The more I look into this over the past few days the more I agree with the 50lb est on the IRS. Take into the consideration the AL body panels, and the AL front suspension components I just cant find the weight. Same wheelbase, slightly wider, but a lower roofline, same engine, same trans (all...

Still no release by Ford so until I see Fords specs I consider all of this vaporware made up by some bored auto hack journalist, or as we have seen punk (as in he/she tosses out a range of lbs heavier but nothing more) blog writer. Consider the sources peps.

I heard more on that and what was said was that the original suspension up front wasn't up to par handling wise compared to the new IRS on the rear. Car was unbalanced so they redesigned the entire front clip (suspension wise)

I'd be holding onto the GT500 for a long long time. She's going to be I would guess a highly sought after car in the not too distant future. Especially with the new EPA standards looming. I have a feeling that car with that Trinity will possibly be one of the last of it's kind.

Waiting for numbers before considering a purchase Azsnake Signed

I'm thinking that the speculation mentioned earlier in the thread may be reasonable that this may be misinformation Ford has planted using Steeda to "WOW" their customers when real numbers are released. It would also mean Steeda didn't violate the NDA with Ford being that Ford requested this.

:amen:

Bingo I have a 2010 Raptor with the 6.2. and it was a DOG until around 2500-3000 rpm. This was all attributed to Fords Tq management software. Hell the TB didn't even open all the way under full throttle until a certain rev was reached. A tune woke the truck up in a BIG way, then later after...

Back in the day I named my Cobra "The Mistress" and my now ex-wife agreed because I spent more time and money playing with the Cobra than I did with her. Honestly in the long run the car was worth it lol.

Maybe these kids don't have the right influence. I recall I could care less about cars until I was 13 and my neighbor had a SWEET 71 Chevelle. Him and his buddies were 16 and took me out cruising the Strip one night (Lived in Vegas back in the 80's and 90's) and I was hooked right there and...

When I was 17 I had a 1970 Z28, w/450hp 383 stroker I built from my old blown 350 4 bolt. That motor and car ran like a raped ape and I never wrecked it, although I did go through 3 transmissions because I was a complete idiot driving it. I got in 4 accidents in the 1986 Sentra I had as a...

Word right now is kids just aren't getting licenses anymore in the number they were even 10 yrs ago and kids interest in cars is in the decline. I have a friend who is a mechanic and says the average age of the guys he works with keep getting older and older and he sees a lot less young guys...

Allegedly the shift fork's been updated and beefed up.

My T45 HATED the 2/3 shifts. Got a Steeda Tri-ax and it resolved much of the problem but now and then I still missed that 3rd gear with a horrendous grind. The problem that ticked me off most with my 98 was the DOHC's IMRC plates clogging up and making the car run like a 2V, oh and me ripping...

Not sure how a transmission made and rated for trucks before Ford used it in their products is a CYA move. Sounds like you have made up your mind and your not willing to budge. Kinda like the polar opposite of a fan boy, having a mustang doesn't excuse that. All I know if the Getrag is way...

390 ft lbs @ 10,000 lb vehicle weight. Getrag designed the unit as a truck trans to start with and it was originally rated @ 390 ft lbs tq/10K lb vehicle weight. Being in a car that weighs 3XXX lbs is going to equate into a much high ft lb of tq that you can safely run through it.

I would have never guessed on the change in firing order, thanks for the heads up!

It's been a while since I played the game (like 5yrs), but my Cobra I thought sounded simply fantastic with an offroad H and 2 chamber flows (Not sure if those are 40 series or not). I'm pretty sure the dynamics of the Coyote compared to the 4.6 DOHC are relatively the same (specifically...

Thats why I figured if they do it will not be within the next few years, but not anytime too soon. I'm sure the Mustang will go AL in the not too distant future. You can take a hammer with the Alcoa AL their using on the trucks, and give it a nice little whack and it wont dent, opposed to...

If they were to use the Alcoa military grade AL their using on the F150's its actually more dent resistant, and with the MASSIVE amount of AL their already buying from Alcoa for the new F150's they may actually be getting an amazing price point on the material. I sell military and aerospace...
