I wouldn't put too much faith in those numbers.

They got about the same results when they tested the GTO (15MPG), but it's not a real world number. My GTO got almost exactly the same mileage as my 135i gets on the same commute, and about 1-2MPG worse on a road trip. Either car will run on regular fuel, but neither will make rated power on less than 91.

The new Mustang looks great and that's not just a personal opinion. I guess some people can find fault on Adrianna Lima as well but they are exceptions.

You just keep spewing brand whore BS every time you post.

I'm actually not that big of a fan of BMW as a company, I'm more of a Porsche guy myself but don't feel like taking on a 911 turbo swapped Boxster S at this point, so found the next best thing for the time being... Maybe later when I have more free time.

The Gt500 is almost a completely different car compared to the regular Rustangs. The Live axle in the gt500 does make it much less competent than a modern rear end though. The setup they are running is 1960's technology. When you sit in a mustang, it just feels like a cheap car, and the interior design is hideous imho...

The 911 is a flawed platform executed to perfection, and is quite frankly an inferior platform when compared to the Boxster. When Porsche decides to catch up and make the unibodies out of aluminum instead of steel they can get away with having an outrageous sized sports car because people can't get their fat asses in a gym, but until then they should have their car the size of the 90's 911 turbos.

If they put that into a good looking rwd sports car that would be awesome machine

cool, I wonder if the limit of 400 is because of fueling or turbos....

They tested it and it ran the 1/4 in the 13's with a 4000lb Lincon

Wow, imagine that in a 3000lb sports car... That would be crazy
