Electronic throttle maps have made high up cars extremely manageable. If these things still had cable throttles they’d be SOBs to manage around town, but instead they can choose to dampen your inputs and require more overall throttle pedal actuation for a respective amount of actual throttle...
They'll likely weight the same
The ZR1's quoted 3600-3700 dry, so call it 3900-4000 curb.
The GTD's been quoted to be in the range of the GT500, ie 4100-4200. Holt says they're targeting to drop another 75kg/150-160lbs, but that still puts it in the 3900-4000lb range. I'm sure it would be a...
I'll be the ICE Scrooge here to rant about EV nameplate revitalization. There's a fundamental set of flaws with EVs that will likely point to a bastardized version of the Camaro, or any legacy nameplate getting an electric makeover, assuming the plan is to roll something out in the near set of...
Yeah… the proportions are genuinely nice, but the black hides all of the details, ie the BMW-ness. It’s like dating a bombshell butterface and having her rock sweats and a paper bag.
I’m so confused, aren’t all of the claimed features included in this “performance package” already standard inclusions?
Magnesium wheels, DRS, a fat splitter with dive planes, etc.
They should’ve lathered this thing in high quality leather and Alcantara… on every single surface. Surely the margins on a $300k+ unit could afford as much?
Side note, the paddles look like something out of Batman’s toolbelt.
It's one of those things that really isn't all that noticeable, but I want it just to have it.
95% of the time I'm leaving any car with active dampers in their softest settings.
It's not a bad thing! Steering accuracy has always been a weak point for Mustangs, so having that for a change is nice. And I only use the word generic in the sense that so many cars fit the bill I gave for the EB's description (current Hondas, Fords, VW/Audis, BMWs, etc). One-handed cruising on...
I had a 15 GT PP and a a 20 GT350, also rented a new base EB S650 for just shy of a week not long ago. If I had to summarize the characteristics:
15 GT PP
- pros: very few; since feedback was nonexistent, it was laidback to operate at city speeds
- cons: the weighting felt super gummy and...
I think it was an informal Q&A with someone from Multimatic. He was explaining that the GTD shares much more in common with a production S650 and very little with the GT3 variant.
Think it was posted here. Can't find on YouTube.
