Thank you for the advice! I believe it's very good advice, because I thought the same thing and immediately started researching! I like the look of your wheel. Where did you get it done? Poor integration is less worrying to me, because that's only a cosmetic thing. As a person that has...

So you didn't think "ruthless culling of physical controls" could be construed as negative? What did you think was wrong with it? I thought it was pretty good, albeit brief and lacking details. It's good to know the steering wheel is improved. When I get out of my cheap Toybaru and into my...

No Mustang will ever live up to the legend that is Nickelback.

I think the looks are great. The interior seems like an improvement, but I would have to sit in the car and try out the controls to know for sure if I like it. Powertrain is MEH. Same crappy gearing. Same smallish 5 liter displacement. No weight reduction. Power is barely changed. Price...

Good post. I won't buy a car that doesn't have a manual transmission. So right there we don't see eye to eye. IMO ICEs don't have to be loud to be enjoyable. I prefer a quiet rumble that doesn't disturb others. And GM didn't design the C8 Corvette for people who think like me. For a 2...

That's a completely different engine built specifically for boost, different architecture even a different company building the engine. Not sure why this has anything to do with what I posted about putting a power adder on the stock GR86 engine to try to achieve 500 HP. Again, Toyota has...

Thank you for the information. They stuck with the crappy gearing. Weight - at least it didn't gain a lot but those numbers seem a little heavy. I think the 2016 GT350 was about 3,750 lbs so the dark horse is 100 to 150 lbs heavier than a GT350 (non R). I'm sure pricing will be higher than I...

I love the GR86, but I would not try to double the HP out of that Subaru engine. It would be a ticking time bomb. Maybe they are stronger than I think, but I trust Ford to make a bulletproof drivetrain. Subaru, not so much. I have a little concern about this as well, but I would be willing...

Sure of course. They all do. Hopefully it's dark enough or can be dimmed to be very dark.

I think the dash looks great in the images I've seen online so far. Having said that, I remember test driving a 2015 Corvette and I felt like there were too many big, bright screens in my face. It might depend a lot on the relative height and distance from the driver whether I will like it or...

Yes, I'm not sure why they put dark bags under the eyes like that. I like it, but it looks a little odd as well.

It looks great. A nice update inside and out. I'm really looking forward to the specs.

I bought my 2017 used in 2019 because I decided I preferred to pay 1/2 as much rather than buying a Mach 1 handling pack car or another GT350. I do agree with your implication that the 2018+ standard GT doesn't look quite as good as the earlier cars do. I also don't like the way the newer...

It seems obvious to me, but here we go. I think having an eggshell cylinder liner is not the best choice. I prefer to have fewer parts, so DI plus PI with an extra high pressure fuel pump and double the injectors is another change I don't like. It's great that the later engine makes more...

It's an important duty for parents to raise their kids right.

Hopefully they will be around here for that long as well - even if most are well-used at that point. No reason to throw away functioning equipment. That would be super wasteful. We should all be recycling.

I doubt even Ford execs know for sure. The simple plan is to just make everything EV, but what if EV doesn't sell? They have to work on alternatives. So I don't know what they are doing, but I really hope they have three or four different plans under development just in case. I think the...

PTWA makes the engine cheaper to build, for sure. I don't think there's any benefit to the end user. It makes the block a throwaway (or at least much more expensive to "rebuild"). I agree Ford is overly conservative with their tunes and octane rating. My Toybaru has to have 91 and they...

It really does nothing, because the flat is small and the steering column has up/down adjustment. Just an appearance thing. And really that's good, because the absurdly large flat bottom steering wheels are not very functional. It's a lot better to just have a smaller steering wheel. That...
