Glad to see so many R's are getting street driven and not just kept as collectors items!
I'd say like the two halves up as good as possible and glue a rubber/plastic patch to the backside of it to hold everything together. Chances are you're going to hit it again, so no sense paying $500...
You guys that are happy with your current color, but want a matte look, should check out the satin guard type of paint protection. It's basically a clear bra, but gives your stock paint a 'frozen' look. Probably a bit more expensive than a vinyl wrap, but it's actually protection film that...
Agreed, they build a street car with awesome abilities on the track, then limit you to deciding whether you want a great track car that sucks to drive on the street or a comfortable road car that is limited on the track. Option packages are a bullshit way to make the dealer/manufacturer more...
Ford GT made from 2004-2006 with supercharged 5.4L engine.
GT500 released in 2007 with supercharged 5.4L engine based off the GT. (eventually used damn near the same engine as the GT, then moved onto higher displacement)
Ford GT revealed in 2016 with TT 3.5L V6.
I'm betting like...
This. All I hear is how dealers are buying cars back and forth for more tha $20k over sticker.
Buying an R at $5k over is an investment if nothing else. If you don't like the car when you get it, sell it for $20k over before you title it.
Man, some of these dealerships must really...
Agreed, I'd say no other cars comes close to the level of new technology Ford put in this car. Completely new designed FPC engine, carbon wheels on a production car, fancy brake rotors, and mag-ride shocks, all on a car that sells for less than $62k. It's insane.
:ford:
How the hell are hood struts still not a stock feature on the mustang??? Is this the only car in the world that still has a hood prop rod? Is Ford in cahoots with Redline?
And I'd never buy a used R for MSRP or even close, no matter what the original owner spent to buy the thing new. I'm not sure why everyone on here wants to buy a new GT350 for MSRP, but expects zero depreciation. In 1-2 years, why would I spend the same amount for your used car as I would for...
I'm assuming like every other performance car, they took their stock vehicle and stuck a bunch of Hennessey and supercharged stickers all over it. Then used a picture of a regular '15 GT engine with a whipple as their pic for the GT350. No way they've done the research, modified a Voodoo...
It's pretty easy to ask them to confirm the other track-spec items. Have them take pictures of the suspension button on the steering wheel, the normal base radio, and of course the seats...
I'm not a huge fan, a bit too raspy and high pitched. Sounds worse with the cats removed.
The preview of the Magnaflow exhaust sounded a bit better, but it was only a couple revs and not going through the gears.
I imagine any tire machine that doesn't touch the wheel will work fine. The toughest part is mounting that wide of a tire with a stiff sidewall, but any performance shop shouldn't have a problem.
The wheels are painted black. I'd say use the same soap and water you would on any other painted...
