This one for me! I know it's kinda boring but It's gonna look good dirty and scratched.

That's one of the 'forbidden' BroncoKong photos. Same as the top one

Require, no. You CAN run them on regular but you'll get significantly reduced power if you do. Shouldn't damage anything though

Yeah, it seems far too late in the program to halt it completely. All the R&D is done and paid for, there's no reason not to produce what they have. What *could* be affected is future high performance version or special editions where the R&D isn't finished. Same for a second generation or...

Based on what we've seen so far, this is probably the closest render to what the actual 2 door dimensions will be: Which works perfect for me, I wanted something with <100" wheelbase.

I feel like given the difference between the little square and the Bronco sport that we've seen, it's going to end up being something like the 'Glacier Grey' that I got my corvette wrapped in. In direct light it's quite blue, out of it it's almost black.

I think the Area51 is going to end up being somewhat similar to the Glacier Grey that my corvette is wrapped. In direct light it's very blue, but out of it it looks almost black:

I'm definitely expecting a Rubicon competitor at launch. It won't be a Raptor. Maybe Tremor, FX4, maybe some other name. But it'll probably have the lockers, sway bar disconnects, what have you. Then I expect that Ford will give us another step even above what a Rubicon gets, again at launch...

More motorcycles than cars for me. In order of purchase: 1991 Chevrolet S10 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 500 1984 Honda CM450E 1995 Kawasaki KLR650 1989 Yamaha FZR400R 1997 Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution 2004 Honda VFR800R 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 2014 Honda CRF250 2008 Kawasaki ZX-6R 2009 Chevrolet...

Oh, I'm super interested in a Raptor 2 door. But we have zero info whatsoever about it so I can't really say much at this point. I wouldn't be surprised if we get the 'GT' equivalent and maybe the 'GT350' at launch just to really blow Jeep's doors off, but they keep the 'GT500' waiting in the...

Hopefully this is just cancellation of the in person gatherings and not a pushback of the whole reveal. If they are going to be waiting until this whole mess blows over for that we're looking at months at least.

Yes, your average passenger car or older performance car will be slower with traction/stability control on. Tires generate more grip when they are juust slipping slightly (6 to 10 degrees of slip angle for racing tires, somewhat less for street tires). However, for modern cars this is also...

No, it's true. Only in this last generation of cars over the last 5-10 years basically, but the modern torque converter autos like the ZF 8 speed and the GM/Ford 10 speed are faster than a manual trans, in a straight line OR around a track with corners. They shift really really quick and have...

Ah, gotcha. Yeah I'd heard they are working on a cheap option. Seems as though it'll be 4 door only though, more like a Bronco Sport competitor. The renders you've posted are wild guesses as to styling, doesn't seem like there's any actual info out there other than that they're working on one...

Isn't that just the concept art for the new Defender? That's already been revealed, looks like this:

*Raises hand* ...ok, the track in question will be rally-x. But still. And I want a manual regardless because I'm illogical and think with my heart sometimes. I'm sure the 10 speed auto would be strictly better in outright performance, but I'm willing to take the handicap for more fun.

No, the point of saying 'autos are faster' is because it's true. If you go into the showroom and have the choice between an identical car with an auto and a manual, the car with the auto will be faster. If you then take all the same performance enhancing measures on both, the auto car will still...

I prefer manuals, but this is some weird logic you have going here. -At the very highest levels, autos (or sequential gearboxes depending on discipline) are faster than traditional manual transmissions -The fastest auto is faster than the fastest manual -For basically any given new car today...

Honest question because I don't know: Does Ford have a manual transmission that can handle the GT500's torque output right now? Because if not, the development dollars for that would be a reason why. Regardless if I was choosing I'd take the GT350 over the 500. I'll take the lighter car with...

I'll fight you about the 3 speed in your 94 being better, but there's no doubt that modern automatic transmissions are objectively better than a manual. Wanting a manual transmission is a heart decision, not a head decision, it's not logical. That said, it doesn't hurt anyone to have the option...
