Not anymore, I guess the current F-650 and F-750 count? They still use V10 engine with a 6-speed automatic Also the i6 can be only found in a Ram Cummins. Other than that there are no i6's for trucks today. --- Post updated --- Ahem, you are forgetting about the Triton V10 offered in Ford's F-250 and above in the early 2000's
That sucks, However if they are using a dual clutch system then that can be forgiven I guess. Since it would be faster than a manual. If not it is certainly a negative point about the car in my eyes.
I'll have to disagree with you. Even though I'm a part of the manual transmission preservation society myself, I still think that modern day automatic transmissions can do just fine in sporty cars. The 8-speed ZF in the C7 Corvette is a wonder, and it's a true automatic, not a dual-clutch. Autos have come a long way since the 90s. I mean, sure, there's still a more drastic power loss through them then a manual or even a dual-clutch, but I say again, they're still modern so it isn't as drastic. It's not like we still live in the days of the GM 700r4 that took 25% of the engine's power.
As far as I am aware the power loss from an auto these days is pretty much negligible. My reasoning is because if I was to buy a car based on wanting it to be fun I want to have the option to have a fun "manual" experience, which both good quality paddle shifters and gear sticks can do in their own separate ways. While they are great I wouldn't take an auto on a commuter car never mind a sporty one.
I found a Cimarron for sale in the Philippines for 60,000 pesos, equivalent to 900-1,000 USD. https://m.olx.ph/item/cadillac-cimmaron-ID7EMu2.html?h=d7e34b067b
All a Cimmaron is, is a Cavalier with some leather in it. As for V10 trucks, Dodge was first, bringing their 488 V10 out in 94 with the launch of the new bodystyle. I've had two, and I'd happily buy another, only real complaint was that they sound awful, but that's part of the nature of a V10. They lasted up until 03, meaning 2003 was the only year you could get a V10 in the newer bodystyle. The SRT whatever might have stayed a bit longer, but you can't really call it a "truck". . Ford brought theirs out in 97, I've never owned a V10 Ford, but I did drive one at work for a while, in a 2000 4x4 F-450 with a dump bed. It wasn't a terrible engine power wise, but it didn't always run, it suffered from most of the same problems all the modular Ford motors did, losing coil packs, cracked exhaust manifolds, cracked heads, timing problems. They were available until 2010 in 3/4 and one ton trucks, and they're still available in the bigger trucks.(F-450-F-750)
Ford, we need to have a talk. Seriously, now, this isn't funny, you need to look at yourselves in the mirror. The Mustang II most have forgotten about, we forgave the non-turbo 4 cylinder Fox. We understand the SN 95 was a mistake, and that you had to recycle the 4.6 Modular for S197, but this is unacceptable. Ford, what the fuck is this? Is this really the best you could do for the facelifted 2018 S550 Mustang? I mean really, how did you design this? Did you just take a 2015 S550 and stick it in the oven so it would melt *just a bit* and then decided to put it on sale? I think someone is passed their car design prime.
It looks like a Chinese 124 Abarth imo with a stretched grill to 'fit' it on the rest of the car. Ford shitland pony I would have made the lights bigger instead of smaller to resemble the older ones. But no. Ford, you fu***** up
I don't think the smaller lights are an issue (outside of visibility by other cars). The bonnet however is kinda boring, perhaps some more defined edges and flair would have been nice.
If I knew a place I probably would. That exact spot featured in the video is actually only a couple hour's drive from here. For those interested, here is the Gmaps link, facing off the top of the jump.
