I'm 72 and I can still heel/toe like when I was 20, even with a right ankle I busted a few years back.

F-150 Super Crew, 4X4, 2.7 twin turbo motor. Awesome truck, you can haul good sized trailer, carry a pile of stuff in the box, seat 6 in comfort and it's sharp enough looking to take to the symphony.

2023 Mach I - black, 6 speed, cloth Recaros, 305/30/19s on 11" Apex rims. Track day car.

I had dasilva do a bunch of work on my track day car, no issues and decent prices for both parts and labour.

Might help if you said where you are, SW Ont covers a lot of ground. Just sayin'.

PT Barnum was right, there is one born every minute I guess.

It's the no lift shift thing, if you track your car it causes all kinds of issues, chiefly stuttering on shifts. If you try that no lift shift on a road course be careful, you're going to get more wheelspin on shifts than you ever thought possible. Even 4-5 at well over 100 mph you'll find...

PP1 is well worth it just for the 6 piston Brembos and the Torsen. I tracked mine stock to baseline it before I started making it into a dedicated track car and the thing was very good on track, even with the heavy stock wheels and junk Pirelli tires it was quite driveable with no ugly habits...

Doesn't matter shit to me, I have no plans to ever buy another Mustang, just keep adding more go fast/stop fast stuff to the one I've got and carry on. Love this car, so much fun on track. Just going to keep taking more and more non go fast stuff out of it and adding more go fast stuff to it...

Ugly AF.

It is simple to put a plexiglass cover over it and that has the added benefit of preventing hot underhood air from getting into it. It does not seal well to the bottom of the hood, best to just abandon that whole idea and use a cover that will keep hot air out of it for sure. Plus no issues...

That's cause the PP2 tune is trash for a variety of reasons. That whole PP1, PP2, PP3 stuff netted Ford a lot of negative vibes. Way oversold as to how useful it was. Absolutely zero increase in performance on a road course and severe driveability issues.

No lift shift as implemented in the power pack 2 kit is a disaster, a damn fine way to dump your car. No lift 4-5 shift at red line on a dry track breaks the ass end loose at over 100 mph. That's right, lots of wheelspin with 200TW tires in 5th gear. Not something I would advise using...

Shell, then Esso then Petro-Can in that order. I really prefer Shell though.

Where they are "way better" than the A10 is on track, they don't have the heat issues to the extent that the old slushboxes do.
