I tested Carpro TRIX, Carpro Iron X Paste and Riccardo Iron Maiden to see which is best at removing that nasty fallout that creates rust spots. I got some interesting results. All the products stink, some more than others!!!! They all seem to work a little differently. I did shoot a video so if...

Ya but why would you want to cut up a new car by adding the third pedal and render it hard to resell down the line as it would be a Frankenstein car. Just think of what you would have to do to the console. You comment is like buying a new car and then repainting it another color only worse as...

I will not be buying a new GT500 without a manual. I know performance numbers mean a lot to some people, but there is the fun factor, which to me is priceless. No manual=no new GT500

For me I was looking at buying one, but I am not interested in a DCT. I really want a manual transmission. For me I could care less about numbers. I want a high horsepower car with a manual transmission because it is FUN to drive. I think a lot of manufactures are loosing their way chasing...

So I watched a few more vids and its not a flat plane motor. They went traditional. Probably because of the forced induction. I really want to see numbers on this thing. From 0-60 its similar to the 13/14 GT500. The quarter will be quicker and it will handle much better. Can't wait until...

I heard at 2:15 mark that the Flat Crank was gone. They kept the displacement the same but did they change the crank to a cross plane?

Interesting they have a 5.2. Wonder if that 5.2 has any similarities to the 5.2 in the GT350. Wonder if it has the flat plane crank? Would be nice to see a detuned version of that engine make its way into the GT500.

The only electricity I want in a new GT500 is for lights!!!!!

Every have a great weekend. Maybe we will have some good discussion over the weekend. I'll try to check in.

I think that the ICE (internal combustion engine) gives you a different driving experience. I have been in a electrical car and while cool, they don't really excite me. Sometimes a burn out is kind a cool, and nothing like a V8 idling.......

I thing that saying 700HP is too much, or 1000HP is too much is not thinking things through. I would say a better method is using a power to ratio and at about 5lbs/HP you are getting near the limits. This is what the new ZR1 will put down. The trinity is 5.8 and the Hellcat is 6.4. The 5th...

Has anyone seen this:

Hey Guys, Ordered on March 4, went into Production on April 2 and delivered to the dealer on the 10th. Didn't think it would get to the dealer so fast. I have driven many cars and this car is a beast!!!!!!! Thanks to the SVT team and Carol Shelby.
