    Are the Recaros worth it?

    It's kind of too bad that Recaro didn't make these seats with articulated side bolsters. That way each individual could customize the fit to their liking. Adding these features would increase the seat cost for sure...but I do recall performance seating in some older cars decades ago having...

    What will it take to save the V8 Mustang?

    Well, I think the power train change over that's coming is inevitable. How manufacturers make it palatable to current ICE Mustang lovers should prove interesting. The bottom line for Ford and other manufacturers is total fleet emissions. I thought it was explained very well in an article I...

    GT Premium Wheels are Disgusting

    Don't over think the stock wheels...as mentioned prior, you'll eventually purchase aftermarket rims. Stock wheels are cast, they're heavy, and the aftermarket makes some very nice width and fitment options. I ditched my PP wheels as soon as I was able...

    Take a Deep Breath

    Not until long after the issues with the first glued tubes, and even the issues with monocoque were long resolved and the prices started to drop. I was a big tube Klein guy for many years!

    Take a Deep Breath

    I've got to say that much of the "got-to-be-the-first-to-own" angst is brought about by this very attitude. I've learned over the years, regardless of brand, to do the exact opposite. I'll usually wait a year or two, or even three before I purchase a new or heavily revised model of anything...

    DH connecting rods

    I just finished reading Jim Smart's updated Coyote Engine book, and I would highly recommend it as required reading if you're planning on exceeding 600 horsepower in a stock Coyote and you want it live a reasonable life expectancy: https://www.amazon.com/Ford-Coyote-Engines-REV. There's a bit...

    📸 Mustang GT3 Road-Version Prototype Spied Testing with Center-Exit Exhaust

    Maybe more aero flexibility with center exhaust? If you look at track only or dual use vehicles, center or raised exhaust seems to be a regular feature.

    What was deciding factor(s) in going from s550 to s650 for you?

    With the suspension upgrades I've added to my S550, there isn't much that moves the needle for me to switch. No into tech unless it improves performance significantly. Since handling is mi gig, a few more horsepower isn't enough for me to switch. If I didn't already have an S550, then I'd...

    Are the Recaros worth it?

    I think that it all depends one what you plan to do with the car. If you planning on tracking it, the Recaros with the additional side bolstering are a nice feature. I track my car and have the regular premium seats. Their okay for track use, I've never had an issue with them providing enough...

    Is 486hp enough?? Let’s discuss

    I have to say...if this is the swan song for ICE motors, the Coyote is a pretty darn good send off! As someone above mentioned, 100 horsepower per liter in a street motor!? Stop, think about that, and let it sink in. Look at the large cubic inches it required back in the day to even get close...

    S650 Worth Asking Price?

    Tesla only wins this if you only ask it to do this one to three times in succession, get 'em on the continuous light to light. I think they cll this a one trick pony...:-)

    S650's direct competition?

    Car & Driver did a comparison a couple of issues back with the S550 Mach 1, and due to the Supra's lighter weight, they were pretty darn close in performance down the line. The Nissan realy wasn't in the running at that test point.

    Will there be a S650 PP2?

    With performance being a relative attribute. And if a "performance bargain" is what this exercise is designed to illustrate, I would say that there are too many variables to accurately define what "performance" actually is.

    Will there be a S650 PP2?

    Well, maybe not. Rotational mass and where it's located will have something to say about this.

    Styling? Whats happening?

    Hey, don't like it, don't buy it. No one's holding a gun to anyone head.

    Will there be a S650 PP2?

    I think we also need a $$$ column in here somewhere. Cost per hp/lb or some such, as this does have bearing on the other columns.

    S650 / S750 start of production and end of model dates

    Hopefully, sodium-ion battery technology or some other chemical union will have replaced lithium by the time the S-750 debuts.

    Is 486hp enough?? Let’s discuss

    Enough for what is what I'd ask? How many folks "regularly" fully utilize what they already have? I track my car a several times a year and never found myself asking...gee I wonder how more horsepower would help my driving accumen...instead, I usually find myself saying, "boy brother...you...
