    13.73@101mph

    Nice. Hearing about stock or near stock 2005+'s running 13's always makes me happy in the pants. =) Did you get a tune with the CAI?

    Colors & Pictures

    Well heck, if we get to vote, I say Redfire with plain Dark Charcoal interior. Also, if you're interested in stripes, black stands out surprisingly well against the Redfire. Redfire definitely isn't Ferrari or fire engine red. It's more muted than that, deeper.

    05 rwhp...anyone know?

    Manufacturers quote HP/torque at the crank. There's usually around 15% loss (roughly) by the time you get to the wheels, which is what these dynos measure.

    New Pic Of My 70 Inspired Redfire Mach 1 Painted Hood.

    Wow, that's one of the nicer exterior modified 2005+ I've seen. When you get a chance, can you take a couple more pics? If I can make a request, I'd like to see the hood from straigt on, standing right in front of the car!

    Nod, bad news all around. And now we have the Japanese full-size truck competitors.

    Updates on K&N Aircharger experiences?

    Yeah man, I know. =/ I'm just so hesitant to mess with the stock tune and have something go wrong. No one still running the K&N Aircharger with stock tune?

    Updates on K&N Aircharger experiences?

    I've read a few responses on here where people are running K&N Aircharger kits with FACTORY tune and no other mods, other than some with axle-backs. Most of these were older posts, so I'm looking for updates. Anyone running K&N with factory tune have any problems, comments, good results...

    Ford Racing

    Here's the warranty info (basically, none on parts) from FRPP itself: http://www.fordracingparts.com/announcements/2006_Warranty_And_Use_Information.pdf Some dealerships WILL install aftermarket parts from FRPP. I had my 2000 GT's gears and exhaust done at the dealership, because they...

    2nd Gear Downshift Missing/Backfire

    Too many posts about this for Ford not to have heard about it. People have to have taken their cars in for dealer work... If Ford has a tech support email address on their site, I'll try sending them the link or cutting/pasting the text, see if they respond.

    Frame Breaking Problem?

    Yeah, check out the warranty link info at the bottom of the Stage 3 page. Performance parts carry no warranty. Also, same thing the manufacturers always say: Adding performance parts doesn't void the warranty by itself, but does for any damage caused by the addition of these parts. So, you...

    Frame Breaking Problem?

    If he's honestly getting the stage three, you'll need a blower on the GT. Or, a @#@% expensive custom turbo kit on a V6. Either way, forced induction is an expensive step to take. SRT-4's are no joke right off the showroom floor. Best bang for the buck you can get, just so you don't plan...

    2nd Gear Downshift Missing/Backfire

    Wish I knew. =/ It's like the hesitation/bucking sensation people talk about in this linked thread, but not nearly as bad as some of them report. I'll keep my eyes open for a TSB. http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=35694

    Frame Breaking Problem?

    A few mods and your V6 Stang could take his Prowler, if it's stock. :cheers:

    Frame Breaking Problem?

    Err... When was the last time you've heard of a modern car having frame twisting/breaking problems? Sounds like something to worry about, though. Better check the Ford web site for recalls! :rolleyes:

    K&N - Stock filter replacement?

    Guhhh! $50 for Ford's paper filter? K&N sounds fine to me.

    K&N - Stock filter replacement?

    While I'm add it, does anyone know if their Aircharger kit (claimed 15HP peak gain per their dyno...) requires a retune to avoid running lean or setting off the check engine light?

    K&N - Stock filter replacement?

    Does K&N make a drop-in filter to replace the stock paper one? If so, know how much $$? I'm not expecting any power gains (or losses, I'd hope). But it'd be nice to not have to pay $15 every 10K miles or so to replace the paper deal. Also, I remember reading a while back that oil, or...

    GM Announces 30,000 Job Cuts, 9 Plant Closures

    Brutal. Even after cuts, for GM retirees, it's like Social Security bankruptcy looming for all of us, but sooner and two times over. http://www.mlive.com/newsflash/michigan/index.ssf?/base/news-29/113265114180420.***&storylist=newsmichigan...
