Mr. Jones Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's the mid-70's starting all over again... :lolguy: Except instead of ending up with 175HP Smogged V8's, we end up with small displacement motors making more than the outgoing models.

Mowgli1647545497 Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Then EcoBoost a fucking V8. (ford) Dont be a pussy. Save this quote for when Ford gets them homologated and "pussies" Ferrari's - and everyone else's - clock at Le-mans. (again) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 Besides the LeMans rules, I read an article about the EPA changes and they pretty much said V8's are going away (at least at FORD) in order to meet regulations. I hope it's not true or something changes in the government before that happens but that's what I read. That has been the rumor for some time that the new Zora (mid-engine Vette) would have a V6-TT also so we'll wait and see. It's the mid-70's starting all over again... Yep. Not just at Ford.

coltboostin Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 It's the mid-70's starting all over again... We are going from a horsepower war, to an emissions war. Progress I suppose.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trouble Maker Posted January 16, 2015 Report Share Posted January 16, 2015 We are going from a horsepower war, to an emissions war. Progress I suppose.... Or you could say it's a tech war. He who can get to the highest specific power with everything else the best (response, driveability, FE, etc.) wins! I like that spin a lot more, and that is progress IMHO.

wagner Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 Saw the car in person and pictures do not do it justice. Very powerful car to see in person. Who cares if it has a boosted v6? Everything that is affordable will have one soon enough so you might as well accept this fact now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 No. Agree'd. It sounds like a GTR with the dumps open. V8>This shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 At the end of the day it's all about building the best race car, winning trophies, and selling some customer cars to make that possible...which was the mission of the original car as well.

excell Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 In person it looked better than I expected. I wasn't convinced, but Ford also had a classic GT and the 2000's GT nearby and after seeing all three together I was satisfied. I only wish the front end/headlights were a little more classic GT'ish, a touch too Ferrari for my taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excell Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 P.S. The GT completely slapped the NSX's dick in. On opening day there were few people at the NSX, the GT was mobbed. Could barely get near it. 'MERICA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3NN3TT Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I was there yesterday and it was the same thing, which is actually kind of sad because I think the NSX looks great and should perform really well. Acura has been shooting blanks for so many years now, they have a lot of catching up to do. Plus, they have been trotting out this same NSX concept for like 3 years now with little to no perceptible changes, so it's pretty old news. Not to mention they won't reveal any powertrain specs...

It wasn't a bad looking car until oh, boy, that fake front grille. My jaw about hit the floor when it came around with a big plastic fake front end.

I agree on gas mileage for a LM car, but funny enough i was at the 24 last year, and the best sounding car by far was still the freakin Ferrari. Turbo LM cars have a very odd note. Should do well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeffrey Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Would have been more impressive debut if: 1. There were airplanes in the hanger; 2. Hexagons were involved; and 3. People were pushing it around. Obviously, this was not a legit debut. Ford should have hired DWiggs as a professional debut consultant for this. A fail from all aspects.
