It looks like the Camaro SS motor still has powdered metal rods, and members of the community seem sketchy about pushing the motor past 600whp. Is this the case? It seems the new mustang has a more stout motor for now but the Camaro has the better transmission.

What's a reliable WHP for the LT1?

No bank will finance that as new.

Yeah. But hey, you can do stuff like that when you're actually supporting the platform. No one is providing custom turbo headers for the car in their kits from what I can gather. But still, we share the same trepidation.

I love the idea of a single turbo 600whp setup for the street. It shouldn't be stressing anything too much, and it's easier on the motor than a 5.2 heads n/a coyote 550 whp build. A turbo is a great trade off for power vs longevity. All out high RPM N/A is probably the worst option for...

Personally, mine had the ticking or rattling before the first oil change.

Not looking good!

Those brakes scream "hey you like slamming on these from 140 mph, right?" I am not sure where else you would do that but the track. JMO. However, I chose it because it was the better daily than the camaro due to visibility, interior, cosmetics, while having performance that was on par. I'll...

I don't see anywhere where I stated that he has done so. However, we've somehow managed to avoid additional wars, so that's neat. Somehow I feel like all of the other candidates last cycle were bent on their theater of choice for conflict, and were pushing that as a "new issue" that needed to...

Eisenhower imo. We've had a string of economically terrible presidents since Vietnam. It's hard for me to be excited about anyone since that era. Echoing the thoughts about Obama, he was forcing attrition into the military without stating his policy to avoid political discourse which was very...

Reusing the stock manifolds is a key reason I did not go with Hellion.

If you EVER see metal in your oil, there is an issue. If you're really concerned, just get a borescope and check yourself.

My dealer confirmed the rattle at 2300 rpms as not normal and is waiting on the tech to bore scope it. It's hard for me to say this is an isolated case now...I very much so hope I am wrong. I've been a very aggressive proponent for this platform as of MY18 and this would not bode well for my...

Did they mention what steps they followed? I mean, it should be pretty straight forward and non invasive standard trouble shooting. Leak down test, compression test, borescope, stethescoping, etc. These motors are 10k a piece. I don't know how much it is for Ford to make them but I am...

Ha! You got me! No it didn't. I guess it's not an issue. Ford would have taken care of it like they did with the RS, right? Which shuts down at 260 degrees so people stopped buying them? It's also the reason I am in a GT. I can just add a cooler and be done with it where as the RS is a bit...

I've had my rear diff get hot on the street and I live in cen fl with circuits that are 95+ temps. I'd prefer the cooling setup for HPDE no doubt. You don't need it on the street 99.9% of the time. Edit: I also like the idea of the components having a lower average temperature due to having...

If you're going to do HPDE with your daily driver, then the 1LE is going to be better off due to it's cooling setup and better transmission. If you want better visibility and marginally better 1/4 mile performance, then the bullit is the winner.

Profit margins have to increase for investors to remain interested. If you don't increase profit margins, then you have to pay dividends. Also, the medical industry has exponentially increasing costs which directly affects automotive insurance. It's a feedback system. You get used to paying...

All I have is an H-pipe. I don't have a tune. If I can't mod the car without fear of reprisal due to a defect from the factory, then that really bends my stick. Just curbs my enthusiasm, you know? There aren't any Ford Power Packs out for the car so I don't have an option right now for...

The solution to check and see is simple and cheap and is the same process as removing spark plugs. Just avoid the uncertainty and check it out for yourself IMO. Although I am a hypocrite because I've dropped my car off at the dealer because I am not unpacked and can't do it at my place right...
