Been hoping for a decent vented aluminum hood to come on to the market. You aware of any? Only ones I've found have been carbon fiber.
And I hear you on the radiator, although I plan on mine being a daily driver 99% of the time, and on average only doing 1 or 2 track days per year. A bigger...
I second this, 100%. This is exactly why not as a mustang expert but as a mechanical engineer I plan on beefing up as much of mine as possible BEFORE the boost.
For some examples, on drivetrain/transmission I plan to get the G-Force Outlaw Half Shafts which will essentially replace a "fuse"...
Putting 800+ horsepower through a 255mm contact patch is essentially like trying to run a marathon in dress shoes.
A 255mm tire on an 8.5-inch wheel will likely struggle to find traction, even with a premium compound. Most supercharged builds move to at least a 10-inch or 11-inch rear wheel to...
My favorites for my GT vert are:
1) the Steeda H-pipe which totally "woke up" the exhaust without making it too loud, and
2) the Steeda "chassis suite" of products that completely transformed the suspension feel and steering. Similar to the "dtop the hop" kits for non-verts. This was the big...
Anything priced above a GT or DH + a whipple makes no sense.
They are all marketed as track oriented, and there are MUCH better track oriented options out there in the $100K range than a front-engine, RWD, 4,000 lb car no matter how many parts from the bin are added.
Correct me if I'm wrong again, but doesn't the predator come with forged pistons, forged connecting rods, and a forged-steel cross-plane crank, all engineered to handle massive cylinder pressures? Seems the predator with its additional headroom could operate at 760–800 hp all day long.
I...
My mistake then. Thank you for correcting me. Out of curiosity, if it has the 5.2, how is the supercharger only bringing it up to 8XX total horsepower?

I’m aware of the GT500’s cooling. It was a $100k+ engineering feat with a front-end that was 50% opening. But comparing a factory-integrated SVT cooling package to a DHSC (which by my understanding is basically a dealer-installed blower on a standard cooling stack, but correct me if I'm...
The DH SC is still a front-engine pony car carrying significant weight. A 911 GT3 RS has 200 fewer horses but beats higher-powered cars at the Nurburgring because its power-to-weight ratio and active aero allow it to carry 20-30 km/h more speed through corners.
750+ hp generates immense heat...
I have a BMW 3-series too and it would absolutely smoke my GT in a street race.
It often comes down to who can get off the line without spinning tires, and all the German "competitors" with AWD and launch control have a massive advantage on an unprepped street surface.
An Audi RS3 and any BMW...
It's not your rims causing the numb steering. Mine has 19's and has the same issue. I added a bunch of chassis upgrades like vertical links, IRS support system, K-Brace, and jacking rails and it definitely makes the front and rear feel more unified and like it "sways" less while turning, but I...
Out of curiosity what is the best way to launch one?
In almost all of these videos, it seems the mustang loses on launch to cars with better tech or AWD. When supercharged though, it catches up before the end of 1/4 mile.
So unless the problem is between the steering wheel and the seat, the...

That color looks a lot better than I was expecting! Thought the orange would be too mush, but the black convertible top and all the black trim balance it out nicely. No wonder Shelby chose thet color to showcase their new GT350 convertibles.
Shame Ford nerfed so many features (and added the...
