Corvettes had fuel injection in the 60s, but that was port injection - not direct injection. Why would I want a carb? They are overly complicated and a PITA to constantly adjust and clean. Port fuel injection is the sweet spot for engine technology that is perfectly functional without any...

You make a lot of good points. To be clear about my position, I don't want double the injectors in my engine. I think it's a waste of money. It makes the engine more difficult to work on and there are more parts to break. I also hate the PWTA cylinder liners in the newer Ford V8s. Throw...

I would prefer to see the engine run a little richer to control knock instead of using DI, which produces particulates. Or just "right size" the engine instead of over boosting it. That's why I own a 2017 Mustang rather than something newer. No DI in that engine. Easier and cheaper to fix...

My biggest issue with them is the direct injection systems, overall complexity and the cost to manufacture. Yes, they save a small amount of gasoline energy, but manufacturing and then replacing engines in a short amount of time takes waaaay more energy than just using a simpler V8 engine that...

4.5 0-60 - wow. That's awesome.

It would be so awesome if they would make a "normal guy" version with no carbon, smaller or no wing and a Coyote powerplant with a manual transaxle. Even though I realize it would still be really expensive, I would seriously consider buying. I think they could sell volumes of something like that.

I like the exterior appearance mods. To me the car looks cleaner and better integrated than the stock effort. Some of the S650s are very busy design wise.

The cost of carrying inventory is extremely high right now due to high interest rates. Typically dealers don't buy the cars or own them. They are essentially paying for a loan on the car while it sits on the lot. So there is a lot of motivation to move cars fairly quickly. Plus, it's hard to...

Huh, I love the wheels. I think they look great. But I can completely see wanting to purchase a partial and not the entire package. I agree hopefully they will sell the major parts separately. Is this a lead-in to a EB vs. V8 partial throttle racing post?

I bought my 2018 Fiesta ST for more than $4,000 under MSRP. It had less than 500 miles on it and it was "used", but it had only been owned by dealerships. Good car, but most people in the US don't like small, sporty cars. That's an example of what can happen. If people don't buy a car at...

People who are buying new cars faster than the manufacturers make them are what drive ADMs. If nobody bought the new cars, ADMs would go away and dealers would sell for under MSRP.

It would be interesting, but if the new PP1 is anything like the previous versions, the suspension is so soft that I doubt the car would work that well on track anyway. Wow, that was a very detailed and well thought-out response. Thank you for taking so much time. I do appreciate that you...

I was surprised that it was faster than the ZL1 1LE, plus it seemed like the DH wasn't incredibly stiff and uncomfortable like the ZLE. And I didn't hear a million rocks and pebbles thrown by the tires pinging off the wheel wells of the DH like you do in ZLE videos. I'm not sure whether the...

Dumbest move ever. The Tremec gearing is no better, though.

That review irritated me so much I couldn't watch the entire thing. I think the S650 looks good. Definitely an improvement over the 2018+ GT styling. I used to like Lieberman, but everything I've seen him in for the last couple years has been terrible. I really like the new Mustang colors...

I love the ACR based on what it is capable of, but I would feel pretty goofy driving it around on the street. Hopefully the GTD will receive similarly glowing reviews.

Yes, prices are high and I don't think cars need to have so many airbags and all the other expensive features, some regulated, some not. I'd also love a smaller Mustang that doesn't weigh 4,000 lbs. I think big companies often want regulations to serve as a barrier to entry. The problem is...

IMO it needs a manual transaxle, get rid of the carbon fiber and extra racey BS and call it the DH. MSRP should be around 70-80K. The DH should have been the GT - with normal GT prices starting in the low 30s. But what do I know? Ford seems to still have customers interested in their new...

Wow! That thing really got nailed! I personally would not bet on the engine/transmission being ok after that.

Congrats on the new car! I love the color. It looks great. Definitely the steering wheel cover on the older cars is cheap. I really hate mine. That's probably my biggest nit I have to pick with my car. One of these days I'll change it out, probably.
