Aaron Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Front end looks better with the bumper bar painted body color with stripes that someone photoshopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 What a time to be alive...even if you cant shift it :fa: I'm just a peasant with an 11 second manual but I take solace in knowing it will be 5+ years before the target-cr-market can afford to not race it.

ShowHBK Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I thought car designers were going to start moving away from the giant audi like grill. Leave it to Ford to be about 20 years late It looks WAY better than the God awful Lexus "I left my grill in the microwave to long" design scheme. Functional or not, you know you fucked up when your grill looks like a 7th grade student just discovered the "Warp" filter in Photoshop.

SMH I dunno, at least they are trying something different, and it does look cool from certain angles. I still think it's better than Mercedes' phone it in "lets put a light on it" approach: "Hey rolf, have you finished making changes to the mercedes grille yet?" "Ja Walter, I expanded it 3.4cm while keeping it's original shape, also I put little squares in it" "I dunno Rolf, it may not be interesting or special enough to make dumb americans pay premium for what is a regular car here in germany. The lexus grille looks like it could eat at one of their buffets" "I know, Let's make the emblem light up" "wunderbar!!!!, but make it an option, those dumkoff's will pay for anything bling".

Aaron Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 That article was cute in a very mustang specific way but not good for much else. Who's arguing dual clutches are slower? Who's arguing a dual clutch shouldn't be an option? He's also wrong about the original vw dsg, it is a true dual clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 The fact they went dct makes it a distinct possibility that it'll be faster on track, and they already stated it's a 10 second car so it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty impressive. The 1LE is no joke. I get from a driver standpoint most of us would prefer a true manual but man, we're living in a time where factory cars are performing amazingly well and the companies are starting to challenge each other once again. What a time to be alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a time to be alive. This is the first article I have read that predicts it will be faster than the ZL1 1LE on a track - most try to distance the GT500 from that car saying that is not really what this car is meant for. That would be really impressive if it is though as it clearly will be faster in the quarter mile.

rfields Posted January 22, 2019 Report Share Posted January 22, 2019 If you could make the DCT work, that whole drivetrain bolts directly into the frame of our new sports car and would bring final curb weight to around 2300 pounds....... certainly interesting to think about......

caseyctsv Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Chevy will now offer the ZL1 1LE with the 10 speed auto. It was over .5 second faster than the manual on GMs Milford proving grounds. You had to see this one coming...
