Pretty soon we'll all be stuck with self-driving electric bubbles so none of this will matter anyway. At which point we'll all be begging for anything that actually requires a driver let alone giving a damn about 1/4 mile times, handling, comfort...etc.

Anyone remember when the 07-09 GT500 came out and everyone complained it was nose heavy, wouldn't handle and was a boat? so ford put the aluminum bock it it, gave it recaros and tons of suspension upgrades in 2012-2014. Then the Hellcats came out and all of a sudden we don't care about handling lol I swear you could give people a golden egg and they would still complain.
Part of the problem with the 07-09 GT500 the extra 100hp was lost on the weight gain. The Terminator was still the better car.

For all the belly aching about handling, the Challenger family drives extremely well and are basically the "rose tinted glasses" version of what people think of, when they think of vintage muscle cars.

Ford absolutely has been enamored with European sports cars and the global market recently. V6 Ford GT, V6 Raptor and a S550 that is practically a Aston Martin clone. The "Shelby" program is all about trying to out Porsche the 911.


Now we got an E-Muskrat coming to compete with the Teslas.

LOL, GT500 can't run with the Tesla, the MachE wont stand a chance ;)

2020 GT500 would kill a P100D Model S at a track and thrash it around a road course.

The Mach-E, not sure. Doubtful.

In case anyone missed what it looked like from inside the cabin, of the world’s fastest GT500 vs that stock Demon:

You can address 60' pretty easy in a auto car
How you gonna address that MPH
Im not saying a car that traps 100mph and dead hooks will beat a car that traps 150 and spins. But two cars even remotely similar in performance, the one that 60fts better will always have the advantage in the 1/4 mile. That 12mph trap advantage was worthless against that 60ft.

If addressing 60fts are so easy to correct why are the GT500’s still pigs out of the hole?

How about adding slicks and keeping the motor warranty

How much would wheels and 2 rear tires cost? as much as a tune?

Ummm...there have been multiple GT500’s on sticky tires. Still dont 60ft worth a damn lol

what are you on about
that demon ran 9.97 @ 132
'Fastest' Gt500 ran running 9.8 @ 144?
On low profile street tires.

Street tires? R888’s? Yup. Just crappy old street tires. That’s why 2k hp Lambos and GTR’s run them. Cmon man...
