I got a couple of Motorcraft FL-500S oil filters at my local chinamart for less than $6 each. They also had 5qt of Motorcraft synthetic blend 5w-20 oil for around $17. I bought two...My car has 2400 miles. I'll wait until it gets to 3000 miles in the next couple weeks for the oil change.
Do I...
I used to think this way too. Thinking that OHC technology is a more modern design than OHV. It is not. OHC technology actually dates back to the beginning of the 20th Century and it is actually older than OHV. Think about these two technologies more as different ways to accomplish the same...
Great find. For the curious that wants to know about the different materials and for the engineers that might understand what they are reading: http://www.autosteel.org/Research/AHSS%20Data%20Utilization.aspx
On the right side, Under "Steel Grades" heading are most of the steels listed...
STD are also corrected numbers but the reference atmospheric conditions are different. Usually STD numbers would be around 3% to 4% higher than SAE numbers. Uncorrected numbers are listed as, you guessed it, "Uncorrected" and these are the numbers that your car made at the wheels that day under...
With the $5k that you are saving going with the Mustang you are well on your way of getting a centrifugal supercharger...If that doesnt tip the balance for you, then maybe you should get the Dodge.
To be fair I wouldnt mind having a scat pack for a second vehicle...
My car had 3 runs done that day. The first was in 5th gear and the second in 4th gear. They produced identical results. The 3rd run, the one that produced 376HP was done in 5th gear.

I recently dynoed my car and it only made 376HP and 341ft-lbs so your numbers are not that bad...
I have no problem rev matching my down shifts (ball of foot on the brake while the heel blips the accelerator) but the setup on my old 350Z was definitively better.
What color did you get? I got Guard and in that color the car basically "disappears" as the sun sets. During the day I get some attention from people in the know and enthusiasts but that's about it. I would imagine Magnetic and black would be the same. If you got it in TY, CO or RR, well, I dont...
I went to the Tijuana Taxi mini show yesterday. Lots of Mustangs, Vettes and Challengers and some classics. My car was the only 2015 Mustang. Talked to a couple of guys that owned a fox body drag car. Significant cars off the top of my head:
-64' Corvette
-66' Mustang convertible
-70'...
Europeans are getting shafted, no lube. What else is new?
And those bragging about "free" healthcare...Really, there is no such a thing as "free". It might be free for some, but someone always has to pay. And believe me, those with the income to buy a Mustang, are paying, through the...
