    2015 Lincoln MKR = Mustang Sister Car?

    1965 Leaf Spring Removal

    You should rent a heavy-duty cutter.

    2001 Cobra R wing to a 1999 Cobra

    That is an aftermarket wing not a OOR.

    Original Boss302 vs. 2012 V6?

    The problem is that Laguna Seca has changed the course several times. It was a 1.9 mile track in 1970 , and it is now a 2.238 mile track. The track record for the 2.238-mile course is 1:07.722 seconds in a Penske CART car. It's fair to say an open-wheel CART car is faster than a 1970 Boss...

    Original Boss302 vs. 2012 V6?

    I'd still rather have a 1969/1970 Boss 302 over a 2012 V6. :shrug: In other news, a 2013 Mustang GT is faster than a 2003 Mustang GT. ;)

    BLOWN UP 2011 5.0

    I agree, but Mike did the work on the car. Mike did remind him that there would no longer be a warranty on the car? According to the owner, Mike said: If the quote is true, maybe they will pull the head off and take a look? "White" smoke usually means a head gasket blew (water got in the...

    BLOWN UP 2011 5.0

    You should take it to Mike and have him install a new engine. He voided your warranty.

    who here road races

    You also sit around most of the day. ;) 12 runs X 1 min. = 12 minutes of excitement. It looks boring to me. I'd recommend OT (open track). You go to a road racing track and get ~four 25 minute sessions each day. If you use street tires, stock pads, and drive the car "casually"; you can...

    2012 mustang 5.0

    How did you recalibrate the speedo/odometer for the 3:73's? I also ordered the cloth seats in the standard package (300A). I ordered two options: My only mod so far was a new rear window: :shrug: That tree will soon be firewood. :p

    Building the first 2011 cobra R hood!

    You would be better off buying a hood for a 2005-2011 Mustang and modifying it to your taste. The same vendors make a 2000 Cobra R hood, but it would require an expert body man to make it fit the S197. Good luck.

    Buy or Build? Which is wiser?

    Buy a car that some else has already spent money and sweat on. You'll still be doing plenty of work on it.

    Brake option for the 5.0

    Here is the 2010 Track Pac suspension: I can't find any official specifics on the exact numbers of the retune, but my (former) 2010 GT Tack Pac was much more stiff than the standard 2010 GT. The 2011 Brembo brake car is stiffer than the non-Brembo 2011 GT. Another thing. The Pirelli...

    Dave, I have never seen a 2011 with those wheels. What package is that?

    Bought a New Challenger - Sorry Ford, Rant Included

    I had already admitted that sales have increased from last year. I was referring to total sales (not just in Canada). I posted the J.D. Power tech. Are they stupid? Can you post and link something with better information? A Super Moderator should be able to defend his opinions. :D Or not...
