    brand new car urge

    When did I say basically "purposely break things" as you are insinuating??? I didnt. I have said many times FORD will honor the warranty with their blower package on the car. FORD has a lot more experience and engineering into that to say "we will guarantee this for 3/36k"... My point is if...

    Not sure what you mean by fixed roof coupe. You have targa and you have HTC i.e. hard top convertible. My car is a targa... I have zero rattles or squeaks out of it. Noise from the targa complaints exist, but they are far far far down the list as far as people's gripes about the car. The HTC...

    If he buys new, has a 3/36k on the power train with the blower...who cares... yea its a pain in the ass, but its literally warrantied... Sounds like your ass hurts because you have a blown up 5.0 with a whipple... bet the dealer is completely covering it under warranty right??? And there is no...

    There are literally a ton of people who have proven that they last quite a while at that power level... Again if he's going to go beating on the car constantly I dont disagree with you that a built motor is the better way to go, but for the occasional blast, it'll be fine and there are tons of...

    You didnt read what I wrote or even do a single second of research of the topic at hand. I literally posted a link to the kit, you could have easily clicked on it. Ford/Whipple sells a kit for ~10k plus install that pushes 800hp and retains 3/36 powertrain warranty. They sell a stage 2 setup...

    Talk to Whipple and see what it takes to retain their warranty... NOW they may be owning the power train and Ford owns the rest of the 3/36... I dont know. https://whipplesuperchargers.com/i-2609-whipple-superchargers-s650-stage-1-gen-6-3-0l-supercharger-kit-powertrain-warranty-2024-2025.html...

    You mentioned an engine family and how modable they are... I did not mention an engine family OR making mods... I was talking about convertibles... Is there a 2 series/M2 convertible? No theres not... So therefor... M4...fucking....convertible...is a fat pig... Stop convoluting the...

    Not the same platform... at least not officially. Gen 6 Camaro is Alpha platform. ATS and CTS were Alpha platform. CT4 and CT5 appear to be their own platforms from what I can tell. I could believe the CT4 could be Alpha(or like a gen2 Alpha platform), but the CT5 is a decent bit bigger and...

    The CT4V and CT5V are fundamentally different cars though. CT4V is a mid-size-ish sedan while the 5 is a full size sedan. Beyond the engine difference they are just vastly different platforms. MOST people who want the 5V Blackwing are after the big sedan with a 650+ HP supercharged V8 and the...

    And just to throw it out there... since you are looking at auto cars. If you are really interested in a Mustang... I would likely try to find a GT Premium with Performance Package. Probably save 10k over a Dark Horse. MSRP between a GT premium vs. Dark Horse premium is 19k bucks... For a...

    Ford dealers are fucking useless. If they are not a Ford Performance dealer, my understanding is they can not offer the FPR800(I think thats what its called on the Mustang) package. So that should be an easy question to get an answer on from said dealer... "are you a Ford Performance dealer?"...

    You mention above about making a deal on a CT4V black wing, but earlier you were talking about a CT5V blackwing... Twin turbo 6 vs. supercharged LT motor is not in the same category... If I was interested in a twin turbo 6 car, I would probably gravitate into a M3 or M3 Comp... I think the...

    When did I mention anything about modding anything or what I thought of it??? I said "they are fat fucking pigs of cars" which they are... MAYBE a coupe is lighter than a vert, dont know, never looked up the weight of them. But an M4 Comp vert was like 4200 or 4400lbs... thats a lot for a 2...

    When we bought the Mustang my wife had one criteria(well 2 I guess): convertible and 4 seats. There is not much that checks those boxes anymore. Mustang... BMW has a few options but they are $$$$$$ Mercedes has an option or two, but again crazy money. Porsche 911 Cabriolet Mini Cooper And...

    pure garbage for 160k IMO. Its a GT with a blower and some other odds and ends... You could get a darkhorse for 75k-ish, add a 10k blower, 5k for forged wheels of your choosing, 5k for an MCS coilover suspension and still have 60k in your pocket.

    the guy I responded to is not the OP... I believe the OP has tracked and raced cars for years and years... its not what hes looking for.
