    Tempted to buy a mach-e gt

    You’ve obviously never met a single woman on this planet earth, whose job it is to habitually leave their cars at or near E in the hopes their husbands will fill the car up.

    Tempted to buy a mach-e gt

    I bought a Mach E GT new like 6 months ago once they threw the 0% for 60 months at it. I drive a crazy amount and I considered getting a Tesla but I like the Mach E interior and the 0% was good at the time. I currently have 19,108 miles since then. My utility rate at my business is .07 kWH(!)...

    I've got some odd symptoms What do the SVTP Doctors think?

    I had shingles in 2020 a couple months after I had original recipe corona, and I was 40 at the time. I'm quite sure that's yet another side benefit of the corona release. Let me tell you, that was a real asshole of a condition. Side felt oddly hot and tingly to the touch for a couple days. I...

    Full Bronco Raptor Towing Review | Maxxed Out

    Where did you find the accurate dry weight? I'm looking around for a trailer to tow with the Braptor now but the options that are at or bleow weight recs seem really few and far between. This trailer seems like it's the max you're really gonna be able to get. Looks pretty good to me but it...

    C8Z06 vs Ford GT

    I personally have never seen a Ford GT in public. I think that was like 65-70 newer cars, which is almost 10% of the entire U.S production (~887). I was pretty surprised with the fact that virtually everyone was willing to participate in the track day too. Should probably get off my ass and...

    Post one newer pic of your ride (EVERYONE!!)

    For the time being, wife's daily driver. Satin XPEL over cactus grey. Really and truly, the vehicle I find more fun than any other.

    If Las Vegas and F1 operated a ski resort:

    Ended up being one of the most exciting races on the calendar and after the day 1 cluster everything went off smooth. The racing was really surprisingly good; much more so than a lot of the parade sessions on the calendar. They need to move it earlier in the year so it’s not so cold and get...

    Mustang Mach E: The Edsel of our generation

    In a development that is no way surprising, you actually don't know what BlueCruise is. BlueCruise is completely hands off. You're probably attempting to think of what's referred to as the "lane-keeping system" most cars have. Every day, I get on the interstate and for just under 60 miles 1...

    Mustang Mach E: The Edsel of our generation

    I have a super long, very regimented commute so I bought a Mach E GT last month. My plan is to put probably 40-50k miles a year on it and see how long it will last. To be honest, I ****ing love the car. I've put 4,000 miles on it in just over a month and I would say roughly 80% of that is...

    Ford releasing a supercar Mustang Thursday 17th

    I honestly have no idea what it weighs, but I just don't see how it can weigh much less than a GT500 CFTP. CF body panels and mag wheels aside, it's going to require a lot of cooling, and it's got a bunch of hydraulic shit in it, and that brings weight. BS was around 3,600, static ride height...

    BS is definitely underrated HP wise. I think it's probably around 775 hp and it's probably at least 200 lbs less. I'm a skeptic GTD can possibly be this fast and that's just a compliment to the BS. Anything under 7 min is ridiculous fast, but 6:45 and under is insane. Yeah for sure. It...

    3RS was 6.44.84, BS was 6:43.61. I think the Manthey stuff with GT2 RS was very un-Porsche. The BS is a total sledgehammer. I had about 60 new GTs out at a track day and I had the BS out there and it was no problem for me as a very average driver to calmly mow through traffic. I expect the...

    I don't know what rocks you're smoking, but for what it's worth Ford made $1.9 billion in net income in Q2 and it's full year earnings forecast remains between $11-12 billion. That's making about $1 billion every 30 days.

    Ford releasing a supercar Mustang Thursday 17th

    How would you describe a GT3 RS to a regular person? How would you describe an AMG GT Black Series? The average person has no idea what's what when it comes to any of this stuff. The leap is bigger with GTD, but you can buy a 911 for pretty much $400,000 which is almost $300,000 higher than...

    For those of you that do like the car or maybe want it, I did put up a website for specific discussion about it. I anticipate doing some joint Ford GT / GTD events the next several years, including some race events (various IMSA races, Le Mans). http://www.mustanggtdforum.com

    The class the car it's based on races in is called GTD.

    Ford releasing a supercar Mustang Thursday 17th

    Oh it's much faster than a regular 2017-2022 FGT. GT wasn't super hardcore in terms of setup. Narrow-ish front tires and only a small wing. GTD has a shit ton more downforce and much more aggressive tires, in terms of both size and compound.

    There's a lot of nice cars you can buy for this kind of money but the appeal of GTD is really specific. For me personally, I like track-oriented, big wing, aero, motorsports-derived cars. The benchmark for that is and will always be the GT3 RS which is really pretty much unbeatable IMO as the...

    Ford releasing a supercar Mustang Thursday 17th

    It's definitely not my first choice, but it's hard to complain. It's a 7500 rpm motor that makes...a lot of power. It won't be 800. I did. The numbers don't mean anything other than "here is a numbered chip to signify you were sent one." Mine was numbered 69; maybe that's a message...

    I have long had this discussion with FMC. There are many people there that are of the belief that they simply cannot sell a car at this price without mega horsepower, and you aren't reasonably getting that power with anything N/A.

    The ZL1 1LE has DSSV dampers. The ASV dampers are a major step change up from regular DSSV. MM ran around a new Ford GT with ASV dampers on it to prove how huge the difference was from the DSSV setup on that car.

    Yeah I really love those guys. Larry is the ****in man, and obviously Raj. But there’s just a ton of awesome people over there who really give a shit and know their shit when it comes to motorsports and performance. It’s a big part of the allure of programs they’re involved in.
