yeah, Ford has pretty nearly maxxed out the abilities of the naturally aspirated Coyote V8. it seems like any additional power from here is going to cost a lot for little. they have high compression, a cylinder head with high volumetric efficiency, DOHC with intake and exhaust VVT, port and...
probably because it has no way to actively cool the diff fluid. the moment it goes hard around a track, it's gonna go wrench light and set P183E - differential oil over temp. im surprised Shelby, with their performance vehicle history, didnt add that to such a powerful vehicle
still, based on performance alone, i dont know who can justify 160k for a "performance mustang" that doesnt even have the diff cooler from the Dark Horse. you can fit 315s under the stock fenders no issue, and 325s if you dont mind the smallest amount of rubbing and poke. the hood is aluminum...
honestly, this looks pretty underwhelming. sure, you'll know its a shelby, but its gonna be on par or beat by a supercharged GT that is 1/3 of the price and has more customization options
since i now have a 3D printer and some CAD knowledge, i was thinking about making a bespoke widebody/fender flare kit. it would probably be replacement fenders with bolt on flares for the front bumper, rear bumper, and quarter panel, with a replacement side skirt. not sure whether to print it in...
given what i've seen people say about the R888R and the A7, i think im going to go with the Hoosier A7s. it sounds like the main thing about the R888Rs is they hook up really well but are just alright everywhere else, where the A7s have countless reviews praising their autocross performance...
i trust the guys at the dealer i work at, plus i never leave my car's side if it's in the shop and am highly hesitant to leave it anywhere that is not where i am for any amount of time. basically, i'm one of the most difficult types customers to deal with, "waiter or no work"
privacy in the modern age is a myth. your car spies on you. your phone spies on you. your computer spies on you. your house spies on you. other people's phones spy on you. honestly, i think at this point it may be too late to push back on it, companies have been inching into people's lives with...
they're not quite banned, but they are banned from competitions instead of the casual weekend events according to the SCCA
Cup 2s are not offered in a size that will appropriately fit my rear wheels, unfortunately
thank you for all this info. looks like i have to choose between Toyo Proxes...
this happens to me too every now and then. just my luck that i dont notice until i start driving, then when i have the menu up waiting for a red to fix it, it's green lights all the way
the exhaust is by Valved Exhausts
i think 20s would be too big and you would have worse rubbing issues than i do
the sunglasses holder mod changes out the part of the dash near the driver's door for the one from the convertible that has the sunglasses holder drawer
just realized i forgot to post a picture of the installed system. here it is
little note for anyone else who gets one of these cat-back systems, you will notice a sort of burning oil type smell for the first 250 or so miles. mine did that, but does not anymore
something i should mention is that if anyone here finds their hose unclipped, either do not clip it back on before going to the dealer, or if you do, let the dealer know that you clipped it back on. Ford is saying that vehicles with the hose unclipped need it replaced, and by clipping it back on...
it still does it and it's louder, especially the pops when engine braking to low RPMs in 2nd or 1st. i know i did a full cat-back system, but i imagine it still translates to resonator deletes pretty well
yesterday i did an Autocross event, and after seeing what it did to my tires which i also daily, i realized i need to find track tires sooner than later. i originally wanted to go with the Kumho V720 ACRs because the rears are 355 width and they are supposedly amazing. they're also banned from...
