After running the GT exhaust for about six months, I agree with everyone else. - a tiny bit louder overall, going from SILENT with the stock pipes to "I can actually hear it" with the GT pipes - improved bass tone on startup, idle and pulling in low RPM - nice tone and moderate volume as you...

26.2 MPG on a recent highway run from Montreal to Toronto. Not light-footed. That's on a V6 with manual trans, stock gears, exhaust upgraded to stock GT (bigger pipe diameter) and 6000 miles on the odometer.

Finally tracked it down ... it was MAD TV. The character was "Tank" the street racer guy. Played by Bobby Lee.

Anyone remember this skit from SNL? I can't find it mentioned anywhere... It's got two brothers. Older brother has a street racer. He likes throwing his little brother in the trunk and making him jump up and down to make the car "bounce." The punchline is always the same. A cop pulls him...

Banners also show the love for local companies. Around here you see banners for Da Silva Racing, the local speed shop.

You should get exactly what you want, even if it means ordering your car. If you don't love everything about it, why bother? I didn't care about power seats, as mentioned the manual seats are much quicker to move around when people are getting in and out of the back. So I ordered a base V6...

There absolutely should be a 3.5mm Aux In. It's a technology that JUST WORKS. The audio quality is very good - there is nothing wrong with analog audio, it's how your headphones and speakers work after all. It has no overhead or complexity, you simply plug in each device. I have a friend...

Never had any hood lift on my 2012. This weekend I thought the hood on my 2015 was going to fly right off. It was dancing and rippling. I stopped to check the latch just to make sure everything was ok. This wasn't at ludicrous speeds either -- 65MPH +. Yes it was a bit windy, but not a...

I'm 42. Apparently I'm the only one who keeps their cars for a good long time! 1986 Chev Camaro 1989 Pontiac Sunbird 2000 Ford Mustang V6 SN95 "New Edge" 2012 Ford Mustang V6 S197 Pony Package 2015 Ford Mustang V6 S550 Plus I learned to drive on my Dad's 1979 Capri RS.

Whew... $300. Big bucks for small pieces. At least I don't have to paint them...

Mustang_Eh, I live in the east end of Toronto. I could meet up some time, or I will try to make it out to the next cars n coffee. The sound is definitely more than placebo, because the old pipe were SILENT. They could only be heard at WOT. Now I get a nice little burble with any throttle. Not...

Just received an email back from Cervinis ... the new rear quarter louvers should be on the website by the end of the week. Apparently they are in final stages of production and are working on the instructions. These look like the best option for rear quarter louvers. They look really good on...

Hey, nice find. I haven't seen these before, I just googled Solo. Do you like them? Which model did you go with? Mach and Storm both look interesting...

I've seriously considered adding the clutch pedal extension. It adds a few inches of thickness to the top of the pedal.

Have some sympathy and patience for the filmmakers, guys. They don't want to keep this film to themselves, for sure. I've produced a feature film and lived the frustration of losing two different distributors. Eventually I self-distributed through Amazon. But it's NOT the route you want to go...

I'm 6' 1" with a 32" inseam. This is the first car I've had where I can't simply put the seat all the way back. All the way back would be fine for my arms, but I can't get full travel on the clutch. The seat needs to be forward about 1/4 of the travel. Then the seat back is reclined a bit more...

Of course I'm just impatient, but new parts seem slow coming. Anyone have word about new hoods? I'd love to do a hood with functional ram air. Something like the Cervini Stalker II for the S197 would be a perfect match for our cars. I especially like it because the V6 doesn't have heat...

Dumb question, supercharge noob here. How does this thing breathe? Upgraded CAI? Does the stock V6 hood need modifying to get either more intake or more cooling? (We don't have the heat vents.)

No wear on my cloth seats, it's a DD (but no commuting) since May 2015. The cloth seems a bit thicker/tougher than previous years. I've got my fingers crossed, this was an important update for me. My 2012 wore through the driver's side bolster within a year. Ford replaced the upholstery on my...
