    Is Posible 5.4 3v Into A S197 ???

    I think it would physically fit since the GT500 has the 5.4 in it. Can I ask why though? I am assuming you blew up the 4.6 and have a free 5.4? It is probably more work than it is worth. ModularFords is a good forum for the details on engine swaps like that.

    2011 Gt Need A 3rd Shift To 60?

    The 3.73 gears will let you accelerate faster, I am not sure about the third shift to 60 though. What is so magic about 60? The only time a 0-60 time is important is in a magazine. To find out about the shift, you can take your current speed at redline in second, divide it by 3.73 and multiply...

    $80,000 Mustang?

    I don't think there are many taxes that he thinks are a bad idea.

    $80,000 Mustang?

    It is not a tax on imported goods only, it is a tax that is collected by the government (not here yet) every time something gains value through a production process. So as a raw material is processed into something more valuable, like iron ore into steel, then steel into sheet metal, then sheet...

    New Shoes!

    I think black, but I don't think the blue would look bad either, as long as they match. I blacked out the fake gas cap on the back of my car with matte black.

    $80,000 Mustang?

    The exchange rate is basically 1 to 1 so I don't know if they have some weird taxes or not. I know Chevy gets the equivalent of almost $200k for the ZR1 in Britain, don't know how much of that is taxes. Even at $80k it does not have too much performance competition though.

    Skip shift question...possibility?

    It is not a revolutionary feature, GM did it for a long time in the previous Gen Camaro (F-Body cars). It helps boost the EPA rating to raise the CAFE number.

    time for new tires '11 CS

    I thought you had the summer PZero, but if you had a TW rating of 400 then they are probably the PZero Nero All Seasons. I would have thought you would have gotten more mileage out of those tires than that. I don't think you are going get a lot of life out of the Hankook V12s, I had the Nitto...

    time for new tires '11 CS

    I would take a look at the Continental Extreme ContactDW as well, they are more expensive but are supposed to be a great tire. The Hankooks are a good tire for the money as well, but you probably aren't going to get a lot of miles out of them. You got a lot of miles on the Pirellis, so I would...

    Suspension advice for an 08 GT?

    I wouldn't recommend the Roush setup unless they have updated the rear shocks. Mine leaked at about 20k miles, it is a common problem. A good setup would be Koni STR.T dampers (they are currently 20% off) and Steeda Sport springs. I have Koni Sports (aka Yellows) and they are a huge...

    Ozzy cousin of mustang - Falcon supercharged

    Could you take a few pictures of the interior when you get a chance. It is too bad that Ford can't give Lincoln some version of that chassis to compete with the Caddy CTS or the Europeans. I can't see spending an extra $10k for a dressed up Fusion or Taurus.

    Rear tires worn out too early on 2011 GT

    We get it, you like American tires. I don't disagree with you, but you don't have to bring it up three times whenever a tire thread comes up. Until the new G:2 Goodyears came out, they didn't have a tire to compete with the top tires on the market. My girlfriend had Goodyear Wranglers on her...

    Pursuit of Sound - your thoughts??

    The GT will sound better, and has more aftermarket support. You can't really make a V6 sound like a V8. They both have similar horsepower, but the torque advantage of the GT is significant. Go test drive both and see which one you like better.

    Autocross setup questions...

    To get an idea of the speeds you are likely to see, the link in my signature up above is one of my autocross runs. Don't be afraid to have an instructor ride with you, or ride with them; they are available at the Porsche Club of America events that I go to.

    Autocross setup questions...

    You do not need to a supercharger for autocross, nor do you need to remove the speed limiter. You will never go that fast in autocross, I have been doing it for three years and have never gone much over 60. The course is small but I don't think you will have any issues with the limiter. I...

    Octane boosters

    Do not use them, they do not do anything good. The best outcome is that you just waste money, the instructions for installing my supercharger specifically said not to use them.

    Brake upgrade 2007 GT

    I have the HPS pads on my car, I am happy with them. They don't make noise on my car or real bad brake dust. I put a set on my girlfriends Jeep Liberty and they make a lot of noise and dust. I think I am going to have to switch them to ceramics before this summer when she drives with the...

    Custom exotic wood gear shift knob.

    I agree with TT5.0, I would put some kind of metal insert in there. Your coffee machine is probably treated a little more delicately that a shift knob. Over time I think it will loosen up. I like the idea, kind of the like knob on the Carrera GT. I remember having a hard time finding the...
