Tell people to stop wanting airbags in their seatbelt buckles and cupholders; their 10+ speaker sound systems; their active safety equipment; to lower their NVH expectations so we donāt have mega-tons of sound insulation; to stop worrying about magazine benchmark numbers so everything doesnāt...
Iād love to see them go ham on the use of aluminum for their other models too, but I think the reality is that the magnitude of sales are in different solar systems, so the investment for an aluminum-intensive F-150 can be amortized far greater than on something like a Mustang, let alone a...
Would be a dream! Would maybe be possible to crack 3000lbs if the pricing was up there with that kind of power.
Big part of why the 86 and Miata are so light is because they produce so little power, so everythingās smaller: wheels, tires, brakes, all of the running gear, transmission, etc...
I think the issue would come down to long term sales volume sustainability and how the inclusion of another gas-powered vehicle would affect fleet emission averages versus CAFE targets, mainly with the fact that any new model introduced now would likely be in production for 6-10 years to recoup...
Yessir, thatās kind of what I implied by saying it adopts the same series as the Mach 1 (255/275 standard, 305/315 HP upgrade).
Bigger question is how the Trofeo RS compound stacks up to the Cup 2. Oneās tried and true while the otherās relatively new. The fact that the other guy pointed that...
I can tell you from experience, theyāre maybe a tick better in terms of peak material quality but the main improvement is the consistency of material use across the board
Like the good materials in the primary touch areas look more or less the same (ie you wonāt be blown away but you wonāt...
If this is the extent of fitment issues on the S650 (and a year-early pre-production model no less) then hal-le-lu-jah!
The S550ās build quality was equal to Frankensteinās resurrection being finished on a Friday at 4:00pm. Hood seams, fender seams, trunk, rear bumper seams, window panels, you...
Had to look it up: the Mach 1 rides on standard 255F/275R tires (PS4Ss?), and the handling package upgrades them to 305F/315R Cup 2s.
The Dark Horse adopts the same sizes standard (but on PZ4s), and with the optional handling package runs an identical series but with Trofeo RSs.
The GT350 has...
As long as they offer the option for a bespoke set of wider wheels and tires for performance trims or packages Iām all for it lol
But imagine if every GT came with those standard š goodbye Mustang GTs at every local rental company
Itās probably one of those paint jobs that depends on lighting and cleanliness to pop
Guard Green looked like dog water if it had a coat of dust on it and/or was shot in overcast weather, but would look like DHG 2.0 if it was clean and shot under a blue sky
Iām just playing around my dude
But in reality 305s on a volume level would drive up replacement costs like crazy for your average owner and would likely eliminate a bunch of alternative choices in the A/S category for people living up north
It would make more sense to make a more aggressive...
