    Drivetrain Short Throw Shifter !

    Do some more research and clue in on MGW. I'm exceptionally happy with mine and I did a bunch of research - finally settled on MGW and I'm glad I did. However, I have heard very good things about the Barton/bracket combo as well. I just liked the fact that MGW engineered a COMPLETE solution to...

    Rear Suspension Question??

    1) Steeda offers Boss-specific lowering springs. 2) Relocation brackets typically help with straight line grip. From the research I have done, they don't necessarily improve handling in autocross or road racing applications. You can always replace your control arms and then determine if you...

    My 2013 With And Without 2010 Scoop.. Thoughts?

    The hood looks....different....without the louvers but I really don't like the scoop. It just looks like you "stuck" it on there. Maybe if it were body-colored...with a bright orange or red screen in front, THAT would look cool! What are the details of the '74 Roadrunner in the background?

    2013 mustang gt,question about my sct 3 tuner i installed

    Short answer: YES. They're will be a "flag" on the ECU stating a deviation from stock tuning. Research "#8 blown cylinder" and the subsequent TSB issued from Ford in regard to warranty claims with aftermarket tunes. From what I understand, they really have to go digging to find it, but the...

    2013 GT - Where to shift?

    I believe the factory rev limiter is set at 6800 rpms. Seems as though the Steeda tune bumps that a bit but shifting at that point seems to be a pretty good spot to shoot for.

    Custom exotic wood gear shift knob.

    Agreed. I think the wood would look out of place. A nice leather, solid black resin, or some sort of aluminum to at least complement the interior would be nicer. To me it would look like someone just stuck a piece of wood on the shifter...with no rhyme nor reason. I had a myrtle wood shift...

    Can a hard shift activate Stability control?

    Sounds like you found second gear. The symptoms you describe result from that. I haven't had a violent reaction like that from hitting the rev limiter nor engaging traction control. I've been driving for a while, myself...but that doesn't change the fact that I have performed the shift that...

    Roush Exhaust Drone Noise

    Exactly my experience with them. Only time they're loud is when I'm stepping on it. No drone at all.

    New to Stangs' and the Forum! I Have A Few Questions...

    PD blowers replace the entire intake. They also have throttle bodies with a different shape (oval). The ones I listed are tried and true for Mustangs. You really can't go wrong with any of them. Some are more expensive, some kits come with more, some require more work and some make different...

    New to Stangs' and the Forum! I Have A Few Questions...

    1) Positive displacement blowers will replace the intake and throttle body. Centrifugal blowers will not. You need to decide which one you are going with. If going PD, don't bother with the Boss intake nor larger throttle body. If going centrifugal, the intake and T/B would be able to be used...

    Problem with American Muscle hood struts!!!!

    X2 I liked the engineering and installation of Redline Hoodstruts MUCH better than any other companies. I have them on my '92 and got the stainless ones for my 2011. Well worth it!

    Motor Trend Boss 302 LS vs. Camaro ZL1

    Well said. Anyone catch Top Gear (American) episode last night where the Stig took a Roush Stage III Mustang around the track as well as a Boss 302? The Boss took it by about 0.7 seconds (IIRC)...even being outpowered by the Roush (my brother put money on the Roush, I put money on the Boss ;)...

    Motor Trend Boss 302 LS vs. Camaro ZL1

    Sure it did. So did having more power than the Boss as well as having a more technologically advanced suspension (and apparently, very well sorted), and having excellent balance with the corresponding control that that results in: "The constantly variable damping rates make the Camaro feel as...

    Motor Trend Boss 302 LS vs. Camaro ZL1

    Well said! That Camaro is truly impressive (and it should be for $54k+). Nice to see Chevy really putting some thought and effort into making the Camaro an excellent, all-around performer. Hopefully the 2013 GT500 will live up to its expectations! That will be a battle!
