The Mustang doesn't offer a V6 anymore. A great V8, and a turbo 4.

And it's loose and sloppy. I've driven a 2018 GT350 back to back with my 2018 F87 several times, and it's pretty shocking how much less tight it is.

38 here and have always said this. I made my husband watch it (he had never seen it) a few months ago when I convinced him it was time for me to get back to my roots and get a manual.
It’s the very reason I even got into Blur Song 2 way back then and precisely why I will have it on a playlist if I ever get the chance to actually pick up the car I am desperately waiting on allocation for.

Guy Richie, Clive Owen, Madonna....

RE Remember these?

my go to BMW video, love the humor in addition to the acceleration! I like that BMW (and some of the stars in their commercials) can laugh at themselves. Best new video I have seen since the "Star"!

Exactly. 1080p was the start of the “hi-def”, post-VHS era, and most folks will hold on to it for it decades

It’s nigh impossible to stall an F8x or G8x manual lol. Your foot has to basically slip off the clutch. There is an anti-stall feature that’s pretty effective. Hardest manual to stall I’ve ever driven.

There is a reason why so many call the 992 a Panamera Coupe. It is far from small.

180″ L x 74″ W x 55″ H M2
178-180″ L x 73-75″ W x 50-53″ H 992 911 dimensions
I would say they are both bigger than they need to be
