I love stripes. My favorite color combination is white with blue strips because it is just classic. Yet I own a 2017 avalanche grey with black roof and NO strips. Why?
Because stripes make the car look like it is going faster. The limit of my cars speed is not the car itself, but rather how...
I vow to always fight every ticket at this point. It is my belief that exceeding speed limits and accidents are not correlated. Damage from an accident and speed are correlated.
What is correlated with accidents is distracted driving. Cops should only issue tickets based upon distracted stupid...
Thanks for the replies. I guess then oil in my catch can is a good thing. If the car does consumes some oil, it is better that the oil be from crankcase ventilation re-circulation, than from piston ring or valve guide seepage.
With about 10k on the odometer, my best estimation is that my car "uses" about 1 qt every 3,000 miles. About 1,000 miles ago I installed a JLT catch can. I drained it the other day and to my surprise there was about 3 oz of oil, about half full.
I do understand the concept of a car burning...
Great job, I bet the car feels a lot better in 6th on the fwy. My biggest and really only complaint about the car is not the the final drive gearing, but the 5-6th gear gap. The car's overall gearing is pretty much perfect in the sense that 5th peaks at about top speed at redline. This is good...
You actually just proved most peoples point, that if purchased new, a GT PP and then modding is not a good value. My guess is that your car new with mods would cost upwards of 50k and then within 2 years it was sold to you for an almost 20k loss. This was a bad investment for the original owner...
I get that.... but strip out all of the conveniences, interior, aircon, seats etc and make some pretty simple track mods and it is. It is a lot closer to a race car than your stock rental car. The point was that many buyers have never experienced this level of performance and may change their...
Currently there are 243 GT350's on Cars.com. There have been about 10,000 produced in about 3 years. So 10,000 cars have sold over 36 months which translates to 278 sales per month. Just approx figures. So there is less than one months supply of cars on the market.
This is far from a glut of...
The GT350 is a race car pure and simple, it is not a car for the average person. Yet with such amazing reviews there will be a lot of people that end up buying the car and then realize it is not a good match. It is very understandable that many buyers come to the conclusion that the GT350 is not...
I love modding cars but hate having to finally sell a modded car and live with the fact that I may have thrown away $20k of mods.
Being 55 yrs old, there wasn't a car that didn't need to be modded when I was growing up. Whether it was a car or motorcycle every 1980's vehicle needed a litany of...
After 10K of mostly long highway trip miles where there is a lot of 6 gear cruising and over taking, I wish 6 gear wasn’t as tall. 5th gear goes to around 169-170. 6th is geared towards almost 270mph. While most gear shifts drop revs 20%. 5-6 gear change drops revs almost 40%. Imo this is just...
How about putting on those stick on letters, spelling your last name with an initial for the first name, like in the Ford performance racing school. If it could be subtle and tasteful that would be cool.
Maybe have it say "Driver: F. Lastname" down low on the back side window in 2 inch high...
It was incredibly easy. Once I decided what colors I was interested in, I called dealers across the country. I only had to call one dealer with exactly the color I wanted. They accepted msrp, took a 1k credit car payment to secure, ran my credit. I flew up to oregon and drove the car home. The...
Just stopped by dealer to get an air filter and noticed their one Shelby on the floor, non-R with a whopping $27,500 ADM. More SoCal lunacy courtesy of Worthington ford of Long Beach.
It is obvious to me that they do not want to sell this car, strictly eye candy to move other cars. They...
I completely understand, as I live in long beach and probably frequented the same dealers. I tried for about 4 months locally. The best I was able to do was an adm of 6k. A search on cars.com revealed one in oregon in the color combo I wanted. The process was easier than I thought. I can see one...
