If Ford wants to accomplish something, they usually do. A recent example being the Ford GT. Before that the 2013 GT500. I have a feeling they will raise the horsepower bar, and it will still handle well on the track, i mean those brakes, holy crap. I think it will be a force to be reckoned with...
I remember a magazine article about a 2000 cobra R spitting a half shaft with drag radials. I also know that the 2003s cobras half shaft were much improved over the 2001 cobras(strength wise) which the 2001 cobras were improved over the 99 cobras (spline count). Alot of those problems were due...
I'll just say in theory, he is correct. Horsepower measures power over time, which is important for acceleration in a quarter mile that is measured in time. And that cars that are identical(horsepower weight) except for torque should run the same quarter mile, with correct gearing, regardless of...
Cool thanks. I didn't know they did that for the 11.89 run.
I bet a stock one will creep to 11.9x. If im wrong, 12.0x is still great for a stock mustang gt. The horsepower wars are alive and well, and I, for one, think that is very badass.
Right, there were a few RHD for AUS, I was saying in the US they weren't released. Was just sharing some info to correct what was said about the "2001 cobra disaster". And interesting on the dyno stats, I had an 01 Cobra, but knew many people with 03/04 machs and heard that they really didn't...
'99 Cobra disaster. 2000 year model cobras never came out after this, only a 2000 Cobra R with a 5.4. The 2001 Cobras made their advertised horsepower with intake and a couple of other changes, and laid the ground work for the 2003 Mach 1 engines, which were fairly close to the same engine...
I always use full synthetic royal purple on my motors, have not had a failure. The only engine failure I've ever had was when running full sythetic castrol. It probably was not the oils fault, but made me leary. AMSOIL gets great reviews. Mobil one has diehards and people that say its crap. Its...
Looking at 2015 Dyno sheets, looks like it is still a shift up by a couple hundred RPMs. I sent a tweet to LMR for some clarification on the temp and if they are corrected numbers, I'll update the post if they reply.
I saw this while browsing twitter. Looks like a PP1 10 speed auto put down 415HP and 397 lb ft on a dyno!

First off i want to make it known that camaros along with other brands, even higher end, rattle too. I know this first hand.
Second. I have a 2013 f150 lariat, love it. The rattles annoyed me. After a few google searches, i pulled my door panels, 10 minute job per panel, and put some foam tape...
This is reminding me of the LMS vs Reische discussions with going to a 160 with a tune on the 3.5 ecoboosts, and all of the arguing which is better stock, 170, or 160. I still wish i knew the answer to that question, from what i see most people say 170 is a good compromise with a tune, and 160...
