I was just hit on I95S with my daughter while crawling along due to another accident ahead: a cute little Pilates instructor came off an on ramp at close to full speed in her 370Z, cutting across two lanes of traffic to get the back side of the passenger door, rear quarter, bumper cover -- my...

How many miles are on your car? I think my overall build quality is really very good, but I have only about 23k on mine. I do feel you as far as power in the city -- you have to drive it gently to avoid jail. The Kia looks good -- but it's also a fundamentally different vehicle. Maybe keep...

With needle-nosed vice-grips, it’s a clean, under-five-minute install. In my opinion the perch upgrade is a waste of money - but I would also not attempt the swap without the needle-nosed vice grips.

it's entirely feasible to do a V8 hybrid - it may not happen, but the transmission coupled to them is set for electrification, so... maybe a 918-style Mustang? It may not happen, but that would be cool.

While I can't disagree that the clutch is hydraulic, and doesn't have the feel of a cable clutch, there is some mechanical feel introduced by the return spring -- and with the pivot point where it is, the rates are noticeably nonlinear, with the return forces increasing as you let up on the...

I have to say, while I can't totally disagree in that the overall feel may be heavier, I have to disagree about the effectiveness of replacing the spring -- my personal experience with the spring has been different from yours -- I feel that for $20, it's a no-brainer: the extra shove-back in...

If you have issues with thumps, clunks, rough shifts, sketchy clutch engagement -- in no order... 1) Buy this: https://www.opmustang.com/store/p4/store/p4/BG_Products_Syncro_Shift_II_Synthetic_Gear_Oil_-_MT82_Kit_.html#/ 2) Buy this...

I watched an early video of a Ford event on Youtube -- I forget which Youtuber did it -- they asked the question to the Ford rep -- it's far more than a spacer. The rep said the Magneride was tuned to allow the fitment without rubbing -- that without it, the tires would rub -- so the dampers...

I think it's been said by Ford already that you MUST have Magneride - probably factory tuned, and specific to PP2 - in order to get the front fitment without rubbing -- I'm pretty sure anyone could fit the 305's out back with no issues.

I have a feeling this is a play for secrecy and to bring along the Mustang faithful: What's worse than an electric/hybrid Mustang: and electric/hybrid Mustang that's not even a Mustang! Then when they release the Mach 1, and it turns out to be a very efficient car that stomps about everything...

I'm sorry you're so frustrated -- I ordered mine, and while it was frustrating, looking back on it I also enjoyed the anticipation -- I felt like a child waiting for Christmas to arrive. It was worth it when it arrived -- I still remember the day I picked it up, and it still feels like a...

I'm going to BG fluids in a week or so, and I'm going to check the CV joint on my driveshaft -- this is the second one from DSS on my car -- I was going to ask Kelly about the Shaftmasters piece he has on his black car -- it's lighter than my CF one, and I have no idea when I will be putting a...

I'll just say this: I love my Mustang, and I'm glad it was (mostly) built here. Long live V8's with manuals, and our democratic republic -- may we keep improving them all.

I'd steer clear of Mitsubishi based on quality alone, and maybe other reasons -- not sure where the final assembly of Toyota's is done, but they can make a car -- but the Camry is a toaster or refrigerator - it's a transportation appliance -- not something you fall in love with like a Mustang...

Okay -- because nationalism (not patriotism). Besides - we firebombed the crap out of them, and then nuked them twice -- I'd say we're settled up -- but Japanese cars aren't as good as they were in the late 90's and early aughts. Most Honda's sold here are built in Ohio with American labor...

*should* all things being equal -- but I've started to believe that most light wheels are more track-oriented, and probably don't have the service life that an OE wheel does -- the OE service life requirement means more material, so a negligible weight savings. My summer setup -- the Advanti HY...

I can't drive 0-60 in 4.5 seconds in my daily commute -- but more performance potential is still welcome -- hell -- as it is, I rarely commute with my Mustang anyway -- I have kept my '99 civic, and recently purchased a slightly-less-dorky-than normal Vilano single speed 20" folding bike to ride...

I think that's for the base GT, without the PP - a stripper -- the performance pack adds a little -- but not much -- the calipers weigh less, but the rotors weigh more -- there's an increase in componentry (k-brace, strut tower brace, and so on...), so it makes sense -- check this thread -- lots...

There is nothing -- NOTHING -- forcing you to use the no-lift-shift feature. I've only played around with it a couple of times -- It's a cool feature, but I don't use it.
