One of the most underrated cars ever.

@Leander311 5 лет назад

Yes, but this really only became true the last few years after RR Racing cracked the ECU and released a tune, showing the mill's true potential of ~500hp "FBO". MAJOR props to Rafi and his team for that. Makes it absolutely nuts to think the Mustang GT's engine is just now getting similar technology in its 5.0L some TEN model years later.

@802Garage 5 лет назад

Awesome job on this video man. I agree with you on basically every point. Everyone should do this. It is therapeutic. The drives are essential to why we're car people. The bond with the vehicle, the views, the endurance, the mental engagement and relaxation. Long drives are what let you really feel cars in their entirety and be yourself. Kind of funny that I'll be releasing my first road trip video later today. I was gone about 40 days longer and down about 3.2L and 300+ HP the whole trip, but still! Congrats on the trophy win! That Rolls Royce theory was amazing. The people are often one of the best parts of a trip too, of course. P.S. I also have yet to find a true flyover state. There is always something to surprise you.
