    This Four, Or That Four,...

    Dang, you're not that much older than me, but you sure are crankier. :D I'm about a month shy of 48, but my momma used cloth diapers. My 68 had a C4. I started powershifting at 14 in my mom's 68... Bug.

    This Four, Or That Four,...

    Not power shifting to keep in the boost? Then why not keep the decrepit old I6 and auto? Mike is getting pretty old, you know...

    2011 Convertible Top Problem

    Haven't had that problem, but I would recommend you contact Ford Customer Service. Unless they provided more details justifying how it was "clearly 'owner damage'", I'd be pressing them to fix it. I'm assuming it has somehow pinched in the top frame (based on your description that the...

    Newbie Question

    Ross, If your ? is about the post above, I believe he's referencing the fact that one person on here and one on another forum reported an issue with leaks. My son and I both have verts, and have not had any problems. I'm only aware of two complaints total.

    Which Suspension To Choose ?

    I'm going to disagree a little. While they are not necessarily incompatible, there is an advantage to getting components that were designed to work together. Your suspension is a system, not just a collection of individual parts. While your solution might work, and your statement "you don't have...

    2013 Gt Modifications Help?

    you're definitely going to want suspension work at that hp level, or you'll never get it to the ground, and you won't enjoy driving it much. BMR seems to be the brand of choice for UCA/LCA swap, adjustable panhard, appropriate brackets, etc. Either Eibach or FRPP springs. I would stay away from...

    94-95 Gt As A Daily Driver?

    really? Because someone says don't do it, you're now an expert on their driving ability? Is it possible? Yes. Is it advisable? Not if you have a better option. And winter driving isn't just about poor traction. I've been to PA, and my grandparents lived in SW NY. I've seen what winter driving...

    Tune vs Warranty after reflash

    wI would suspect they can identify the different ECM. To my knowledge, no one has tried this. That said--why go to that much trouble trying to deceive Ford? Here's the deal: They can't "VOID" a warranty just because you made a mod, even if it's a tune. They can refuse a warranty claim...

    2005 Gt Rear Differential Whine

    First--I would recommend not using the dealer for maintenance and repairs once the car is out of warranty. They typically charge quite a bit more than other shops, and you aren't necessarily getting any benefit for that, other than a blue oval on the invoice. For your driveline work, I'd...

    Remember The Time?

    Yeah, but if it's true, which I still doubt, I would be out to string up the @$shat that told him to do it.

    Pics have to wait a while, from me anyway. Parts are in MO, car and I are in AK until end of the month. Link: revanracing.com

    94-95 Gt As A Daily Driver?

    Summer DD'ed my 95 vert in AK for 4 years. Lots of rain, and I ran Nitto DRs. I could have easily driven my car here in the winter with snow tires, saw lots of SN 95s DD'ed here on the winter. Just need to know your car and it's limits. My lowered car would have had to wait until roads were...

    What Is All Needed To Build A 800 Horsepower '13 5.0?

    Step one: get done with basic and AIT, or whatever your branch calls it, and get to your first duty station. Step two: do a lot of research, and not barracks hot rodder research. 98% of that is bs. Step three: unless your goal is to build a dyno hero, figure out what you really want your...

    Which Suspension To Choose ?

    Same one you have. I am keeping the factory sway bars. Not sure if they're different from your stock ones or not, but almost no difference between mine and any aftermarket bars. Not worth switching bars.

    Which Suspension To Choose ?

    Another plug for Van. This kit is waiting for me in the lower 48 (didn't want to pay AK shipping, when I'm moving at end of month) so although I can't personally endorse it, it is the setup of choice for the new GT500s by a wide margin, and has not had a single bad review that I have seen.

    3 Years With A S197 5.0

    Good Lord, yes! I've got over 7k on my 2013! I bought it in September, and it was in storage for six months until all the snow melted. Why would you deny yourself the pleasure of enjoying such an awesome car?
