    Question about dyno and shift points

    What does the torque curve look like? Since your HP peak is at 6064, your torque is starting to fall off and running it out to 6600 may not work best. As to getting into the 12's, hobboattacker has done it on street tires with basic bolt-ons, so you should be able to as long as you are on a...

    Looking at a 2007 window sticker, what option is GT Upfitters Package?????????

    The cost is actually about $9000. The're are 2 mandatory options on the Shelby GT, 1 is the Upfitters option which is $2k and the other is the Shelby GT option which is $7k. You could replicate this car for less, so it comes down to whether or not the "correct" VIN is worth the extra $$$ to...

    Giugiaro Mustang At The Detroit Auto Show

    Good point. I was focusing in on the lack of body seams and totally forgot about the roof/rear window area was 1 large piece of glass. The lock aparantly is as functional as the rear gas filler.

    Looking at a 2007 window sticker, what option is GT Upfitters Package?????????

    I posted this exact question 2 weeks ago and never got a firm answer when I saw it listed on a Shelby GT window sticker. The best thing I can figure out is that this option package is specific to either the Shelby GT alone or any Mustang that is shipped directly from the factory to an...

    2009 Camaro convertible debuts at NAIAS

    Just to ad my $.02, I saw it in person yesterday. It looks pretty sweet and much more appealing than the silver coupe from last year. The big question is how much will it cost? Can GM keep it within $1000-1500 of the 'Stang or will it be $3000-4000 more when comparing similar vehicles (GT vs...

    Giugiaro Mustang At The Detroit Auto Show

    There are no seams on the rear of the car. The only way for you to gain access is if the glass was the hatch ala Corvette as you mentioned above. .

    Pinging

    Here are my thoughts. I've seen (and I'm sure a lot of you have as well) dyno tests showing that 89 is good for 3-5 HP over 87 and that anything over 89 doesn't do anything unless you have a tune. What does this tell us? IMHO, it means that our motors do like 89 and that while Ford says 87 is...

    Tuning question for experts

    Since the GT500 is S/Ced, I could see that kind of a bump as being possible and here's why I think so. Ford has probably got a fairly conservative tune in there to allow for bad gas, less than ideal weather (high temps and humidity) and so on and so forth plus they want to make sure the car...

    This should be your first Mod.

    Are you talking about the HPS or HP Plus? http://www.hawkperformance.com/parts/search.php?year=2006&make=FORD&model=MUSTANG&show_street=yes&Submit=Find+Parts+%3E%3E

    This should be your first Mod.

    You should be able to get it over there. The first time I saw a brake setup that needed this special tool, it was on a Volkswagen and the first Ford I saw like this was the Contour (same as a mid 90s Mondeo). As long as you have an auto parts store over there that rents tools, they should have...

    Ford sells mustang rights to TOYOTA

    No. They are struggling for sure, but what hardly gets reported is that Ford is not in debt. They do have lots of debt, but the assets are greater than the debt owed. That's where you get into trouble. The equivalant would be to someone who owns a home with a mortgage. They have debt (gotta...

    GT upfitters package

    What exactly is this option? To me, it looks like about $1400 in options that the customer gets charged $2140 for. I noticed it on the window sticker of a Shelby GT (not H or 500) on Ebay last night...

    Car dyno'd

    What was your A/F? How about the temp and humidity during the test? Did the dyno apply a correction factor for that or is the printout "raw"? Also, I'm guessing that you can probably find a few more ponies with a custom tune. No matter what, your 1/4 times are pretty good, so I wouldn't...

    Ford Interceptor concept

    I love it. Can't wait to see it in person at NAIAS (I'll be there Sun the 14th).

    Check Out My Stang in This Months MM&FF Magazine!

    Cool. Not a bad deal at all. Can you tell much of a difference from the seat of the pants? Have you done some additional tuning to find even more HP like MM&FF thinks you can?

    2008 or 2010?

    From what I can tell, the '08 will/may see a slight freshening of the sheeetmetal (think 98 vs 99) and '10 being a new platform. We should be getting a lot more info on the '08 in the next 2 weeks with the Detroit show press days starting Jan 8th or 9th. I'll be at the show on the 14th to see...

    2008 bringing us the Boss & the Bullitt

    I have to disagree with your stance. IMHO there would be nothing worse than to create an appearance packge and give it the Boss name. There are plenty of other names you can go with for a dress up package, such as what Ford did this year with the California Special. Keep the Boss name meaning...

    i cant help it

    Let me ask you guys who think the 4.6 has a lot of mechanical noise this question. Are you comparing it to other vehicles based on cabin noise as you are driving down the road? Or are you comparing it to another vehicle while they are sitting side by side in a parking lot with the hoods up...

    Foose 20's

    The added mass of a larger and heavier wheel shows up more in suspension action and braking than it does in acceleration. On a street driven vehicle, it's probably not enough to notice, but if you were to go autocrossing or participate in a track day, then you would notice it if you could do...
