Are you... are you seriously comparing the performance of a modified racing prototype to a street legal road car? While we're comparing lap times, a sub 7 minutes is an insane time relative to the 18 minute lap time I'd put down behind the wheel of a bus.
I don't know what enthusiasts want. If the interior was more upscale and luxurious, people would say it didn't fit the supercar theme. If it was a stripped out racecar, people would be saying it was too basic for a car in this price range.
Damn. Damaging a prototype always sucks. Different story, but I remember one of the jalopnik guys crashing a 6th gen Camaro prototype at a track, at a GM event. I could feel the embarrassment and anxiety through my screen.
I'm gonna have to disagree. Relevant comparisons of average reliability indicate cars in the 90s and early 2000s were having way more issues than modern cars. A comparison of JD powers average issues per 100 cars scorecard shows the most reliable brand from the early 2000s, Toyota, would be one...
There's a quote from regular car reviews that hit me quite hard, he said "You can't wait for life to be perfect before you enjoy it".
There isn't a mass produced car, hell, there isn't a mass produced product on earth that doesn't have people reporting issues. I own a maverick, there are...
I'm gonna say it, all the best brands recall. Ford recalled our explorer because the clips on the roof rack near the back could pop up, yes, really. I also remember them recalling the ecosport to change a page in the owners manual.
Meanwhile, Hyundai and Kia engines have insane failure rates...
Gonna have to disagree with you there. It's nearly impossible to know the religious views of someone you're doing business with, as that's not exactly something that comes up in casual conversations for most people.
But I live in the most religious state by far, Utah, and you have people...
I mean, for a practice shake down lap, it didn't look that slow. Generally how these things go, you take the car out, run a bunch of practice laps to tweak and improve the car, and then you do your flat out run.
The last thing you'd want is having your test drivers driving flat out for the...
That's still not bad. I know many of us want the mustang GT to weigh 3,500 lbs, Farley talked about how he wants to make the mustang lighter as well, but without exotic materials like carbon fiber, there's only so much you could do. I'd be curious to see how much weight is saved ditching the...
I'm curious, do you still own your 2011 explorer? We have a 2017 explorer with the duratec 3.5. it's been insanely reliable over the last nearly 9 years. But I'd be curious to see how even older versions of the same generation are holding up.
I've heard the water pumps can be a bit iffy. But...
Yeah, the first year thing doesn't apply as much these days. I own a maverick hybrid first year, and it's been virtually flawless. That thing is on most reliable affordable car lists.
I expect similar results for the mustang. Ford's taking the Toyota approach now. They invested in a complex...
As Farley and others have discussed the idea of further mustang body styles, I want to discuss what you guys would like to see with additional models. Personally, here's what I would want;
S750 coupe - Keep the V8, drop the weight slightly, make it look even more like a chunky muscle car. I'd...
Then it won't be greenlit. The only way we get cool enthusiast cars moving forward is if they're part of the mustang sub brand. We were never gonna get a new focus RS, but Ford gave us an electric AWD hatchback with 700 lb ft of torque, and called it the mach-e. We're never gonna get a new crown...
Probably not, but we know Goodwood is a hotspot for enthusiasts car reveals, Ford likes to show up, and this is a historically significant year for the mustang being the 60th anniversary. It would be neat if Ford revealed something.
