Well, Ray Charles could see that would be apples to oranges. 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder is a big difference. 8 cylinder to $20,000 more money 8 cylinder with fifteen more horses and horsey emblems on the fenders isn't a big difference. These two comparisons are not the same. Let's not get...

Us middle aged guys are the ones who have the most trouble with the pricing on these cars. LOL. Back in the 2000s my wife and I had a brand new house in a brand new subdivision and paid $145k for the property AND house. That's why the idea of paying the same money for a Mustang is just so...

Those are the best looking OE wheels put on a Mustang in YEARS. I'm digging that Magenta....

My group has several 5.0 cars, S197 and S550 mainly, with superchargers, turbo kits, etc. All of them are nothing but trouble. Sure, they push 1,000 HP or more on the dyno but the guys miss 50% or more of our car events because there is always SOMETHING wrong with their cars. Tuning isn't...

It's common knowledge that the dual TBs was an emissions move. Ford discussed it, people close to Ford like "RevnEvan" discussed it, vendors like LMR discussed it. It was all over the internet.

It was 100% for emissions goals, and it made everything more complicated (more precise tuning needed) and more expensive (twice the parts). They talked about this from the very beginning of the S650 reveal.

It is interesting, isn't it? Ford made everyone happy by announcing that the V8 engine would stay. But then, they put the funky dual throttle body design on it in the name of emissions compliance which complicated things and added cost. And they jacked the price WAYYYY up. And every model...

My Conti's weren't. And you're right, they can't be compared because the Kendas are better objectively in every category. In fact, all of the "off brand" tires I've had performed better than Contis, Mickey Thompsons, Goodyears, etc. It's to the point that I've stopped wasting money on "class...

I'm running the Kenda Vezda KR400s right now. LOVE them. Quiet, good traction, and the ride quality is so nice. I never had any luck with the made in meh-hee-co Continental DWS06 tires. Couldn't get them to balance out and they're just over priced.

What blows me away is that the front diff, axle shafts, and t-case handle the abuse of 700+ HP launches. That's just wild. But they do. I have yet to see one break. And when guys launch them in 4-high you can kiss them goodbye. A Mustang is not going to keep up. Instant tail lights. Heck...

Same thing on my F-250, they had to replace the left bank of steering wheel buttons. Has been good now for a lot of miles.

Truth speech. Wife bought another new one last year and amazingly it's only had one recall so far. But that car is constantly pissed off about something. BEEP BEEP BEEP. Too close to the wall in the McDs drivethru, cat just walked behind the car, seat belt isn't on, oil change due in 6,000...

Everything BMW/MINI we've ever had has been junk. Terrible build quality and engineering. And dealers are fewer and farther between which makes all the repairs more of a hassle. I now avoid anything from Europe like the plague.

When I drive my 392 Hemi car and 5.0 Coyote car the main thing that jumps out is the torque difference in the low and mid range between the two. We all know the Coyote engine screams on the top end and that's why the Mustang got so much faster after 2011. But just in day to day driving, the...

Not a fan. Ick.

I'm 23 years into my government career and it just occurred to me that I've never owned a new Mustang. Ever. I had a '94, '95, '01, '03, and '13 all purchased well used. With prices they way they are now, the ONLY chance I'll have to get a new one is if I am really good over these next few...

The problem with the M3, M4, M5, Mwhatever is that they are european garbage. I've never had a BMW anything in my driveway that was worth pissing on if it caught fire. I agree 100% that Ford overpriced the Mustang. Pony cars and muscle cars were always small cars with big motors for low...

I guess nobody is poking fun at the Dodge Challenger now, eh? I've always wondered why everybody gave the Challenger at 4,200 lbs. so much hell. The Mustang GT Premiums check in at 3,900, and they're MUCH smaller and less practical. I just don't understand the hate.

So these cars are FINALLY hitting dealers this week. Here's what we've learned so far: - Can't do burnouts in them. Dodge CEO McAlear or whatever his name is says that they will update software to allow burnouts in the "Stage 2" variants later this year. Pathetic. - They've gotten 82 orders...

I assume Ford uses an auxiliary battery for the ESS function like Dodge does? That's what annoys me; the added complexity to the 12V/charging system. You even have to disconnect the batteries in a certain way if you want to totally kill 12V power for safety before working on it. Having said...
