Ruh, roh.
I am not an American car fan and was never a Ford fan, but holy shit the new Ford GT is one of the hottest exotics out there...!
Same. They really found a way to make the mid-engine design completely different, which is sweet.Quote:

Didn't click the link, but can you even register/drive it in the US? I seem to recall Bill Gates having to get some double secret probation clearance to drive/register his. Emissions or some shit.Quote:

A rather special episode of Chris Harris Drives, this week. He talks us through a weekend at Goodwood Revival, and his RAC Tourist Trophy race in a delightful little Jaguar E-Type.
Proof, if any were needed, this is one of the car calendar’s must-do events.
Things escalated quickly during an impromptu car show, cars and color in Telluride.
Talked to a guy with an Austin Healy he's had since new in 1965, 48k miles. Lots of eye candy.

Just a Guards Red 959... No big deal.
Sweet!
The "Petrolicous" feed on Facebook and Instagram is classic car porn perfection.

Another nice day for driving in the books.
I'll say it again; I rarely like aftermarket rims but those look right on your sled!

4matic's going to shit his pants...
On another note, I replaced the shift bracket and bushings, added wheel spacers, and deleted the resonator on the R. So fun. Sounds awesome. Holding my breath on the sw upgrades... So tempting to think 80 more HP and torque is available for a $699, 15 minute software upgrade. 0-60 in 3.6s. It's pretty sick... It also voids the warranty. Still holding off for now. But I sort of wake up each day thinking "I should just swing down there and do it." We'll see. But as soon as I swallow the warranty pill, it's just a high pressure fuel pump, downpipe, and maybe some motor and trans mounts to get to stage 2+... 400ish hp, 410 torques. $1500 all in maybe? Maybe another $700 for the big brake kit - would need a clutch too... Hard to imagine it won't all happen when I upgrade my summer tires. $3,500 and this Golf is pushing 911 Turbo type numbers. 0-60 in 3.1ish.. It's insane. What a car...
Hopefully VW has beefed up the engines internals or you're going to have a broken engine with the added boast. And I don't think 4matic is a hatchback kind of guy, so he won't shit himself but just sneer in disdain. Me on the other hand, I am a Yuge hatchback fanboy and that is likely why I loves wagons as they are just big HB's.Quote:

I've never driven a car that does 0-60 in significantly less than 4 seconds. 3.1? A lot of bad shit can happen in a real hurry.Quote:

Guys on the Swedespeed site that boast their R's can end up with cracked cylinder walls. So ya, you may pay if you want to play with your cars boast. Errr, unless we're talking a Turbo 997 with a Mezger engine. Then it is all good. :D
