this is delirious. Of course the Gtd has a great suspension from multi magic. But the interior, some of the body snd the drivetrain is straight factory mustang. You can option the engine with blower at some dealers with warranty and the transmission is from the gt500. pretending a 300+++k hyper...

the vette has never been a mustang competitor. But a Gtd? Def. A vette competitor. And more expensive to boot.

The c8 is a truly outanding platform. Heck, even the base c8 trounced the gt500, for less money. The zr1 is going to take lambo and Ferrari and Porsche to the cleaners. I’ve never been a GM or vette fan in my life, but I always call it objectively. while dodge has turned power into flowers...

The CURRENT Mustang is a standalone platform - because it’s so OLD! it started as the D2C. And here it is, saving Ford loads of cash decades later. It’s not more expensive. It’s CHEAPER. ford made the stupid decision to stop selling cars outright and is now regretting it. People want cars...

well said. How anyone would think a make and model are interchangeable is beyond reason. I can see the origami dmv paperwork now…

I didnt think Ford has had a clean, uninterrupted run yet from a-x. Thought they may be waiting on a handful of scheduled runs to complete. My thinking was if it ends up being great, they’ll crow about it from pillar to post. If it underwhelms, they’ll probably do a press release. but… the...

‘LOL. No worries. I’ve done that without a valid reason.

the EV rationale is a lie. the environmental impact of EV production and end of life are horrid. and that’s before you get into the lack of infrastructure. I think EVs have a place. But not at mass scale and certainly not at all as a replacement for ICE. Time to roll back the craziness and...

almost TWO thousand pounds heavier. holy heck. that’s just plain disgusting.

which track do you frequent?

not too many of those running around. for a reason. it's a last hurrah for them. will only sell for one model year and only 3300 of them. If Ford could hit that with their current displacement and a supercharger, they would. heack, even the gtd isn't going for broke with the eninge. But it's not...

because that’s all they have developed. No real investment on the 8. Just the same thing since 2003. ford invested in turbocharging lesser ngines to get them viable for better performance and efficiency. Turbo was the answer. the 8 was already powerful and they could do a lot with existing...

like I said, that’s nonsense. In fact, the new coyote is more ready for TT than ever. Ford perfected the supercharged v8 long ago and kept it old school because that’s what people wanted. But the market has modernized and doesn’t want to be limited anymore - especially when ford has lesser...

it’s not that ford shared. It’s that GM reverse engineered Fords FPC solution for large displacement engines. You know better than that. It was thought anything of that size couldn’t be done with FPC. Ford figured it out. You bet your last biscuit GM studied that solution very well. And heck no...

laughable. The Europeans have been doing it for a while and ford does it with other engines. Turbo diesels have been doing this a. Long time. Done right, turbos will actually cause the engine to last longer since they cause less drag on the engine. Turbos are very economical as well. There’s a...

to find a point of agreement, yes, twin turbo is best. No two ways about it. I’ve been advocating for FORD to TT the v8 for a while now.

Same story, different day. Whipper Is the king of supercharging. that’s a huge power difference, far beyond any margin of error for exhaust mods. whipple has, over the years, gotten as efficient as possible for roots type/twin screw supercharging. They’ve made them for everyone and in spite of...

no thanks. A nice modern SVO would be great (minus the extra doors it would be saddled with. That should really be a different nameplate if they go with it. though it would be bested by a GT with dealer installed blower) followed by the same treatment given to the next Boss or Cobra v8 with...

I do t think the power difference throws off handling at all. extra weight does. It’s a little nose-heavy right now. Almost 50/50 distribution, but not quite. Moving to turbo would have significantly decreased weight on the nose. - having an effect of even better handling. and there doesn’t...

nothing but love bro. We all want ford to put serious effort into making the v8 every bit the next gen monster, but much more efficient as well. Hybrid is highly likely. A twin turbo v8 electric hybrid would be insane. Was hoping the Gtd would go that route, but we’ll see what the next couple...
