as someone who works in the service department of a Ford dealer, this does not make sense. the 5 year/60k mile powertrain warranty applies only to the powertrain itself. drilling out the grill will not on it's own void the powertrain warranty, but will void the 3 year/36k mile bumper to bumper...
props to the artist who drew Homer in the dirt on the hood. looking forward to them opening for commissions!
jokes aside, a hybrid EcoBoost would be pretty neat, and if the F-150 Powerboost is anything to go by, insanely fast, but not quite "this is stupid but fun" fast of an EcoBoost Transit
looking back on what i said, that was nonsense. i think i forgot how bulletproof the Coyote engine is. also, i'm pretty sure i was confusing something. basically, just ignore my previous comments as they're pointless noise. im gonna justify it as "bored with nothing happening at work at 13:00 on...
and your insurance. and your money. and maybe even your life. basically, never disable TC let alone AdvanceTrac once you supercharge. recipe for disaster real quick
nearly 600hp naturally aspirated with cams? real question is how long that engine is going to last. i think that is well into the realm of unsafe/unstable power
yeah, Ford has pretty nearly maxxed out the abilities of the naturally aspirated Coyote V8. it seems like any additional power from here is going to cost a lot for little. they have high compression, a cylinder head with high volumetric efficiency, DOHC with intake and exhaust VVT, port and...
probably because it has no way to actively cool the diff fluid. the moment it goes hard around a track, it's gonna go wrench light and set P183E - differential oil over temp. im surprised Shelby, with their performance vehicle history, didnt add that to such a powerful vehicle
still, based on performance alone, i dont know who can justify 160k for a "performance mustang" that doesnt even have the diff cooler from the Dark Horse. you can fit 315s under the stock fenders no issue, and 325s if you dont mind the smallest amount of rubbing and poke. the hood is aluminum...
honestly, this looks pretty underwhelming. sure, you'll know its a shelby, but its gonna be on par or beat by a supercharged GT that is 1/3 of the price and has more customization options
since i now have a 3D printer and some CAD knowledge, i was thinking about making a bespoke widebody/fender flare kit. it would probably be replacement fenders with bolt on flares for the front bumper, rear bumper, and quarter panel, with a replacement side skirt. not sure whether to print it in...
given what i've seen people say about the R888R and the A7, i think im going to go with the Hoosier A7s. it sounds like the main thing about the R888Rs is they hook up really well but are just alright everywhere else, where the A7s have countless reviews praising their autocross performance...
i trust the guys at the dealer i work at, plus i never leave my car's side if it's in the shop and am highly hesitant to leave it anywhere that is not where i am for any amount of time. basically, i'm one of the most difficult types customers to deal with, "waiter or no work"
privacy in the modern age is a myth. your car spies on you. your phone spies on you. your computer spies on you. your house spies on you. other people's phones spy on you. honestly, i think at this point it may be too late to push back on it, companies have been inching into people's lives with...
