W speed rating is 168 MPH

a very good approximation of the limited top speed would be to look at the tire speed rating, the top speed will never exceed what the tires installed from the factory are rated for.

IMHO yes, looking at the picture and the amount of metal flake in it

Most agencies are getting away from high sped pursuits unless the person is suspected of an egregious crime. There is way too much liability and chance of someone not involved being injured. There is a story developing in Boston MA over the last few months where a patrol unit was told to break...

OK O am back to chime in some more silver / silver with flake is just a real hard color to blend in panel It is very translucent, if you have ever painted 3 stage it is a lot like that, you have to watch how many coats as it will darken the final color, a bad blend in silver results in a dark...

Spacers are for people who were not smart enough to get the backspacing and offset correct when they chose their wheels or just bought crappy wheels that looked good but were not properly sized. There was a time where if you had spacers or adapters you could not pass tech inspection at the...

P.S. Fords position statement on painting does not allow for blending clear, it is against their repair procedure. Full clear taken to the break points or in your case full clear with the bumper off the car and torn down to the cover. The shop should charge that as "overhaul time" and replace...

wow, with that much flake trying to do a blend in panel with full clear, and have it come out right is going to challenge the best painter. If I were doing it, knowing that Silvers are one of the hardest colors to match ( note the bumper covers are usually not a perfect match to the car) and...

the biggest advantage to having an X plan number from say Mustang Club of America (costs $35 for membership, you have to wait 90 days to get a X plan number) isn't the savings on the car, it really isn't a lot of money and if you know what the dealer cost of options and packages are toy can...

The owner of a car doing their own work can do what they want There is this Federal law going back to 1966 that makes DISABLING a safety system a crime. Car comes in with bad sensors, customer refuses to repair, not my issue but I put it on the work order and make the owner initial it. You...

If they were not the OEM encoded to the car sensors, you have to encode any new sensors to the car using a specific procedure and a Ford TPMS-19 initialization tool or cheapo amazon equivalent No mechanic in his right mind is putting regular valve stems in where a TPMS sensor is called for, the...

the first and only one I had done 11 months ago at 1000 miles was 89 dollars Being a tech myself I asked if they put 10 quarts of oil in the crankcase, the service writer said yes and I checked it before driving away. I can't buy 10 quarts of oil, a filter, pay disposal costs, shop supplies...

$800 for 20 HP and some torque from the aftermarket tunes that were talked about today. One of the guys quoted in a Hot Rod piece said " Lund and Cook were quick to point out that there isn’t a lot to be gained in naturally aspirated trim when running pump gasoline. They told us Ford delivers...

Motorcraft filters or WIX Oil? Any one that meets the spec and viscosity Ford dictates to keep the warranty intact, because if you lunch a motor you can be assured they are going to be sending a sample to Blackstone before dropping 29K of engine into your car

If you want one, go FP and have the dealer do it. We have laid out all the reasons not to, there are a bunch of guys that have done it and love the added power. Have at it, let us know how it works out for you after 6 months or when you try to sell it

I went thru all the pros and cons last year and decided not to pull the trigger But if you go Ford Performance there is SOME but not a lot of warranty, and the 810HP at the crank and maybe about 730 ish give or take at the tires is where they decided the limits of reliability were right around...

doesn't it say 5.0 on the plenum cover Oh ya BTW thanks for sending me down the rabbit hole, as I am currently fighting the urge to order this

In Toyota it is either the mirror ( my 16 Rav4 and 2022 Highlander) or in a switch panel ( my 13 Highlander) If there is power near the mirror either for the self dimming or it is there for an option on a higher trim level swapping out the mirror is cheap and easy. Go look around for what a...

Where I work in a shop, I get my Ford stuff for 25% off usually, and since there is no Sales tax in NH I save there too, although I have a tax exempt number in MA because everything is sold to the shop and installed in NH, I gave up my FL tax resale because the amount of paperwork was brutal and...

The painted plenum cover is a nice touch IMHO As for the rest, not something that I would do, but if it is what makes you happy go for it. By the time someone is peering under your hood, they should already know what the car is, but the plenum cover draws your eye to the center of the engine...
