  1. 5W50 of 5W20 for the Mustang GT?

    I've posted way more information on my signature about me. Not sure what you're trying to get at with a 5 year old article of the start of a SIM championship I completed 1 or 2 races out of. Try just googling what I have below...it will get you so much more of what you're looking for.
  2. 5W50 of 5W20 for the Mustang GT?

    I keep saying 0-20 because the first number doesn't matter. Could be 1943-20, same idea. First number won't apply at the track. How can I take what YOU say seriously when you don't even know such basic fact?
  3. 5W50 of 5W20 for the Mustang GT?

    I don't track my car because that would probably void my warranty. And that's bad. Tim is saying 0-20 is fine because HE doesn't have any issues. I'm trying to make him understand he doesn't have issues because the way he drives is far from what the mustang is capable of. Lap times do make a...
  4. 5W50 of 5W20 for the Mustang GT?

    hold up...crappy driving? So you admit it? My seats are stock, NOT Recaro either. My car is bone stock, factory rubber. That wasn't me driving, I don't track my car. I have a friend that does... He didn't do the TT
  5. 5W50 of 5W20 for the Mustang GT?

    I need tires before going. Since I don't want you to say "well you have better tires, of course you were faster. " Can you recommend me a tire around 220 tread rating? I'm not buying psucks again, so I need something else around the same tread rating. Do you have a preference? I will have...
  6. 5W50 of 5W20 for the Mustang GT?

    First time your car gets loose you will be in the wall. What you do in your videos is understeer. I might just go to thompson to show you what the stang can really do in terms of times. I said my video was someone running 50 weight.
  7. 5W50 of 5W20 for the Mustang GT?

    Look at his hand placement on his track day videos. No offense to him or anyone that can't get the most out of their cars, but he just doesn't have the experience of really pushing the limits of the car and thus getting the oil more than slightly warm. He is making direct comparison of oil...
  8. 5W50 of 5W20 for the Mustang GT?

    I have first hand experience with using what's on the manual and spinning bearings.. Drive like this and you will most likely break the engine in a matter of minutes. Happened to me. (Using 5-20) After my engine broke (spun 2 bearings) the Ford mechanic that was working on it said FORD...
  9. NHMS South Oval config - GT PP

    Thank you. Stock tires look scary to drive on don't they? Makes the car super loose, even with 80degree weather
  10. NHMS South Oval config - GT PP

    Friend of mine bought a 2015 GT PP and did a track day at NHMS, asked me to post the vid for him as he doesn't have a forum account...

    The more G's you sustain generally the faster you are going, less g loading across the lap normally means a slower lap. The faster you are going the more you will stress the engine in terms of temps. High oil temps will thin 0-20 out to the point where it will spin your bearings. I've seen...
  12. Maintenance Post HPDE

    You are correct, I was combining g-load with oil viscosity in my head. 15 hour work shift making me retarded.

    Factory weight oil (0-20) will spin your bearings... Well maybe not yours because 1.15gs (stock car) is uh...mild to say the least :)
  14. failed rod bearing - 2k miles on the engine

    Picked it up yesterday, there is a long list of replaced parts but I haven't taken the time to go through the paperwork yet, I will tonight. It drives perfectly and there is nothing that suggests it was ever in for repair that I can tell. I will still keep an eye on fluids/leaks/etc... I've...
  15. failed rod bearing - 2k miles on the engine

    I'm not saying I will file it right after its been 30 days. I completely understand that's not the point of the lemon law. However I'll be shocked if I don't need to keep going back to fix things they screwed up while taking it apart/putting it back together. The longer it's there the better my...
  16. failed rod bearing - 2k miles on the engine

    Just spoke to them again. Dealer said they WANT to put in a new engine in it (or short/long block) however they are doing what Ford is telling them to do and they have no control over it. The reason they were able to get the back ordered bearing is because they checked all the dealers...
  17. failed rod bearing - 2k miles on the engine

    From what I understood, they put in the information of what's broken in a tool and the tool tells them to either fix it or replace it. As of yesterday the dealer said they have the parts and are currently rebuilding the engine. The bearing went from back ordered with no availability...
  18. failed rod bearing - 2k miles on the engine

    I don't think they can either. They are confident they can do the repair, so I'm going to wait and see what happens. Each day that passes by is a day closer to me filling a claim under lemon law.
  19. failed rod bearing - 2k miles on the engine

    Getting close to the 30 day mark my car has been at the dealer. Still no ETA. They are waiting on backordered bearings. The dealer said they are looking into putting in a small block now because they can't get the bearings. I don't understand why they would wait for something without a...
  20. Whats the coolest feature you didn't know your car had?

    'Auto shut off' shuts it off when it reaches operating temp. Who is this manuel guy?
