  1. Sacrifices....

    Best part about being single is that I can be a turbo nerd at events like this 🄰
  2. Would You Consider a Smaller Foxbody Inspired Mustang?

    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 don’t have mega-tons of sound insulation; to stop worrying about magazine benchmark numbers so everything doesn’t...
  3. Would You Consider a Smaller Foxbody Inspired Mustang?

    I’d 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...
  4. Would You Consider a Smaller Foxbody Inspired Mustang?

    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 everything’s smaller: wheels, tires, brakes, all of the running gear, transmission, etc...
  5. Would You Consider a Smaller Foxbody Inspired Mustang?

    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...
  6. The Dark Horse's Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo RS tires look to be the first of their kind

    True that, and most of those bespoke compounds take years of collab
  7. Would You Consider a Smaller Foxbody Inspired Mustang?

    If there was ever a time this would’ve been logistically viable, it would’ve been 5-10 years ago. :(
  8. The Dark Horse's Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo RS tires look to be the first of their kind

    Oh I get it, you’re not a fan of the base level sizes. Yeah that’s valid. I’m assuming they want these to be accessible dailies for all climates
  9. The Dark Horse's Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo RS tires look to be the first of their kind

    Yessir, that’s 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. One’s tried and true while the other’s relatively new. The fact that the other guy pointed that...
  10. What's your favourite S650 photo so far?

    I can tell you from experience, they’re 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 won’t be blown away but you won’t...
  11. What's your favourite S650 photo so far?

    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 S550’s build quality was equal to Frankenstein’s resurrection being finished on a Friday at 4:00pm. Hood seams, fender seams, trunk, rear bumper seams, window panels, you...
  12. The Dark Horse's Pirelli P-Zero Trofeo RS tires look to be the first of their kind

    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...
  13. S650 GT Convertible | Miami International Auto Show (pics + vids)

    As long as they offer the option for a bespoke set of wider wheels and tires for performance trims or packages I’m all for it lol But imagine if every GT came with those standard šŸ˜‚ goodbye Mustang GTs at every local rental company
  14. What Color Will Your S650 Be?

    I see you are still a man of good taste Tony

    If they could mimic the systems in AMGs and Ms that can de-couple the front axle then sign me up šŸ˜Ž
  16. Official VAPOR BLUE Mustang S650 Thread

    It’s 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
  17. S650 GT Convertible | Miami International Auto Show (pics + vids)

    I’m 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...

    You own stock in Pirelli or Michelin or somethin’?
  19. Hood vent is definitely from Chevy

    Does GM own a patent on what’s essentially the most generic heat extractor design, like what lol
