Nobody is saying it's for performance except Ford themselves.... that was my whole point. > Ford marketing says flat bottom wheel is for performance. > I made original post saying they are not for performance. They are for ergonomics. > You say I'm missing the point but also say they are for...

Completely agree. I never said it didn't serve a purpose. I said it does nothing for performance handling and has everything to do with ingress and egress. Am I missing something here? Are we all talking about the same post?

You say I'm missing the point but then you make the exact same argument I made....I don't understand your logic. 🤦‍♂️ The flat bottom wheel helps people get in and out of the car. It's an ergonomics thing. The fact that the bottom of the wheel is flat has zero to do with the performance or...

You guys are preaching to the wrong choir. Tell this to @IceGamer and @RaceRedder I'm not the one with the problem with how the Mustang hp is advertised.

I suppose it's a difference in culture. If Europeans are used to cars being sold with wheel hp being advertised and then buy an American car not knowing engine hp is the standard, I could see how that could appear misleading. Need to compare stats in the same units of measure. 500hp crank vs...

There is no over exaggeration. They advertise the car comes with an engine that makes 500 hp.....because it does. If people can't wrap their heads around drivetrain loses, that's their problem.

I really wish they offered a cheaper model say with cloth seats and such. I think it's a tad over priced. Otherwise, probably one of the best sports cars you can buy right now. Definitely one of the lighter weight options.

Thank you. Everybody wants to make a 10-15 min video these days when the same info could be conveyed in one sentence.

They all do it. When the Supra first came out, I saw a local dealer had one, asking for *I kid you not* $100k. Sad thing is, someone probably paid it.

Following for future content. Glad to see someone taking it to the track already. I'm assuming the '24 GT PP has the same "oil cooler" that the S550's have....the water-to-oil cooler that's really there for emissions to bring the oil to operating temp quickly.

If they are like the S550's, the A10's come with a trans temp gauge but not the manuals. The PP cars come with diff temp gauge. I don't believe that is the case but I would love to be wrong here. The S550's came with a water-to-oil cooler. It ran the coolant around an oil line which was mostly...

As someone who tracks an S550 GT, the PP GT will still need upgrades to be competitive. A 255 wide tire on a 4,000 lb car is a joke. If you want it to turn well, put the biggest tires up front that you can. For S550s (and probably S650s as well) that was 11" wide wheels with 305 or 315 wide...

I don't know, I think manufacturers use AWD purely as a marketing scheme nowadays. I don't understand all the hype behind it....then again I live in Socal where a light drizzle is about the most extreme weather we get. AWD would make sense as an option on the "normal" Mustang but for this...

Lose the AWD and I'm sold!

It's definitely doable. Take the Supra and give it a cheaper interior. Take the Civic Type R, chop two doors off and make it RWD. Take the BRZ, give it a turbo and beef up the drivetrain a tad.

Yes, lol! Though being able to buy one new would be ideal.

I just want someone to make a small, light, still fast, affordable sports car. Mustang = too heavy Camaro = too heavy Challenger = way too heavy Corvette = little expensive and still on the heavier side Supra = also a little expensive and a little heavy 400Z = little on the heavy side Cayman =...

Since it seems Ford is toying with the idea of expanding the Mustang brand (Mach E, hybrid, four door, etc) who would be interested to see a smaller, much lighter, more "sports car" than "grand touring" Mustang? I know where I stand but I'm curious if I'm in the minority or not.

PART 2 So you've been to one or two events and now you're completely hooked. Performance driving has sunk its teeth in and opened up your wallet. Where do you go from here? Like most people, the quick and tempting conclusion is to buy all the shiny go-fast parts that you see real race cars...

No aero for the R though? Found that surprising considering its predecessors had aero. I suppose it can always be added
