A Mustang should never weight 2 tons. A mustang with all the performance goodies, forced induction, etc. should be around 3600 max. The Gtd could have easily done that or lighter if they actually used a dedicated chassis. They didn’t. It’s a regular mustang. Suspension is mounted in the...

LOL. OK Brie Larsen. it clearly wasn’t built for msny people since: 1. it’s slower than the car it was built to beat. 2. it’s incredibly expensive. 3. it’s slower than a corvette thst costs half as much. 4. there is no Nürburgring in America, so not msny will be making the trip. it failed...

but thrn again, it BECAUSE we don’t have a new platform that the sales are down. if they continue doing the same old stuff, they’re killing it. Definition of insanity and all that. build it right and they will come. Personally I have been itching to buy a new mustang. But none of the models...

Well said. It’s “naturally heavy” bevause ford has been reusing the same old platform forever now. Adding this band-aid and that reinforcement and this extra feature, etc. gets heavier and heavier. Everything from the suspension to the frame to the welds to the bolts to the interior stuffing to...

I think that’s where we are so bummed. Yes, it was “supposed to be” a race car that got modified to be street legal. That was the marketing jive. in reality, we have learned it’s just a regular mustang with gt500 drivetrain and a multimatic suspension bolted on. Oh. And a body kit. Seriously...

The standard is Based on contact patch footprint. The track dimensions will be the same or wider and the overhangs will be smaller as the body is wrapped tighter around the smaller frame. A truck gets more leeway than a car, which makes sense due to the workload differences. Beyond that...

I kinda get the sentiment but let’s be real. it’s no less than what steeda, etc. are doing. Or what Rousch has always done. it’s indicative of Ford’s rehashing old stuff for the s650 generation. the dark horse is really what the GT should be for this gen. the Gtd is just the old gt500 with a...

it was heavy, but we knew they wouldn’t go crazy lightweighting. for a supposed “race car” masquerading as a street car, we expected FAR better. At 325k to start and over 400k with options, turns out it’s just another SC s650 with the suspension from the 2015 Camaro z28 Bolton on. Gets the...

totally agreed. It would be a bit heavier now, but not too much. There are new methods of engineering available. It’s was pretty basic stuff back then. the fox hatchback was decently roomy too.

That’s ridiculously heavy, no matter how much suspension it has ended it. All that expense and they couldn’t lightweight further? A lot of cheap-outs on this crazy expensicar. I’m pretty bummed. Guess they thought they’d charge for the hype rather than what actually went into the car. some...

I don’t doubt it. My point is that I’d take the faster car. A Ferrari isn’t the status symbol it used to be. the rest was obviously tongue in cheek. If we can’t have a little fun here then something’s off. everyone just needs to grab a pop tart and chill. Lol But seriously if anyone hee is...

because IT IS about the drivers according to your post about which car YOU the driver, would rather show up to a ritz Carlton in. you made it about the drivers according by talking about thst. Then mentioning “the drivers” would turn up their nose, etc. Just keeping it real bruh. I don’t want...

not gonna knock it. To each their own. I do think the generations we grow up in greatly affect what we find attractive, compelling, etc.

LOL Driving a Ferrari hardly makes one “dignified.” I see literally around 20-30 Ferrari/lambo/porsche/astin/maserati, etc. per day where I live. Most of the people driving I wouldn’t trust to housesit for me. maybe from your generation “dignified” folks driver these cars. In my generation...

I see “cool old car.” most young people will too. the Ford GT looks leagues better too. Even the new and old Ford GT looks leagues better. I think there’s something to. Car being grrat FOR ITS TIME. there’s no denying that was a fantastic appeal to aesthetics in its day. But today it looks...

honestly I’m no fan of that particular Ferrari. Out of the two, the corvette looks like the more modern, better looking car. The Ferrari does look more exotic in a “it looks unusual/weird sense, but not in an attractive way such as other Ferraris, lambo, etc. so it depends on WHICH Ferrari or...

I hear what you’re saying. But it’s still embarassing to get your butt horrendously kicked by “just a corvette.” it may not have the cachet of some Ferrari’s lambo’s etc. but when it smacks them around in front of their girlfriends, there’s no getting around the hit to the ego. It’s like God’s...

“On this course, the ZR1 saw its highest lateral g, which according to the Chevrolet’s footage peaked at 2.6.” https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/exclusive-interview-corvette-zr1-development-drivers-dish-on-their-five-u-s-lap-records/

people are putting way too much stock (hope/copium) into thinking the zr1 is just a forced induction z06.

2.6 lateral G. Whaaaat?!?
