We have, and dealers will deem the problem ''normal''.....like the oil consumption problem my 12 had. The ''thud'' doesn't really bother me, I'm just hoping the transmission lasts. And, something definitely changed with the 15s, because the 11-14s did not have this problem. I have driven quite a...
I see them on Ebay for 70 to 90 bucks a set at the cheapest. I saw one post saying there are 2 types and you have to check your car to see which one it has. Where do I check? I want to get some all seasons on my spare PP wheels soon
It was ridiculous. The car ran like a beast though til I traded it at 45k miles. Sometimes if I was hard on it I would lose a quart in 800 miles. It also had the clutch pack go bad in the diff, 2 o2 sensors go bad (wondering if they got fouled up from all the oil blow by), had the cold start...
I and others don't thinks it's ''normal''.....it is just what every dealer will tell you. I have tried to work with 5 different dealerships with my 2 Mustangs and they are all horrible. I love the car but it has it's issues, I should have learned my lesson from my 12 that was a dud but I didn't...
If anyone in the Philly area would like to trade a street for a race I'm up for it. I cringe at the cold start at 430 am when I leave my girlfriends quiet neighborhood. Could probably trade just the rear sections....
The sulfur smell after beating the car will not be there. However, the exhaust will stink like a 1950s truck with 200,000 miles on it. My 12 was catless for about a year, the smell getting in the windows when they were down on a nice day got old. Everyone is different though. If my 15 wasn't my...
You are absolutely right about this. I had 2 Acuras over the years and was treated like gold in the rare instance the car was in for service. My 04 TL 6speed was the most reliable car I ever owned. It's a shame their cars are ugly now.
Do not pay a shop to put the exhaust on. Buy some ramps (they will come in handy for other stuff you put on the car and are a great investment), grab a friend and do it yourself. There are tons of install videos out there. While the exhaust is off throw in a Steeda shifter bracket. There might...
I am REALLY particular about where I park. This Sunday I went to a car show in a very nice area. I was forced to park on the grass between 2 cars. I had about 5 feet on each side, they could have swung the doors all the way open and not touched my car. I go to my car and low and behold, a ding...
I used bench racing math, I'll admit it. If the auto Camaro has the same gearing as the Vette then technically bench racing math should work pretty close :D But I mentioned the 8 speed too. Look what the 8 speed does to move the land barge Scat Pack down the quarter mile.....
I know 400 lbs makes a nice difference, that's why I'm saying the Camaro will be about .5 slower than the Vette. I think the Camaro will be running 12.3 to 12.5 @ 115 in the magazine tests. Ford will counter in 2017 and up the power a bit to even things out.
So many Ford fanboyz that...
Yup. Vette=3400 ish pounds, new Camaro will be 3800 ish according to Pill. If the Vette runs 11.8 why would it be hard to believe a Camaro won't run 12.2 with the new 8 speed auto in it?
They'll run good for 20 k or so til their valves get gunked up from D.I. anyway :D
New C7s are running in the high 11s bone stock. The auto Camaro will most definitely be low 12s, with a possible 11.99 hero run in mine shaft air. Hero run Mustang autos are 12.50s. I'm not bitching or being negative, just being truthful. I like my Mustang and it isn't going anywhere.....
Even with the only 100 lb weight loss, my Mustang will be seeing Camaro tail lights in a street race or the quarter. They are going to be low 12 second cars with that motor. Guess I'll need to save for a blower now LOL
They will say "It is normal".... like mine did. I have zero issues with my trans other than the ''thud'' and a very slight whine. As I approach 8 k miles it has gotten less notchy and smoother, but the thud remains. My 12 did not thud so something changed in the 15s for this to occur on just...
