road supercar was gonna be. That...
  17. Mr Jim Farley - Hear Me Out...

    He's mentioned on multiple occasions that he wants to do a sedan as an affordable EV, but one that's sporty, performance oriented, and RWD instead of being a generic blob. This would utilize the same affordable EV platform as the 30k EV maverick sized truck that's coming out. I'd call it...
  18. Top Gear - Corvette ZR1 vs Ford Mustang GTD: Against The Clock on Track!

    With the mustang trying to go toe to toe with the Corvette now, I don't believe making the next gen mustang mid-engine is the right move. But I would love to see a platform that's front-mid like the c7 was, something that's inherently more balanced, without losing the classic mustang look. It...
