OT: Mustang, Camero, Challenger, or something else?

My Dad had a 72 Corvette. Last of the chrome bumpers front and back. Checkerboard side vent. 4 speed. 350 / 350. I never did get to drive it because it went away during the Gas crisis.

My favorite was my numbers matching 66 corvette coupe. Have to say I messed up selling it 35 years ago. Just bought a 280Z in really great shape for being 38 years old. It may be my next favorite.

'72 Chevelle SS 396 convertible. If I had one today, it would have to be the Challenger Hellcat. Everyone needs 707 ponies under the hood.

Anybody in the know is looking for a rolled CTS-V. That power train is awesomeness. 550+ HP. Drop that **** into an A-body and haul ***.

Lucid is dreaming, while Tesla is selling cars

Tesla is now the little sis to the Lucid Air.

Tesla is so far ahead in car sales (over 180,000 sold), autonomous neural network, supercharger network, name recognition of the company / Elon Musk, battery production Gigafactories, etc., it is not even close. Lucid hopes to employ 2,000 by 2022. Really?!?!?
Even the big boys will have a hard time catching Tesla in the EV market. I would sure as hell not bet on a startup that has been in the design phase for the past 9 years. Tesla will probably sell 80,000 this year. Next year, Model 3 is introduced and it already has over 400,000 pre-orders.

For all it's hype, Tesla...

...still relies on YOUR tax dollars to keep it afloat. Not saying it's not the eventual future, or not a smart investment (I don't know), but let's not get ahead of ourselves with EVs.

The federal tax credit ($7,500) is phased out after 200,000 EVs are sold (most likely in 2017). MY tax dollars are a nonfactor. Also, Tesla has already paid back its federal loan from the Dept. of Energy 10 years early. When the oil companies decline their subsidies, I'll listen to the complaints about MY tax dollars "keeping [Tesla] afloat". BTW, Tesla will smoke any of the stock cars listed above 0-60 or the 1/4 mile. Smoke 'em.

I'd like to see a quarter mile between the two. From what I could gather in GT, the Mustang's hardware is better in the drag race, but the Focus's launch control software is significantly better. Or maybe Clarkson is better than Hammond at starts, or maybe the show was just scripted that way.


As a side note. The mustang looks ten times better than the Focus RS.

Im sorry, but I've worked hard and made enough money to not be forced to drive a Ford Focus. I don't care if it is a road going rally car. I'd much rather drive a Taurus SHO than a Focus RS.

Back in the day, a Dodge Neon RT could outrun a Mustang GT too. You driving that too?
