some of these guys don’t think we can see through the “but hey guys, I love my v8!” Jive when they’ve actively campaigned against it and for turning the mustang EV ONLY FOR YEARS. Also campaigning to turn the mustang into an ev pre-Mach e was pretty telling as well.
not buying your take = narrow.
ok.
the reality is, I take the point of view that the mustang should be the best it can be and the v8 should too. That’s in addition to ev development.
your view is that the v8 should go bye bye. I’d say that’s the more narrow and exclusionary. If you know, if...
They can lock the EU cars. No need in the USA.
ID GET INTO “laws and regulations, and how those change based on people in lower, but then Greg will whine and say I’m getting political - even though you brought it up.
Ford did not HAVE to.
It IS no doubt easier to track warranty and also for...
no dude. You don’t know it. You WANT it. Clearly. It’s not like you haven’t laid that out already. No need to pretend.
Also no your dream scenario wasn’t planned 20 years ago. The last truly great ceo Mullaly was impressively pushing the v8 and developing the ecoboost at that time, pulling Ford...
truth. If they wouldn’t have locked tuning out, the once glorious aftermarket would be booming and people would be buying up even the current mustang like crazy.
a huge part of the mustang has always been customization - and that includes powertrain.
not only a missed opportunity, but actively...
yeah nice try.
Someone asked why an administration would make a difference. I gave an answer. That’s not “getting political.” It’s answering a viewpoint. We can’t pretend certain aspects of life don’t exist. The point was administrations make s difference. One was clearly anti-oil. The other is...
bro. To be real, you’ve actively cheerled for the opposite for a while now - from when Mach E was just a rumor.
I would like to believe it. But I haven’t seen it other than these recent words.
when one administration shuts down oil production, blocks new oil production, and declares climate change worse than hitler - and the new one yells out “drill, baby drill!” While stirring the confidence of corporate leaders yeah, I’d say it’s a really big deal. Normally I’d agree about short...
not when ford has publicly committed to pushing it forward.
And with a certsin event in the USA Today, I’ve s feeling we eill see a v8 resurgence.
sorry.
mustamg would fit the bill for that too. Missed that part yourself.
mustang is for everybody.
instead you steer a potential customer elsewhere. In this of all threads.
if you don’t see the problem there, then you are beyond reason.
but your posts speak for themselves.
anti-v8...
i don’t suggest. I state clearly. Apparently you were reading into things. But even with your assumption, it seems you defeated your own point since UOU pointed out the batteries are piling up. At least you had some truth in there. Keep it up.
LOL.
IF a car is designed as an EV, no ICE engine fits. If a car is designed for a four cylinder, it’s challenging too. But as numerous custom builds have shown, the v8 most definitely fits just about anywhere you want it. It’s not a challenge for a civic to fit a v8 from the factory if Honda...
V8 engines make more power per than smaller number of cylinders at a given size one a certain displacement is reached. Covered this already.
you can look at frictional loss - duh. More cylinders/surface area. But then you bury your head in the sand and pretend to not notice that the fans far...
Wow. I have groupies now, following me around. Cool.
thank you for sharing your … Interesting opinion.
my take is based on the fact that V8s produce the most power and are capable of providing enough torque and horsepower to more than adequately move any size vehicle with hustle.
lesser...
