    Roush Lizstick Questions

    There would be no hidden paint because Saleen completely tears down to the shell S281s that they paint in their own custom colors. Now thats what they currently do, I dont know if thats always been common practice or not.

    S197 Wheels and front Brakes on a Fox?

    I am, but I figured if there was any insight or if someone else had tried it before and had some issues that i could get a heads up. this is not a priority on my Fox however. I am having rear end issues (feels like a ball rolling back and forth in a box) and fuel/electrical problems...

    S197 Wheels and front Brakes on a Fox?

    why wouldnt S197 brakes work? and why would you need to have a disc conversion in the rear to use the new wheels? the drums should have no problem clearing as long as its a 5 lug hub. I dont see why making a bracket to adapt the 07 calipers to the fox spindles...

    Check out this CAI I made....

    I agree 100%, that is a good way to make bad things happen in a hurry. You will run super lean if you are post-maf with a dry shot...

    S197 Wheels and front Brakes on a Fox?

    Does anyone know if S197 Front brakes can be put on a Fox? I figure that a bracket is all that would be needed but I havent done any sort of research on it yet. then the use of GT take-off wheels would solve any caliper clearance issue. the mark?VII? rotors are what I would like to use or if...

    turbo vs supercharger discussion

    Yea, your right, the use of the "infinite" was probably a poor choice. sorry for any confusion.

    turbo vs supercharger discussion

    Im going to throw in a few points here too, as well as agreeing with the fact that Top Fuel wont be going turbo anytime soon. I think this might be of some help... if you add a boost controller to a turbo system you can potentially push infinite boost. now I have never actually seen a boost...

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    Yea, I suppose I am more of a "GO" person than a "SHOW" person. I dont care what name it has on it, if they are the same price i want the one that romps. but each to his own.

    Shelby GT500 vs. Saleen S281E

    Oh yea, one more thing... I have heard on more than one occasion from people that are chassis engineers that when Ford dropped in the 5.4, the goal for handling was to be able to match a stock mustang GT. They didnt do any extensive redesign on the suspension, so with a 5.4 block that adds...

    Roush Saleen Show Irvine pics

    That is 100% false, They have built a few 1000HP S7s and that car is not a 1000HP car. That "maroon" color is also technically called "Merlot". Also, that wing is not $38K, maybe the whole "Competition" package is though. None the less however, that car looks AMAZING with the satin black wheels...
