Give me a warmed up aluminum block 7.3 in a 150 Tremor. You wont need a science project 3.5 with a 100 pound exhaust to still sound like shit. And they will sell a crap ton of them.
When you go to the Michelins with wider and lighter rims, an Exedy PP and clutch, lightweight flywheel, BMR bars, ARH long tubes with 13 GT500 mufflers, a CJ manifold, TB, a tune, and a CF driveshaft, you will be amazed at what an already fun car this thing can turn into. Mid 11's @121+ in the...
Those articles ring true. I'm disgusted with their timing and pricing on the performance that I love. Just bought my daughter a new CUV and didn't even look at ford because of it. Something in my earlier years I could not fathom, I'm thinking my last performance car is going to be a C8.
I think a Z06 C8 when it drops is going to maul a GT500. A Z51 C8 I think will best a GT350 for about the same money. And that mid engine traction has made 0-60-100 unwinnable for any Mustang. The bar has been raised and Ford needs to raise its game or adjust its numbers.
The second I saw that I thought how the hell are they going to machine that?..... 3-D printing......I think they might cost more than carbon fiber wheels.
Your're right, but I'm not ready to make that jump yet. I've upgraded the suspension and its 4WD too, as I have to get in sloppy areas at times for my business. My partner has the oil burner, might just use his for the time being.
I did a quick look at the speculation, and I have my doubts. I have to tow a fair amount for my business, and I'm about to get a 28 foot enclosed trailer for my race car. I wonder how long that battery is going to hold up on a 70 mile 6000 lb tow? Cost and complexity are also a question I have...
Also consider the transmission. I have an 3.5 eco f150, but the six speed. I can stall it to about 2500 before it spins. With lock up, they can run a looser converter. The eco will make more torque down low, but under load you wont be there anyway. The lower spread between 10 gears will also...
