    Drivin stangs in the winter

    Absolutely. It's my only vehicle. I have 300 lbs of sand tubes in the trunk. That seems to help (a little). Just have to allow for extra commute time to work and learn not to worry about the people behind you- (let them wreck if they're in such a hurry). I take it easy with the throttle...

    Went to the track for first time, man do I suck

    Your Mph looks good up top for a 15.1 , I think the problem is in your launch/shifting. It seems after the 1/8th you are picking up speed. With the 4.10's are you shifting into 4th? Here is a similar time with similar conditions of which you can compare: 2001 GT 5 speed Mods: 4.10...

    Power Impressions of 5.0 5sp Vs. 4.6L 5sp

    Again, it also has to do with the powerbands, horsepower and torque. For example, I drive a 5.4l f-250 work vehicle and the torque right off the line (330 ft/lbs crank) feels greater than the 5.0 motor,but the bigger engine (5.4) is rated at something like 225 horsepower and that's where you...

    Power Impressions of 5.0 5sp Vs. 4.6L 5sp

    Same torque roughly 300-302, but 5.0 comes on lower in the rpm range (roughly 1200 rpms difference). I think that it would be safe to say that the 5.0 is better at stoplight to stoplight driving, but the 4.6 will take it in the quarter (stock vs stock). 2 different animals here. I used to own...

    Switching from 3.73's to 4.10's (worth it)

    Yes, they are worth it. I also did the swap from 3.73 to the 4.10. Let me put it to you this way, I should have gone with the 4.10's in the first place. The problem now is that I want 4.30's :)

    Update loose steering

    Yeah, I took it in a while back. They said that the "play" is normal. I think they didn't want to fix it. I didn't push the point. But I know that it is not normal because it did not do that before.

    Update loose steering

    I have the same problem with loose steering on my 01. Left and right, maybe an inch or so. Ford didn't give me an answer to this one, so I'm stumped as well.

    4.10's are in----

    Nice! I agree, gears are the best first mod. 4.10's here as well. No regrets.

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Occasional grind from the 1-2. Slight bump also to the 2-3. 2001 GT. Edit: I have the T-45, still have those problems ^
