Nothing better than seeing these cars crashed

Only thing better would be for driver's head to fly off

 

That's an idiot for sure. exhibition of speed and reckless driving would be his ticket I'm sure.

Shelby GT500 and JHBrown do indeed get a pass - 

Meth heads do not drive $55,000 cars. ;)
 

 

new gt's aren't cheap...the one I would want hits 42 sticker.  hardly meth head pricing.  If I went with the one I really wanted, it would be approaching 65k

Someone has been eyeing the gt350r ;)

 

Mine was 42k new.

If I were to do one again, it has to be turbo or supercharged.  Can't go any other way...even if I have to add it in myself.

The Roush SC is factory warrantied if you do it through Ford.

there are a few options which are also warrantied through their independent factories.

By no means am I new to these cars or their performance history or the aftermarket parts that are offered.  my screen name has more to do with me driving and modifying a supercharged ford 302 pushrod engine than it does with that book case ;)

 

OK - Gonna try and make amends here.

I saw this GT350 today and thought it looked cool, and sounded great.

I tried to get a better picture because it did look different that a normal Mustang but I didnt want him to think I was wanting to race - would have been 1 smoked Q50

@T3X4Sand I have had this whole Mustang discussion many times before. I also find it awkward. I believe he gives me a pass since I own a Shelby GT500, other than that, he hates normal Mustangs with a passion. One of his reasons is that when he was growing up, most trailer trash people had Mustangs. Correct me if I'm wrong @T3X4S. One of my arguments were that I live in a middle class/upper middle class area, and there is an Engineer, and a Lawyer just on my street alone, that drive Mustangs. Pull out of my cul-de-sac, and you see many more on the other blocks. Silly guy! :D

ELEANOR WANNABE! :p

rwd can be forgiving provided you aren't an idiot behind the wheel.  you break loose and start going a direction you don't want to, let go of the gas, don't keep it going...you can and will hurt someone and wreck. 

Not sure about US Fords, but US Chevy engines can be upgraded with 32 Valve Quad Cam Kits

(So my US PSN friend keeps telling me, wouldn't that be a cheaper alternative than going full turbo? <If such kits exist>?)

Gone in 60 Seconds...

Which one, the original or remake?

 

First one was a '71, second was a '67. The '67 was  Shelby GT500. Not sure of the original.

How do you like the Q50?  Test drove a '16 Q50 4 cylinder last week ... which seemed nice (though underpowered because of the 4) ...the ride and all the gizmos were nice.  Thinking about getting a '16 Q50 sport (400hp) when it becomes more readily available.  Seems to be a good "bang for the buck"

Nope I WAS WRONG

I just checked because you said it was a 71.. (Hmmm, turns out it wasn't a Mach 1 neither according to wiki... man when I'm wrong I'm REALLY wrong) :p

Well that all depends. Yes full turbo kits exist. 

 

If the engine does not come with quad cams, probably thinking dual overhead cams (two cams per head), the head would have to be changed to accept the dual overhead. You can purchase performance cams, but honestly adding a turbo kit can give a stock motor 50% more horsepower. Kind of hard to do that with just changing the cams. A 300 hp motor would go up to 450 or more with a turbo, changing cams may gain 25hp or 325hp. 

 

For what it is worth to get to 300 rwhp out of a 302 pushing 215 hp at the crank or 185 to the wheels, new heads, cam, and intake manifold needed to be added or 1 supercharger kit. Add heads, cam, and intake (with a ton of fuel mods, a custom tune, and opening up the motor a bit, going 30 over, creating a 306) you could have around 575 to 600 rwhp...around 400 without the super charger. 

 

Naturally aspartated without heavy modification (read more than just cams) won't give you the same power gains as a turbo kit. It just can't flow the same amount of air into the motor.

Yeah, you would have gotten spanked. Hell, the regular GT S550 Mustangs would have gotten you. As a matter of fact, and depending on which Q50 you own, the turbo 4 cylinder S550 Mustang would have given you a run for your money.:D

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
