That's exactly what's happening, alot of people trading up even though thier EBs were fine due to Hysteria. While I don't wish misfortune on anyone, I will admit it was difficult not to laugh at a story on FB(can't verify) about someone trading in his EB because he didn't trust it and is now...

Drivers and tracks are such major variables especially with a manual that anything within a half second reported by magazine is a dead heat as far as I'm concerned and probably couldn't be taken advantage of by your average driver. Someone with damn near my setup ran 11s. I went to an event and...

I actually love the sound of my Eco, Several GT owners complimented it at the Lux meeting last year, I wouldn't change a thing, especially at that price! More than my entire exhaust system, or more than my big turbo too

It's really only a few tenths isn't it, problably more due to the 20hp and massive 55lb-ft advantage of the LT-1 vs a Gen 2 Coyote. I'd love to see a GT with the FR PP3 vs an SS. Much closer to my heart, I'd like to see an EB with the FR tune vs a Camaro I4t and V6 (It already beat both in...

Did you ever get a dyno run on the VS2? I'm super curious to hear your thoughts and see your results on the precision unit. If your mods are similar to mine we can do a true unbiased comparison.

Since the engine is running fine,it's probably intermittent and can be a simple as an improperly tightened ground strap, so you shouldn't be in panic mode. (Did you mount a CAI? that ground strap under intake box can cause a bunch of problems if not mounted properly). In any case it needs to be...

On a GT, I agree with you 100% the PP is more than worth it for the brakes and the high revving nature of the Coyote makes it a natural match for 3.73 gears. The PP wheels on the GT look better too but are still way too damned heavy. For the Ecoboost, I can get PP brakes (Take off base GT...

This, I have gotten to know many Mustang owners during the last 2 years, Most actually have the PP and the owners have 0 intentions of ever seeing the track (Drag or Road Course), they just didn't want the "inferior" car. I think Ford did a good job offering a base car. I think the PP is a...

While the alpha chassis is great, the H2H you mentioned there, the ZL-1 was faster but not as fast as it's 100hp/200lb-ft advantage should have made it. The GT 350 proved it had more chassis than engine by gaining in every single corner. So in the end, the ZL-1 won like it should have, as it's...

All electronic sensors and all reading high voltage, Seems like a short in the engine bay harness to me. I would look for damage anywhere in the wiring starting from the PCM on the front right side of the engine bay.

So they didn't upgrade the tires on the Mustang to something you cant even get from the factory like they did when the press fleet worn Ecoboost curb stomped the 2.0 Camaro on the track then compared the times of those new tires without the Stang being there? It's just like when the GTR smoked...

The current 2.3 already has forged rods, that being said they are thin and powder forged as opposed to a billet forging so any improvement there is welcome. As said above, It doesn't appear the rods have been the problem on this engine but every bit helps!

Back on topic though, I have a VS2+ tuned by Tune+ and have only good things to say about both. I am truly sorry about thier falling out but I wasn't there and can't say who was at fault. For a long time, Vargas was the ONLY option for a stock location turbo and competition is great for us as...

Agreed, with good tires, and in low boost mode, the stang is fine in the snow. This pic is after 20 minutes of digging mine out in the Italian Alps.

Most Profit per car has to go to Fiat-Chrysler. Ancient chassis paid off by Mercedes a long time ago with mostly carryover power train and only the most necessary interior upgrades. They are still going for fairly high transaction prices too with sales rivaling the Camaro. Someone needs to let...

Yeah like Pontiac, Saturn, Oldsmobile, Saab and Hummer......... Or all those brands owned by GM? :lol:

Because the stock tune is deliberately hamstrung on the top end. It is not done for efficiency. It just dumps fuel and pulls timing. It's not done for reliability, It's actually worse for the engine. Having spoken to some insiders. The original tune was similar to the Ford Racing tune but the...

Spot-on! I was typing my thoughts on that at the same time. And yes, the 911 has better visibility than my Fiesta ST which is better than the Mustang's Most people will gladly trade a few 10ths on the strip or track for better visibility and utility when they onlty want one car.

Honestly, there are some sensible members on C6g that called these two out on their BS. A base 911 is nearly $100K so if you have that much money to spend on a car, chances are you have enough for something else more practical for everyday use. people shopping in our segment generally want...

The second thing I learned was that 30-32k will only get you a V6. You couldn't option a V6 to 30k no matter how hard you tried when they were new, There must be some serious ADM on V6s now!:lol:
