Ford should have a car to compete with the ZL1/Hellcat/Demon, but I wouldn't worry about them falling behind. The top end Camaros are too expensive(mainly because they can't undercut Corvette pricing), and the Hemi is years behind the Coyote architecture in regards to reliable HP, and really...

Yep could happen -- but being it is already 2017, seems unlikely. I would have expected it a lot sooner. And if they do unveil the 2018, it make less sense they would unveil a 2017 at the same time or after. I don't think a GT500 will look exactly like a GT, but I think you will be able to...

Because the majority of buyers are waiting for the 2018 -- just look at the 2018 Mustang threads. Not very exciting if they were to roll out 2017 GT500 a month into 2017, right after they roll out the face lifted 2018 that everyone is waiting for, that also has a whole host of new go fast and...

But the 2015 and the 2016 GT350 were visually/mechanically the same. It would not make sense for Ford to roll out a 2017 anniversary car the same time they roll out the 2018 with visual and mechanical changes.

It has to be, right? I mean, we have had all of these mules running around for the last year that we know are more than GT's, the timeline is aligned with the supposed embargo, etc. Additionally, I just don't believe Ford would allow a Hellcat/ZL1 competitor built by SA with their recent...

A GT500KR makes the most sense considering the hashtags, and even more so looking outside the box, with Ford and their customers wanting/needing something to compete with the Hellcat and ZL1. It would obviously be a 2018 model. There really isn't another 50 year car that even fits into this...

Thanks for all the replies -- seems it is not worth my time right now. Maybe I will do something down the road if I miss that aspect of control. No link to a build yet. I will probably create one some day when the car is done. Its a 2016 crate engine, ARH headers, MMR oil pump and timing...

They already make two versions of the 5.0, and will continue to do so. The F150 Coyote has different rods/pistons, cams, intake, oil pump, front cover, manifolds, and no windage tray. If they didn't want to put DI/PI on a midyear refresh for S550, it wouldn't be production efficiency that...

How often do you use your paddle shifters? How do you like them, and how quick does the trans respond/shift when it gets the input? I am finishing up my Coyote/6r80 swap in my '92, and I am at a decision point as to whether I get the SelectShift working or not.

Really? Just the drama in my post? Are you serious? When you start underwriting multi-million dollar risks, let me know. Go read what you said -- I quoted it again for you. I would hardly classify advising folks not to take bad advice that could nullify their insurance contracts as...

I sure hope your insurance carrier does not exclude Pitbulls. If you have an excluded breed and they asked you what it was and you didn't tell them, if your dog would attack and seriously injure someone you can bet it will be a full limits loss on your liability. Your insurance company...

I don't think you are in that category -- but unfortunately there are some people out there that wreck it for the rest of us. Insurance works on the law of large numbers. Most people never have to file a claim, however, everyone's premium goes towards payment of the losses of a few. If the...

Because the same type of person that gets all pissy when they get cancelled for an "event on private property", is often the same person that wrecks their car doing something that is not covered, and then comes on the forums and asks how they can spin the story so their insurance pays for it...

They are regulated, but not enough to govern what they can and cannot non-renew or cancel for. As long as they have a detailed cancel or non-renewal reason, it is up to them to decide what risk they do or do not cover. They just have to give you an adequate amount of time to replace coverage...

This is not 100% true -- at least not stateside. It is accurate, in that if you are doing stupid shit, getting into accidents, speeding/moving violations, etc., and you are cancelled, yes, it will affect your rates. But that is where it ends. I am an Underwriter and deal with risk and...

Geico is a joke. Right now what they have going on is, for all intents and purposes, a mass exodus -- people are leaving that carrier fast. And what do they do to try and retain customers? They cancel insureds that use their car for what is was built, and in a safe environment none-the-less...

Because Shelby USED TO BE about performance. This is what Shelby is about now -- Shelby GTE hood & vents Shelby GTE upper and lower grilles Shelby GTE rocker panels with carbon fiber accent plates Shelby GTE rear spoiler Shelby GTE striping and badging Shelby GTE front grill emblem and Shelby...

Wow, Michael Bay really knows how to make stuff look like crap.

Yep, that is where it is going :) Hope to have the motor in there and ready for tuning by the end of this month, and then running the first week in August.

As in the crank gear? Yep, have that too!
