Can you imagine them dumping money into a brand new architecture when weāre seeing 100hp/L out of the current unit while meeting emissions standards?
Wouldnāt make sense especially when we already have like six or seven large OEMs (including the entire VAG umbrella) proclaiming that theyāve...
Except itās not an artificial decrease. They did it to meet more stringent emissions targets, which makes it even better to see that they improved the efficiency of their motors to make what improvements ARE here under the same stringent requirements
100hp/L in a 5L V8 is pretty dang good all...
Damn thatās an insane price tag, but those are essentially all of the options minus the Fighter Jet Gray/M1 Appearance Package.
I built out something more or less identical, minus the red calipers, nav upgrade (what does it even offer, like a Sirius trial extension), and made it a manual.
$67k...
Time will tell, but itās really a matter of wanting a loaded GT+ model versus a stripper halo Shelby model
And then on the topic of used versus new, itās about warranties and ānew car factorā personal values versus finding a clean example with hopefully a good ownership history
āSome people donāt like to hear thisā
No, itās just eye roll inducing lol. Like when someone brings up a used car in a conversation about new cars for X dollars
Anyone here that can afford DH prices will no doubt be able to buy a Mach 1
But guess what, not everyone wants a Mach 1
Why are yāall comparing a $74-95k GT500 to a car thatās clearly closer in relation to a GT350/M1 and will likely carry a similar price
Of course Iād prefer the more expensive, top-range model especially if I miraculously found it for less lol tf
granted, that 670hp sits behind a $110k starting price tag on a low-volume bespoke unit... i don't think anyone here understands the logistics behind mass-producing a N/A V8 under today's tier-3 regulations. the way it impacts fleet averages. the ability to sell it in select EU markets. i...
The dimensions and running gear are more or less identical, so unless they stuffed the thing with additional airbags and/or changed the material usage in the chassis to a large degreeāwhich we wouldāve probably heard about if for the betterāthen weight should be near identical
Identical...
tbh could you imagine reading that 10 years ago
maybe weāre spoiled?
letās face it, outright straight line speed pissing matches have become all but null and void when Suzy in her performance EV CUV can beat the brakes off of most pony and muscle cars
a glass-half-full approach could be āyou...
