It has none of the fuel efficiency of a turbo V6 while having all the farts of a generic one.

There are cars cheaper than it that threaten it in performance whilst also offering a V8.

They are using the name of a car made famous by said V8 to advertise an engine its supposed to be proving its better than and doing a poor job of it so far.

The original GT and the last one were supposed to be a middle finger to exotic manufacturers from a humble one that mostly sells shitboxes. This one puts the humble manufacturer in the seat of acting like a highly exclusive exotic manufacturer and from what i heard you not only have to be worthy but they are trying to tell you what you can and can't do with your car (i sure as hell hope that isn't true)

They aren't going to achieve anything in motorsports that their V8 rivals haven't achieved.

...

I'm not sure if this car is supposed to be a really elaborate prank or not but it kinda feels like it. If i had the money i think i would've asked Ford personally how much it would cost them to develop and produce this car and then double that by paying them my own money just to not produce this car or anything other than it. Spend that money on their luxury platform Lincoln or design a new ground-breaking electric car or make an actual hybrid hyper car that undercuts the price of the hyper car three and fucks them up. any of those things would've been better or objectively more useful than this and i would've personally used my own money to help them achieve it.

Might as well just drive a coffin.

Or a fiat.

If it was V8, manual and rwd

I own a Chevy, I already did.

pls respond

no its not, his fatass could get touch up paint and throw some of that on there(if it is as small a scratch as you say). He's trying to fuck you

Anybody have any idea what the fuck happened?

From what I read online after a Google search it says that tempered glass, or safety glass, will grow microscopic cracks as it stresses, and eventually these cracks will grow togther and take off exponentiallly. The stress of the chassis flexing slightly while stopping was likely enough to set off the chain reaction. Look it up, I'm sure you could make more sense of it than me

7 years seems like a pretty long mid-life crisis.

Pass smog

Everything serviceable, rubber and liquid.
Don't be tempted to run it before everything is done

Drain gas tank and it inspect it. It might need to be "etched" and flushed. I'd probably opt for new tires too. Also clean that carb of varnish. New battery. Flush coolant and brake fluid. All should be good if nothing is fucked up like a seized caliper piston. Oh, change the oil too.

because it looks gay and is just a heavy Civic

it also has two seats

a two seat, front wheel drive car.

no, they get a lot of love and they are good cars!
It's just that they have the reputation to be a coffin.

That's what they are, a vtec coffin.

I could beat them on my turf since Im in Appalachia

otherwise Id just try to find some way to hangout with Farmtruck and AZN since my car is about 5 seconds slower in the 1/8 than theirs

Buy a $200k 6 second drag car.

>>16783670
Spend $100,000 on a stupid ass "street" drag car to race those morons. Maybe a 240z or something stupid light that I can gut, put and LSX in it, build that motor, huge drag slicks, trans and diff replacement, and a cheeseburger to eat while it gets built.

Because I live in Yuroop, and cars here are overpriced as fuck, so I expect it to start at over 70k euro.
