It will be "weird" for us who went to Paragon a lot, calling the trails by different names.
Looking forward to Rattler, rock faces off coal road, "play area" (with higher speed dirt hills) again.......... :)
Yes, pretty much it. This was the last run ever. Feb 3/4, 2007

Hi Henry,
Thank you for asking.
We initially intended to open the area to ATV riding this year, but ran into some major obstacles along the way.
The most...
I get it. Big tires rule in the sloppy east coast envr when you either can't pick your line (mostly due to trees in the way) or you do pick it and promptly slide right off it from moss, wet leaves, or even the guy who just did that line, left 1" of greasy mud all over what was the preferred...
If doing this much work, Is it possible to go to a virtual scrub radius, lower dual balljoint setup, or does that only work with "strut" susp? (obviously would have to ditch lower A-arm)
@ only 22% reduction @ portals, I agree. My mogs are 2.13 (with 3.54 diff gear), so it's ballpark "100%' difference between axles and tire (obviously I'm very limited on top speed).
They also use a double cardan for steering axle, which I've never broke @ 6200 lb and 43 stickies. I've always...
Had less overall problems on my first new car, 86 Capri 5.0, than any new Ford in the past 10 years I've gotten (3 Stangs, 3 Escapes, 2 Fusions, and an F250).
Did not read all 10 pages of this, but up until Covid, dealers in NE at least, mostly used Galves for trade in values. They are closer to auction price and lower than the 'blue book" web sites.
They always used that number when I asked, especially on vehicles that were just run of the mill...
Understood, but think the "std" version stripes would be a nice, more subtle package. Even the "full" Chromatic free wheelin stripes (you've shown), were much more subtle than the new 6G package (which kind of looks like what came on some of the pickups, with neither roof or hood stripes).
If the Ecoboosts (and turbos in general) are so great out of the hole, with the torque converter supposedly making up for any deficiency, why do you have to brake boost turbos to get the best performance?
Easy answer is that off boost, the ecoboosts are total slugs. So yes, you can multiply...
Easy and "cheap" I agree with. What is your "expensive" and "hard to do" plan to equal the reliability, packaging, and low end torque of a Godz or larger LS? The true answer is, you can't. Once you add forced induction, reliability drops, apples to apples. You can try to add better parts...
Yeah, it's not like anyone took this old "ineffecient" design concept, and swapped it into EVERY vehicle on the planet @ some "stupid" HP levels, for minimal mods........... Oh Wait!!. (you don't know how much I hate you right now, making me "defend" LS swaps). :)
Part throttle (and off idle) LINEAR torque curve.(especially dynamically, on/off throttle). No one ever dynos/datalogs or "shows" that. Your "750 HP" 3.0, is probably going the wrong way in this regard.
