again, zero to do with my post.
I mention it looked like a Datsun - and it does. I mentioned it looks like a vw and it does.
if you read my post, youâd see that I not only viewed the concept, but also went to fords media site to see the final result, which is where I grounded my view that the...
um⊠I donât see what that has todo with my post? Never said it resembled a Mustang. It clearly does not.
and it looks more like a vw than Mach e. On honeycomb cereal wheels no less.
looks too much like a 1979 Datsun 510.
the actual Capri doesnât look too much better and resembles a Volkswagen riding on wheels inspired by HoneyComb cereal.
like I said, same driver, same track, same hour.
More weight and more wiggle doesnât equate to greater performance.
you run âem both and the coupe wins.
of course - the coupe was a manual. And lots of the magazine guys suck at shifting.
if you take an a10 vert and run it against the coupe - same driver, same track, same hour, the vert will be behind. Weight, and righty arenât subjective. And all factor.
Wait for the coup.
convertibles are a pain unless you specifically dream of s convertible.
if itâs just to get into a mustang quickly, youâll likely regret it.
cons:
1) it will be slower.
2) it wonât last as long.
3) it will be structurally somewhat weaker.
4) youâll have to replace the top...
Dang. Couldnât this be a DM?
Supply chain is a little tricky - especially when demand is not a constant.
the guys have to be profitable in order to remain in business. Making a bunch of stuff just to have it take up space until the next surge is anathema.
I know it sucks when you are itching...
an lt1 isnât exactly a DH competitor is it? More a GT competitor.
a more apples to apples comparison would be 1LE.
all for the Mustang trouncing the Camaro. But it needs to be an honest comparison.
no. Youâre right. I mentioned the vette, not z06. But when GS mentioned his z06, I combined them in my head. My bad. The z06 was indeed faster. As it should have been
but I stand by the fact of the time that the terminator was faster than the c5 vette. Because it was. And that was special since...
LOL. some folks just donât know. If you havenât owned one, you have no idea. The code name was fitting. Not just stock, but modified as well.
looking back, it was amazing that it was as performant as it was considering the still-novel IRS, the inaugural FI effort, and the fact that the sn95 was...
The z06 in 03-04 was a tick slower than the Cobra. So perhaps you simply didnât know how to drive the Mustang. The stock shifter was horrible.
If you managed a 12.8 in the Terminator, thatâs decent. Itâs what some of the car magazines got. It was capable of better however.
you remember...
Oh⊠I thought you said they couldnât go that fast⊠LOL. Btw, whippled Terminators run 9s. Sure you see some 10s and then some slower, but a setup Terminator is not the dog youâre pretending it is.
thete is another site known for a healthy terminator following⊠wonât post it here out of respect...
incorrect. Lots of mid 12bone stock. And that was without the benefit of a quick shifting automatic.
the big issue with high horsepower terminators at the time was wheel spin and wheel hop. That was the only holdup with respect to blazing times. There was a guy running in the 10s on a just a...
Interesting, isn't it? All valid points - well, except maybe the aero - the Dark Horse appears to have even worse aero. I think the big thing that the aftermarket should really push for with this generation is lightweighting EVERYTHING that can be lightweighted.
The Terminator was heavy for its...
there are at least two cars theyâre testing against each other. Gives faster turnaround for dialing in what they learn on each run.
the car is a dream. The only thing I wish they did different was go twin turbo and push it over 1000 Hp at the level this car is at Since the Zr1 is coming out...
