Too bad they use them for a glorified parade.

A buddy had an air-cooled Beetle that was lifted on VW microbus portal axles. The motor was straight piped, and actually sounded amazing. It was the fastest thing I've ever driven off road.

The WRX 4-cylinder is a boxer, not an inline like the Ford motors. They will always sound different because of the different configuration. The point I was trying to make is that an inline-4 can only get so big. This is due to balancing and smoothness issues. Smaller displacement motors...

What's the highest displacement 4-cylinder you can think of off the top if your head? Then, think of the highest displacement v6 and v8. I think the answer will become clear to you.

TL DR, they sell a whole hell of lot more Coyote's in the the F150 than the Mustang. The last year of concrete data I was able to find for F150 take rates was in 2017. 896,764 F150's were sold, of which "1 in 4" were Coyotes. This was actually a large decline from the previous years, mostly...

Not to mention how much safety regulations have to do with vehicle size/design.

I think this paragraph from the article would address that concern: "One of the primary purposes of the Ford CD6 platform is to drive scale economies even further by sharing parts with other vehicles. In that regard, CD6 is not so much a platform as it is a flexible vehicle set – a...

Explain the 6th gen Camaro then. Was this the conversation at GM, "Hmmm, no one seems to like the styling, let's double down on it!". You're right though, most cars could badge swap without anyone noticing.

Only when it's very cold... Still 54 inches, which is quite respectable.

Confirmed. The base model is also a turbo 2 liter...for $60k. No wonder they never want to play with me. To get Coyote numbers, you need to drop 6-figures. May as well buy a GT500 at that point. Why does anyone buy non-Mustang's?

Fox!

Dodge does it with the 5.7. The 6.4 is basically just a stroked 5.7. They make their mpg number with cylinder deactivation (which I deactivated).

That's how they designed the Smart Car!

The mini is just to scale. It's so hard to find pants that fit...

Yes and they all copied my dick :facepalm: That's right, my medical condition was the inspiration for all modern car designs.

Lurk moar

I loved the S197 from the get-go. I still hate the SN95/New Edge.

Ok, on topic then. I think it's a sculpture that will only have a vague resemblance to the actual car. It's worse even than a "concept car" in its abstraction from an actual production vehicle.
