Yeah, it's wild. Hard to believe, given that less than 44% of college graduates from last year have work and that economists are describing the newest generation as "lost" due to widespread unemployment and debt crises.

Xbox, recycled 80's clothes, cans of Monster, ZR1. Makes sense.

44% of college students that can't find a job have no work experience and aren't willing to accept full time jobs at a rate they deserve for having no work experience.

As for approving 18 year olds ...

Ford doesn't seem too confident in their new car haha

Ford brought out its 650-horsepower 2013 Shelby GT 500, a car the automaker says can top 200 mph. While it has the same squared-off looks of other Mustangs, it's all the work under the sheetmetal that is really impressive.
And to hear its engine rumble is automotive heaven.
The 2013 Camaro ZL1 convertible is equally as impressive, though it creates only 580 horsepower.
That didn't discourage Joe Ewanick, vice president of GM's marketing, from throwing a challenge at Ford.
"We should take a Camaro, Ford brings a Mustang, we each pick our drivers, and see who has the best time on the Nuremberg Ring," Ewanick said, referring to the legendary race track in Germany.
Jim Farley, who heads Ford's global marketing, was not swayed by the challenge (though it did appear he was biting his tongue slightly).
"I wish we could," he said, after hearing about Ewanick's challenge. "Who wouldn't want to do that?"

He knows his team would lose, possibly badly.

Fun stuff either way.
I think theres something everyones forgetting. These aren't directly from the factory cars, Shelby is building them with FoMoCo backing in this, it's essentially an aftermarket build car.

GM builds the ZR1, and ZL1 direct from the factory to the show room floor. Give Hennessey ( spell check) a little time with the new ZL1, and it'll be back on top ( though I usually don't condone to his work ethics)

I'm still waiting for GM to produce cars that need to come out the back door, and/or special RPO codes only a handful-o-people know.......but a man can only wish.

Never gunna happen. Where is the marketing/social media impact of that? It used to be cool to do that back in the day, but unless you are showing it off on Facebook, no a **** will be given.

With that said...FE4 suspension could prove to be a good option.


Farley is related to Chris Farley, and he is also the guy that came out in a book about Ford saying "**** GM" and continued to rant about how he hates them always squeeking out of tight spots unscathed. Farley is like many long-time Ford guys, they hate GM.
Don't for one second think that Mustang team didn't pour tons of engineering hours into making sure this trumped the ZL1 and ZR1 in hp numbers just for the sake of saying WE GOT MORE BITCHES!
