ok. But we are talking about how to SAVE THE MUSTANG. if Ford truly is determined to drive it to an early grave via even more stupid decisions, then sad, but so be it.
In spite of the ignorance in this post, the most important takeaway here is that no mustang fan would be in such a state of joy over such things. Once again you put yourself guy. Good job.
If the car came wity the engine from tje factory, it would actually be cheaper. They wouldnāt have to package, market, etc.
But a little over dark horse money for 1000+ hp? I donāt think many would say no to thst. The suspension and brakes would need to be addressed. So letās start the dark...
itās the tech behind it.
a twin turbo 5.2 would make more power at less displacement than the zr1 engine. Even though the zr1 is wrung out with a flat plane crank. But ford is stuck supercharging for cheapo reasons.
GM is developing a new line of v8s. Wil be interesting to see how those shake...
yeah yeah. We get it.
And while itās true that we still have the mustang, we donāt want to be lulled to sleep, watching our favorite car die a slow and painful death by investment starvation and then hear ford from on about there is no market. Of course tje market dries up for an āenthusiast...
no.
if Chevy can build a 1000+ horsepower, 800+ torque zr1 that pushes the boundaries of what an American sports car can be, Ford can certainly do the same. Actually they can do BETTER. Ford has the better engine tech. They are absolute experts in the turbo arena. Literally all it takes is...
thst was my point.
Ford has the killer firepower. But it gets all soaked up and sandbagged by a sloppy, heavy, outdated platform.
it needs a tight light new platform to excel.
It was embarassing watching the gt500 barely beat the zl1 1le. Should have stomped.
the regular Camaro SS was able to...
Not feeling the RTR vent at all. Looks kind of kluge. Like the factory vent got fat.
The Shelby vent looks pretty sharp and sweet.
itās interesting. I thought Shelby was stuck in the past a while back. But all their new stuff looks better and more modern than the newer aftermarket guys like...
been sharing this for a while. The s550 and 650 are really old school platforms thst nrver reinvented anything to comply with regulations or performance demands.
the suspension, glass, frame, body panels, exhaust, interior filler materials etc. are all much heavier then need be. The current...
Id argue Ford ruined the party by taking the foot off the gas and instead of continuing with the Shelby GT350, they took their foot off the gas, gave us a Mach 1 (at the same gt350 price) that had none of the 350 charm (though was a good Mustang) and followed up with the Dark Horse (at 10,000...
Actually, I think you're onto soemthing there. the name would be unassuming and poeple wouldn't expect something beyond. But I put myself in Shelby's shoes and I would probably have stuck with the nameplate I owned that has rich hertiage and is just sitting on the sidelines.
The longtime...
