For real this time, I am done writing test drive reviews/observations here and will keep that stuff to myself going forward (I think I've accomplished what I needed to do a while ago, anyways, and posting more would just be redundant at this point). If someone could please lock this thread or...
Yup. Just a filthy casual EcoBoost owner posting his general/random observations from driving various vehicles of varying levels of sportiness, much to the chagrin of hardcore car enthusiasts everywhere. It is what it is, hot takes included.
My manual mishaps aside, I found the ride quality not to my liking and wasn't a fan of the drone at idle.
In other news, I recently test drove a GR Supra. It was a nice vehicle overall, but not enough to persuade me not to consider a GT. Part of me wonders if knowing a lot of its internals were...
If I had an unlimited budget?: If new, DB12, AMG GT55, Panamera Turbo, or Revuelto.
Realistically?: Besides the Mustang GT or Mach-4, I don't know...if I were more ambitious, mechanically inclined and actually had the patience for it, maybe I'd get a stick shift New Edge GT as a project/weekend...
I'm sorry for reviving this thread out of nowhere again, but is there any chance we hear something noteworthy about the Mach-4 at the New York International Auto Show?
Thanks for keeping an eye and ear close to the S650 scheduling. Potentially 2029 for a refresh means potentially a lot more time for me to save up and keep observing what happens with Ford and the rest of the automobile manufacturers out there.
Since last time I test drove a few more cars. Specifically, a Camry XSE, Explorer ST, and a V6-equipped Ranger Lariat. Nothing particularly noteworthy or memorable other than it was my second time test driving a Ranger---and switching the drive mode to Sport in that truck made it a lot more fun...
I love this side profile, possibly more than the RS7. I wonder if those proportions could carry over to a midsize/fullsize 4-door sedan/sport back.
I also had a thought to differentiate the Mach-4 from the Mustang. What if the Coyote was detuned to 400-448 HP for the Mach-4, with a Ford...
With rumors of Hemi V8s coming back to Dodge/Ram products, the 4-door Charger becomes a little more appealing to me. But I do wonder how much heavier that car will feel taking turns compared to the last-gen Charger and Challenger.
I was thinking the Mach-4 should be no smaller than the CT5 and no larger than the previous-gen Charger (or the FPV GT-F 351 [Ford Falcon]) .
Also, why does the current-gen 4-door Charger side profile look better (or at least less awkward) than the 2-door Charger?
