GM with the Corvette is starting MY23 in May of '22. I'm sure Ford won't hesitate to do similar should it be expedient. Personally I would shelve the S650 until >Oct '23. Or if it's just another mild makeover "nee MY18" then they can release it for production starting Oct-Dec '22 and frankly...

If the PP1 or Mach1 came with PowerStop Z23/26 grade pads absolutely nobody would complain about it and there would be no dust issue. If they took it to HPDE then yeah they'd gripe but then you'd tell them 'hey, idiot, go buy proper track compound pads - what were you thinking?' these cars are...

Yes after 2 years I swapped my Ferodos out because the dust was just nuts for driving around town. Who gives a damn what pad Ford puts in the assembly line, it's not like any serious person is NOT going to heave-ho them into the trash bin and put their choice of compound in. Factory equipment...

at least you were doing homework and not pron.

that's what I pointed out previously. Ford and Jag have common staff, or when they re-split, someone "kept" the design portfolio of the other. Or they just shamelessly copy each other back and forth.

with the people in charge these days I am afraid power is the least of their concerns. They are in 'suck up to whims of the day" mode. And if you can show 0-5mph EV mode and auto-start/stop it will curry favor with the people screaming the loudest about city pollution and the evil ICE. It's all...

to get them out of a S197, but for current S550 owners? Ich optimistich, nicht. Maybe if the chassis and drive-train is the peer of GM's Alpha(2) platform. eg. Magneride v4 on all trims except 100A, 101A and 300A. GT brakes on every car including all EB trims. If Ford would simply stop putting...

I wish. Here in NoVA it's 4.99+ for 93 and 4.45 at Costco. Where in ol'virginny are you that it's still 4.3?

I guess it's the China Mustang. I mean they ripped off the Mustang signature tri-bar lights at both ends. And the haunch 'crease'

linky no worky

not to mention it sounds like ass. Neither fish nor fowl. The Kooks headers dramatically improve the sound. But after that mod it sounds just like a Yamaha R1 liter bike. My $5000 650cc bike can pace a Mustang GT so short of part-time AWD via hybrid drive-train I don't get excited over car...

since gas-sipping sedans are all of a sudden back in-vogue (ok ok give it a few more weeks), I expect they'll announce they'll be importing the Chinese-market sedans. :) I just hope the same IT team that's responsible for the MY22 mustang build and price isnt' the same set of chuck-wagons...

Yes I would turn my official Musk flame-thrower at that. Oh, not what you meant by the emoji? :) I don't know why people are beholden to the 'slash' in the upper grill. If you resize the grill to something resembling sensible you don't need gratuitous physical artifacts to break up the sea of...

what's disturbing is that the Mustang render like it came off the GM design easel. At least with the GM they broke up the grill and the headlight by only joining it as a narrow corner.

needs body color ~3-4" between headlight and grill. Otherwise the 'mouth' dominates the look. It's supposed to be a supporting cast, not the lead.

a pancake electric motor would solve the darth of low RPM torque on the current V8. Now getting said torque to the actual road is a different problem. It wouldn't need more than 15-20 miles of 'pure' electric range to make it viable and probably earn EV credits. "most desierable" will probably...

I wish the Devil was in a buying mood for a personal conveyance.

so Ford just needs to change the molding and re-wire it so the elements run horizontally. :)

the the GT350 owners will cry even louder at their rapidly evaporating exclusivity.... the cost of the 2 trans is close enough that it could be a $1000 factory option. Probably sabotaged by force-including a grotesquely overpriced "performance" package.

it's against EU regs, isn't it? I could see something cheeky like change the width of the flash with each cycle. Whereas USA is a rapid fire sequence, if the standard flash interval is maintained but the width grows progressivly that *might* comply with the letter of the law if also violating...
