a certain lawyer needs to be sent on a sightseeing tour of the Titanic. or dropped among a crowd of Cape fur seals or similar.

agreed. I can understand if the aftermarket wanted to be sloppy, but the factory panel should butt right up, ~1mm gap definitely no more than 2mm. Not 6+.

since when is that even a criteria in buying a car? It is for you apparently, but the other 2/3rds that buy the Ecoboost? I have no opinon on the IS350 pro or con. I just keep seeing them around the place and looked them up on MT and it turns out they are priced the same as the GT I drove...

with or without carbon trap intake restriction? :) There isn't a lick of useful difference between the 2 generations anyway - call me when it's > 10pct advantage and then I might open one eye and pretend to care.

hey nobody said it had to be a REASONABLE or realistic criteria. :) :) With how many things are "wrong" with the car, you have to bribe me. Bigly! With 200+ cars on the lot, I just might get so lucky. :) Oh I know it! Mine is a '21. It was 57k MSRP. I bought it at $42 three months old. I would...

rubbish. those people don't know where their clutch bite-point is. Granted Ford doesn't make it easy with their pedal and "assist" spring arrangement. If Steeda has their replacement clutch spring available, at least give that a try. The other problem with the S650 is Ford copied the stupid...

I must have missed something there. Oh you mean BOLT-on spacers. Yeah, NEVER NEVER NEVER. Thru-hole spacers only up front! Anyone who says different is selling something. You can find 19x10 in shallow ET. But your current bolts should be good for 5-8mm worth no? Just how much longer are they vs...

oh good lord. seriously?

I don't do YT, and your point is void. There are SCADS of links on this site to reviews, print, video, etc. regardless of good, bad, or indifferent. Hell, just yesterday we were discussing the latest Motortrend one. I scarce call it a review, it was vacuous to put it mildly. But they are free to...

because I owned a bunch of them? How many people do you know who've owned 5 different S550 in as many years?

uh, duh? And what of all the other professional reviews that were not exactly kind about the car? Are they also to be dismissed with a hand-wave? that's a HUGE game changer all on it's own. Maybe Ford managed to improve over the S550 incarnation that came with the PP1/EBPP. The dealer didn't...

tarrifs on? Chinese imports? Ok. Then the gov't needs to hike the bejeepers on the tarrifs and force Ford et. al. to bring manufacturing (eg. transmission) back to CONUS. offshoring was a financial scam. It needs to be reversed. As long as you aren't so stupid as to build a plant in Union Cartel...

<$300/mo lease and $5000 gas card. But they would have to replace the diff first. I'm not putting up with that transmission ratio without a fight even if the car was free. Did Ford screw with the trans ratios? I didn't turn anything up in a quick search. If you're gonna "sin", sin BIG, or why...

To be frank, I'm a S550 fan ('17 v6, '19 gt, '19 eb, '21 eb, '22 eb coastal, shopping for yellow/orange Mach 1) and Gen6 Camaro. But when the dealer has almost 200 cars on the lot, and says go pick one to drive for an hour or so and let me know what you think, I swallowed hard and said, Why TF...

I am not a fly on the wall at HQ but I bet they (design team) couldn't figure out what shape to make the trailing edge and so punted. If you look at the pic of the red one, you can see that the bends are all reasonable and straightfoward press/draw operations. So while the art department tried...

wow, okay you asked... https://www.mustang7g.com/forums/threads/psa-year-end-discounts-at-ourisman-manassas-va-14pct-off-eb-10-12pct-off-on-gt.159246/

hasn't that been true for a while now? if you extend the definition of 'joke' to include bad styling and charging huge markups on negligible content... Back in the fox body days he was a righteous soul, probably, but he has precious little to offer IMO since S550 days or perhaps also S197.

if you go to the top of this forum section you'll see another recent thread that is self-explanatory and goes higher than 5K off.

they probably figured if they could festoon enough electric blue on the thing the Feds could be convinced that it was an EV for CAFE purposes.

nice! where to get?
