I believe their numbers are relative to their categories. So a 9.0 in an all season is not the same as a 9.0 on a summer max performance and those are not the same as R compound tires.

I'll echo the sentiments above, $62k is a good deal. The only time I've seen the new prices lower was when Chevy was trying to get rid of the 2018's earlier this year (that's how I got mine for $13k...

I don't doubt that non-CARB tunes are illegal and prohibited in CA, but if all channels show readiness, how will they ever know? There is no "OEM tune flag" in the ECU. Even manufactures have to use...

I haven't used it on my convertible yet, but gummi pflege worked wonders on my other car. Once a year is enough to keep the door and sunroof seals quiet and well conditioned.

I'd also add that the only way the bog really matters is if you are planning to do lots of drag racing, and if you are doing lots of drag racing, the 1LE package is wasted money. It's for road...

It has at least 4x the winglets!!! Plus all those "cooling vents" (actually non-functional, solid black plastic). How could you not want one?

Sounds like a smart salesman. Gets you to put marine 89 octane in your car, suddenly you're in the market for a new car! Genius.

Ford had no incentive to run the GT500 for lap times. They will sell every one, with huge dealer mark ups. If it was faster at a track than the ZL1, they don't gain anything; it's way more expensive...
