German cars can’t be imported with rear spoilers or alloy wheels, those performance parts are just too dangerous, but once they’re imported BMW can pay a shop to add them on before being sold and that’s perfectly ok.

Italian cars can’t be imported directly and must sit in a musty English garage for 20 years before being allowed in.

2 door roadsters are sporty so to keep people safe we won’t allow them to have over 200 hp, but for whatever reason we won’t consider a 5 door hatch a sports car and they can have whatever engine you feel like.

Automatic transmission shift gears too fast so they can’t have wheel widths larger than 8”, hand brake levers, aftermarket gauges, be painted the color red, or have rear parachutes because we all know how much people just love to put parachutes on their cars. Manual transmission cars can do whatever they want.

If you started off with a 1 gear transmission adding a 2nd gear would almost certainly give you a higher top end speed, but you hit the wall pretty quick once you get into overdrive gears.

That’s funny because on the Mustang side of things people generally rave about the 10R80 shifting improvements with the Ford Performance tunes.

If I had to get a truck it would take a lot to convince me not to buy a F-150 with a coyote under the hood due to how impressed I’ve been by the coyote in my mustang.

And just like the mustang, if 400 HP ever gets a bit too dull and you need some spice in your life here’s a blower kit from Ford Performance with a 50 state legal CARB sticker. Nothing major, just a modest 75% power bump.

Suicide door for the driver because they use the same panel for both sides of the “car”, I love it.
