  1. 1969 Mercury Cougar Southern California

    PM me a reasonable offer. I do need a space in my garage. You might end up reliving that beautiful memory ;).
  2. 1969 Mercury Cougar Southern California

    Pardon me. Not a Mustang, but the first generation Cougar is technically a dressed up Mustang :cheers: https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/5177967394.html
  3. Yet another "which one" thread

    Assuming non premium prefered and $6k difference doesn't matter. Given the same packages: performance and Recaro only, 6 manual of course, would you go with Mustang Ecoboost or GT for 2 days a week 20 miles commute and going to canyon roads? And why? Interested in what you think. You can also...
  4. 2015 GT vs. Lexus RC F

    BTW, I ended up with an '08 Z06 with only 11k miles, comes with a set of brand new OEM tires, too. It is practically still a new car. It was impossible to resist! Although I an a Ford fan, I must admit this is a great car.
  5. 2015 GT vs. Lexus RC F

    I m glad that we can have an inteligent conversation here. I was invited as a select few by Lexus USA for a focus group of the F brand earlier this year (think of it as SVT invite you to be in a focus group). I met Mr. Yaguchi, the RCF's chief engineer and some other key engineers. Another cool...
  6. 2015 GT vs. Lexus RC F

    It doesn't only turn the nannies off. It also lock the torque converter 100%. The price is hard much more compared to S550. If I sound like a Toyota fan. Well, Ford and Toyota are my 2 favorite brands these days (see my signature for our Ford cars). I ve been having doubts about getting an...
  7. 2015 GT vs. Lexus RC F

    Did you drive the RCF in "expert mode"? It transforms the car from Dr Jekyll to Mr Hyde, the same way that Fiesta ST must be driven in expert mode (not only sport mode) with all electronics off (pressing the traction control for about 10 secs. i was also meh on rcf in regular and even Sport +...
  8. 2015 GT vs. Lexus RC F

    Sorry folks, as much as I like S550 GT.... Before I start, I think S550 GT PP 6M Recaro is a better driver's car than '10 GT 500 having driven them back to back, except for the acceleration when driven hard btw. That means a real driving not just a straight line driving .... RCF's chassis is...
  9. 2015 GT PP vs. 2011 GT500 w/SVT PP

    Ressurecting an old thread here. Just from driving perspective (no value or collectability factors included), I just drove a '15 GT PP 6m Recaro and '10 Shelby GT500 back to back. I feel the S550 as a better car except for the acceleration. Call me crazy.
  10. 500ish crank hp?

    I forgot to mention that I want to stay with 91 octane California gas. Thanks
  11. 500ish crank hp?

    I posted on the FI forum. It seems all the kits make great power but have traction or other issues. I m planning to get a basic 6mt GT with performance and recaro packages, then install Ford Racing handling package. I would like to ask the collective wisdom here if I can do bolt ons approach...
  12. Traction problems?

    550hp at the crank. More than that is quite too much for street use. Now, can FR/Roush or any other FI kits can be tuned with a less agressive pulley to get the power I want, with the rational that it will be a more balanced street car? Thanks again for the great inputs. For an unrelated side...
  13. Traction problems?

    I think I dont necessarily need all the power. 550hp with a great chassis is more than enough for me. Can this be done without forced imduction?
  14. Traction problems?

    This FR package http://fordperformanceracingparts.com/m/Part.asp?p=24996 I want more of a gt350 than a gt500 car and going this route since gt350 is unobtainable
  15. Traction problems?

    Pardon me for asking this and I am asking it in the most polite way. It seems all of you, regardles of the kit you use, are having unresolved traction problems (that render the extra power unusable). My plan is: -Get a basic GT 6mt with performance package and recaro seats -Get Ford Racing...
  16. Stripped Down "Poverty Specs"

    I still can't believe how hard it is to find a PP car. Dealers loaded up their GTs with options but rarely PP, leave alone Recaros
  17. Stripped Down "Poverty Specs"

    Quoting my niece "OMG lolz" I left the thread unread for one might and it has become a thread about weight and how to pick up a woman? Let me make it easy for you. Unless you are a hard core tracker, you won't feel the 160 lbs weight difference because likely you wont push into the car's...
  18. Stripped Down "Poverty Specs"

    Thanks for explaining
  19. Stripped Down "Poverty Specs"

    You mean pressing the traction control to sport or completely off modes, just like in Fiesta ST?
  20. Stripped Down "Poverty Specs"

    My question now does selectable drive mode matters for a car the way i configure it. Coz i have to go premium to get that. I want to spec my car as performance orirnted since it will be just a toy
