    How do you turn on fog lights

    I assumed that clicking the lights on high beam, that the fog lights would come on but they don't. I can't find my owners manual, so how do you turn these on?

    The best of the best. CAI + Tune !?

    I don't have either one of these but based upon research and anecdotal evidence, here are my recommendations: CAI: C&L Tune: Bamachips 93 Octane CAIs do make a difference, about a tenth of a second based upon info I have gotten from people who run 2005+ Mustangs at my track. This being...

    Mustang wins JD Power award for excellence

    Ford was the biggest winner in the mass market categories, with five top model segment awards—for the Ford Mustang, Lincoln Mark LT, Lincoln MKZ, Mazda MX-5 Miata and Mercury Milan. “The 2007 IQS results contain some encouraging and positive news for Ford Motor Company,” said Neal Oddes...

    Exhaust sound clips

    LOL. I heard your "50 miles to empty" buzzer come on in that clip.

    Wow....what's with all the Automatics?!?

    From what I have read, Ford says the 0-60 times are the same for the MT and Auto but various car tests show that the Auto is about a tenth or two slower than a MT in the 1/4 mile. This seems to be the case from what I have seen at the track.

    Fast and Furious wannabes

    Funny someone mentions a Dodge Neon. So far, nobody with a fast car wants to challenge me to a drag race on the street. However, it seems like young early 20s girls in cars like a Dodge Neon are the only ones who want to get racey with me.

    Went to the track... what a day.

    It was the weather, trust me. 95-102 degrees? There is no way you could run 13s in that heat and a stock GT is capable of that. Advice for better times? Try again in October when it is cooler.

    This thing sounds insane!!!

    I didn't want an auto either but really liked the remote start feature that was only available on an automatic. And yes, the automatics are no slouch. In the current issue of Car & Driver shows the Shelby GT (manual) did 13.7 seconds in the 1/4 mile in their road test. See...

    will 4.10's rev to fast in a auto?

    +1 If you Supercharge it, go with 3.73s. I am going with 3.73s in the future but my car is a daily driver. I will never add a Supercharger because I kind of despise them because forced-air induction is the only way the Japanese can build a fast car. Non-aspirated all the way baby!

    Sold my Mach and ordered a....

    First off, Carroll Shelby's name is not crap. He is the Enzo Ferrari of the American Sports car scene and respected internationally. When he speaks, everybody listens. I am a friend of his, not a close one, but close enough that he has called my house several times and I have all of his...

    new to the track

    Your 60 foot times are better than anything I have ever done and I have done the 1/4 in 13.682 and also done three 13.7 runs. Your problem is your 1/8 mile times and mph. Most of mine are low 9s and around 80mph. What was the weather like that day? Temp/humidity and barometric pressure.

    Help! Need advice in lowring my 1/4 mile time

    Mickey Thompson Street ETs on the rears on a cool day probably could get you into the 12s alone. I have heard that they cut .4 to .5 of a second off your 1/4 mile time. I am not sure I want the hassle of changing tires on race day all the time.

    Help! Need advice in lowring my 1/4 mile time

    I am kind of scared to use nitro. I have heard people blowing their engines but maybe they were using to high of a shot.
