Well I have yet to experience this on my R model. If its stops raining here for the better part of the day, I'll take it out and see if I notice the resistance to blip.

JMHO Everything vibrates, including the transmission. Most components will have secondary frequencies. Windows up or down is a variable as well. Im not sure I follow this thread. Are you trying to prove something is wrong with you car or is this a scientific method exercise so that we all...

I believe not mentioned or asked, but how do you have all your mode settings set? Some of them will have a direct effect on throttle response to keep you from loosing control. That might explain what happened when you entered that corner and tried to blip the throttle. Slip angles going south...

I bought my R model at Peoria Ford. Can't speak for their service as the car lives in California. They are a Roush dealer as well.

Ford recommends 0.15+/-0.20 degree each side, or total split 0.30+/-0.20 degree. total split can be as much as 0.50 degree. The right spot might be more tire specific than the adjustment itself. That takes track time or skid pad testing to see what the car likes for a specific tire. Seat of...

Considering the project teams major challenge for the car was for it to survive 24 hrs flat out at Nurburging Race Track w/o failures makes me feel Ford did not create this machine on the cheap. They set out to make a statement and to honor Carroll Shelby. The engine alone is significantly...

I was thinking it might show commonality (same part) between the different versions of this family of engines. Considering the breed, the GT350 and R are probably very unique from its other brothers and thereby less or fewer interchangeable pieces parts.

Probable piston slap when considering the pistons are barely skirted compared to old school piston design. The slap noise is the pistons rocking in the bore. Generally more noticeable with a cold engine because everything hasn't had time to warm up and expand yet. The heat expansion reducing...

While that mod strengthened part of the shaft the hex section at each end is still a weak link because the shaft torque is constant for the full length but the torsion section modulus for the hex section is still the same as the old shaft. Regarding the picture of the failed pump on old small...

` Any one go to the parts counter and ask the parts many to look up the pieces for each motor.

Coasting or idling with the clutch depressed will accelerate throw out bearing failure as well as crankshaft thrust bearing excessive wear or failure.

Well its personal thing. There is noting bad about a tribute mod to make you feel like you have the real deal. How many 65 66 Shelby Mustang clones are there out there .. and 427 Cobra kit cars. As long as the car is not misrepresented as the real deal, whats the sin? As far as buying used...

`well I just can't fathom that the car micro processor is randomly taking over your effort to blip throttle while down shifting steering into a corner, unless micro processor programing logic takes over because you are about to exceed stable vehicle dynamics envelope (like about to enter a...

Going to a stop at a red light! Just use the brakes! De-clutch when you nearly stop. And forget about trying to sound cool with throttle blips from 6th to 5th to 4th to 3rd, to 2nd to 1st. De-clutch and go to neutral before lugging the engine. You are making this way too hard. And not...

I agree. Your close enough to operating temperature to not have been at high risk. But better to continue to be cautious until the real cause of oil pump failure discovered. No one knows how well the calibration is on the engine instruments. Might be interesting exercise to check surface...

You might want to look at a gas pedal pad extension cover. Then when trying to blip while braking before you down shift its not as awkward to push or roll your foot over both pedals. Photo attached is what I had on my 05 Mustang GT

Is that AMSOILS claim or is that by inspection of the container label Has Ford published a alternate list of acceptable lubrication products other than thier own?

Not to be a pain, but: What state is that in? Where is that stipulation published?

There's a lot of voodoo going on out there. Is there an actual complete property comparative test of all the oils being debated or recommended. Where's the w/o personal opinion technical support-comparison that product A is actually better than products B thru Z. All these other choices are...
