  1. I’m back! C7, S550, 1LE and now S650

    A year and a half into owning the car and I’ve upgraded to 285/30/20 front and 305/30/20 Conti Extreme DWS tires. Installed a Steeda Stop the Hop street starter kit and a Steeda H-pipe. Almost 20k very reliable miles and still able to break the tires loose in 3rd gear on the highway but grip...
  2. Ticking Sound - Driving Me Crazy

    I’ve taken my car in to the dealer twice to diagnose this ticking issue. They can’t figure it out. It only happens when it’s warm outside, is inconsistent, can happen at steady speeds or while going over bumps, and almost never happens when I’m on the brakes. It is definitely coming from the...
  3. Post Whipple Install at Ford any issues regrets warranty issues?

    No complaints here. My daily driver, completely street-able stage 1 Whipple non-PP car is more than plenty of fun. She’s taken me on 1,500 mile road trips and shocked the heck out of more than a few high-hp cars. Never gotten her above 130 mph and don’t intend to. I don’t beat on the car but I...
  4. Whipple on a non pp model

    Drive it with common sense and you are good. My car doesn’t have the PP and I’ve logged 16,000 supercharged miles. I do have the Brembo’s, I think that’s important but will let others chime in. I also installed a Stop the Hop kit and went with wider wheels and tires. Traction is still an issue.
  5. Worth Upgrading from 19s to 20s? Ride Comfort Feedback Wanted

    Dang - y’all running 35 series on a 20ā€ rim and I’m running 30!
  6. Whipple Calibration On Hold

    Mine goes in next week for an annoying random clicking sound coming from the rear drivers side. I’m going to ask them if a new calibration is available and see what they say. I almost don’t want them messing with it, the car has performed great so far.
  7. Whipple Calibration On Hold

    There is no telling what it could be. I’m 15k miles into my car with plenty of fun and a few road trips. Car performs wonderfully. I’ve gotten the ā€œrotten eggā€ smell only once after a pull last year but never again. I’m eager to see what the hold up is and what the resolution will be. I’m...
  8. Black Car On What Color Rims?

    I like to see the red Brembos. Plus I absolutely HATE cleaning complex pattern wheels šŸ˜‚
  9. Black Car On What Color Rims?

    I went with gunmetal wheels because I didn’t want the car to look washed out black. I will probably swap to black emblems, but I really like to be able to see the rims so am not a fan of black wheels.
  10. Let’s talk Throttle Controller

    I had a leftover Soler controller from my old S550. I installed it this weekend but got no power to the unit. I guess it bit the dust sometime over the past few years. I will be ordering a new one. I’ve had their units on all of my cars since they first came out with the C7 unit.
  11. How many miles on your S650 Whipple/Roush car?

    14,489 so far. Stage 1 Whipple from the day it was delivered to me. No issues whatsoever. I’ve taken it on 3 - 1000 mile road trips in just over a year. Performs great. The only complaint is the 10-speed sometimes hunts for the right gear. I can live with that!
  12. Whipple Calibration On Hold

    Wow. I wonder what the hold is for. I’ve had my Whipple for over a year and over 14k without any problems.
  13. What Was Your Father's Old Car?

    His ā€˜68 Chevelle SS. He still has it!
  14. Texas WTB: Spoiler Delete Panel (Shadow Black)

    Anybody have a spoiler delete panel they want to part with? I love my PP wing, but there’s something nice about a wingless car.
  15. How’s your gas mileage?

    I keep laughing as I look at my cluster reading 14.4 mpg. Outstanding mileage for a supercharged car!
  16. I still don't know what tire i can fit on this

    I have 285/30 up front and 305/30 out back on 20x10 and 20x11 wheels. I’m running Conti Pro Contact DWS06 all around. I’m happy with the setup although I do wish the contact patch on the Contis was slightly wider. Still get great traction. A huge upgrade from the Goodyear’s the car came with.
  17. Why did you choose an automatic over a manual.

    I really didn’t think the MT-82 would last very long behind the stage 1 Whipple. My S550 was M6 and I enjoyed it. But central Texas traffic with a clutch was brutal. So far so good, compared to the A10 in the Camaro….well, the Ford version has its charms.
  18. Shadow Black

    Shadow Black definitely has what looks like a little bit of purple flake in the paint, so blue pearl would be correct. It’s only visible up close, at certain angles, and when the car is swirl free and clean…which is almost never.
  19. Three weeks after purchase with 170 miles on the odometer, She is Supercharged!

    Mine is a daily driven. Aside from the 15mpg I see on average - you don’t know it’s supercharged until you get on it. There’s no mistaking it at that point. Crazy HP on the street is perfect. 1st gear is useless, I’m waiting on my new wheels to arrive so that I can put some good tires out...
  20. GT Gas Guzzler Tax. Why some cars have it and some don't ?

    I’m thoroughly confused about this one. My car was a job 1 automatic without start/stop and the window sticker has the line for the gas guzzler tax, but no charge.
