Rumor has it that this former aerospace engine builder now works on the Romeo Niche Line. Fresh off his recent successes on the Gen 1 Voodoo FPC engine, he's already hard at work on the Gen 1 Predator 5.2 mill: Meanwhile, I'm picking up my new 2020 GT350 this week and I'm praying for a good...

A few months back, someone did the same type of post and the new owner turned up. The OP in that case included the car's full VIN in the post and the new owner found this forum via a Google search on the VIN. Very nice of you to do this by the way!

Short road course:

That's not a hood gap, that's the optional "UAW Aero Package"! It's an exciting, no-extra-cost option that enhances engine cooling by taking additional airflow from the high-pressure front grille area and routes it right under the hood! This package also improves front-end lift at high speeds...

The pictures I've seen of the 2021 Mach1 don't show NACA inlets. I see air outlets similar to a Mustang GT hood, but they are not NACA in design.

My 02' Z06 engine grenaded due to a defective valve spring. Spring broke, valve dropped and broke piston/rod and bent the crank. Chevy had changed the P/N for the valve springs because the early version (on my motor) turned out to be defective. Can we get someone w access to Ford part...

Mike have you heard any advance rumor on what the Z06 will do with regard to performance? I saw some spy video online that showed a heavily camouflaged Corvette and you could hear the wail of (what I assume was) a FPC engine. Nobody proffered guesses about redline, HP levels, acceleration...

I forgot to add that if you do want to swap out the car, there are probably several other orange cars w/wo the black roof and w/wo stripes. If you want help locating an orange car that can have the roof painted and or be striped to match what you have now, just sing out and we'll get you onto...

Well there are at least two other cars like yours already out there, assuming your VIN is listed here (hat tip to corrieb's VIN tracker): VIN Model Status Color Stripe Color Blk Roof 1FA6P8JZ5L5550308 GT350 Delivered Orange White Y 1FA6P8JZ6L5550639 GT350 Delivered Orange White Y...

So the Mach 1 has approximately the same or more weight, the same trans, same diff gearing and a 45 HP power deficit? My money is on the GT350

I’m guessing they’ll make ~5000 per year, if they follow historical precedent. I think the only rate-limiting step is the supply of hand-built engines. It’s a fantastic car, so demand will only be limited by the price, which Ford (or the dealer’s) can change on the fly. Let’s see what 2021...

Did you use the bleach box to prep the tires before leaving the garage on drag radials, or just do a hole shot on cold street tires? Seriously, I'd guess that's an electrical gremlin. To have that develop on a cold driveline doesn't suggest a hydro/mechanical issue.

I'm working on a haiku about Rapid Red....

I remember guys who wouldn't move from a QuadraJet to a Holley........... EDIT: I was one of them, QJet was (and is) a remarkable piece of engineering.....

My guess: Bill Ford will request the removal of that damn shark fin antenna............

And here's a quick blurb from MT on the car: https://www.motortrend.com/cars/ford/mustang/2018/2018-ford-mustang-cobra-jet-first-look-review/#:~:text=The 2018 Mustang Cobra Jet,available anniversary badging and graphics. So it seems like it's 130K. Beans wants 169K with a spare engine included...

Oh there are pictures......you just went to the Beans Doylestown branch web site. Here's the pics, at the Beans Boyertown branch website: https://www.fredbeansboyertown.com/exotic-new/Ford/2018-Ford-Mustang-2510d51b0a0e0a176a8d7b38ad959728.htm?searchDepth=1:3 Unfortunately, they don't show...

Not even those hood pins!:dance:

Better yet, just by the Cobra Jet car. Fred Beans Ford in Boyertown, PA has a new 2018 CJ drag car. Price is $169k and that includes a spare engine. I think that's a pretty good deal. They had it at their Doylestown showroom (where I go for service) for a few months and the car is just...
