    aftermarket auto trans (aesthetic)

    Bama was not able to tune the SelectShift. I was disappointed, because the 1-2 shift is really slow, and I thought originally the tune would address this problem. However, they can tune the strength of the shift. I had them set the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts to 100%. It allowed me to chirp my 20s in 3rd.

    You Just Can't Fix Stupid :(

    The guy would be toast only as far as being held responsible. Payment is a whole other story though. He might not have insurance and might not have the means to cough up $15,000 to pay to fix it. His wages could be garnished, but that will take years to collect. Etcetera, etcetera. It sucks...

    Confused

    Certainly you would have 14" rotors; not sure what color calipers for 2011, but probably consistent with 2013: dark gray or black calipers with red "BREMBO" logo. But this assumes you bought it brand new and the car hasn't been taken to a brake shop that replaces caliper sets to change pads...

    You Just Can't Fix Stupid :(

    I feel your pain. I was hit in the back right panel of my 2013 not 1 month ago. It sucks. I hope you get things worked out with your insurance company. Good luck with the repairs.

    Advice On Mods..

    With 3.73s, as far as I understood you would be able to beat, albeit closely, the 2013 Challenger SRT8 much less an R/T (cf. Motor Trend article, Motor Trend video; contra. 2013 SRT8 392 review article). Personally, while I can't do it here in California, I drool over the Steeda CAI and tune...

    white smoke coming out of the exhaust ( 2013 5.0 modded)

    If it is consistent despite warm climate, I would expect something is up. You have a SCT device. Check for any error codes.

    white smoke coming out of the exhaust ( 2013 5.0 modded)

    Sounds expected granted (1) you are specifically referencing cold climate plus cold starts and (2) you have a less restrictive exhaust. On a cold day in California with a cold start I get white exhaust smoke, and I have stock exhaust except the Ford Racing GT500 axle back mufflers. The smoke is...

    Rev Limiter

    I did a street tune with BAMA, no intake manifold upgrade at all, and they adjusted the rev limiter as part of their standard tune. It isn't as high as what you are expecting with the Boss manifold, but they can adjust the rev limiter. You should call them and find out.

    Expired Stock 2013 Gt Axle Back

    $100. I still have them. They are in the GT500 mufflers box. Who needs a replacement set of lightly used stock 3" GT mufflers?

    2012 Fastlane GT

    Supercharger added-value must be determined on a per-dealership basis. The one I went to didn't care about the OEM Saleen Supercharger. They offered me $2k for my Saleen S281sc, which was '99 Mustang GT KBB valuation with 140k miles. It's cool when you own an OEM tuner car; it sucks when you...

    Hopefully buying a '13 this week, have some questions

    Oh, there is no break-in period advised in the manual. I checked thoroughly when I got mine. I drove mine easy for 1000 miles, but from the factory there is no break in period recommended anymore.

    Hopefully buying a '13 this week, have some questions

    Unless you get the track package, it should have 3.31 on manual. The front plate is mounted via two screws straight into the bumper. Removal would leave two holes, but couldn't you fill them and shave it down? I would leave the bracket on and not go through that hassle.

    2012 Fastlane GT

    Even if Fastlane is an OEM tuner, consider this: My '99 Saleen had a difficult time selling back in Spring 2008. The trade-in value at a dealer was no better than $2200, because it was 146,000 miles and they wouldn't recognize it as a Saleen; they would only value it as a Mustang GT, since...

    2012 Fastlane GT

    One point regarding your traction issue: Weather aside, a common mod for these cars is lower (and upper) control arms in the rear to help improve traction. You might want to consider that as an upgrade if the Fastlane tuner didn't already.

    2012 Fastlane GT

    I would be cautious of any price hikes though, which I am assuming is involved. It's not an OEM tuner car. You would have potential problems selling it in the future as it won't be recognized by KBB or NADA Guides as anything but a Mustang GT. You would have to find a buyer who knows the tuner...

    2012 Fastlane GT

    Summer rubber is not really meant for 30-degree F weather. You will slip and slide when it is cold outside. But what is a Fastlane GT? I've never heard of it.

    2010 GT or 2014 V6

    The V6 has a good aftermarket. For me, the torque is the difference. Stock it only has 280 lb-ft. The 2010 GT has 325 lb-ft. Torque aside, I would go with the V6 per the reasons listed by Husky44 and earleys94gt.

    Digital Tuning CAI + Tune

    Too bad it isn't California legal, otherwise I would have it. This is the one I want. Steeda for the win.
