I still miss my Cayman S (with TPC stage 2 turbo kit). I regret selling it!

If you can live with a 2 seater, buy a used Vet or Porsche Cayman/Boxster both handle better. And both will give you more smiles per buck: Examples: https://www.carmax.com/car/17842396 https://www.carmax.com/car/17480627

Instead of peel on stripes... how about a nice paint job:

Sport mode - helps the throttle response Tune - wait until the car is broken in properly and then get the Ford Performance Tune - It might not provide the highest peak HP increase, but it provides a HUGE torque/hp boost at the lower RPMs. Have a certified mechanic install it and you will...

And you exemplify exactly why Ford marketing is right with the Ecoboost. The HiPo is an easy way to make some extra money. The PP1, PP2 are cash cow packages. Everyone always factors in what it would cost to upgrade a Mustang to those parts. But when Ford does it at the factory, they save...

1. Throttle response is a little muted to achieve EPA MPG ratings. Putting the car in Sport or Track mode fixes most of that. 2. Low end torque is purposely dialed back a little in stock form so you're not spinning your tires. Most tunes will give you a 40+ lb bump in the low end torque...

Wait another couple of months until the order books and/or inventory of GT500s hits. When the GT500s hit the market there will be a bunch of people with GT350's selling / trading them in, to get a GT500. It happened with the Boss 302's and older GT500s... ie: the "old best" Mustang when the...

First gear lasted about 1 second and I was going about 50 mph. Second gear I was hitting 75 mph in another 2 seconds. So yeah, its kind of hard to enjoy hitting the higher RPM's where the engine really comes alive. On a road course at high speeds I know it would be a lot more fun. But on...

I test drove a GT350 back to back with a 2017 GT PP. And the GT PP actually felt better at the low RPMs. The GT350 took a while to come alive and by the time it was alive, I was WAY over the speed limit on the street. Now, the magneride felt better on the GT350, but you can get that on a...

00 has been waiting 2 years to say "I told you so." He filed that "V8 will be dead" note in the back of his head, and just remembered.... that guy was wrong.... I'll show him. ;P

Based on this, I'd say the new HIPO Ecoboost is going to have similar torque as a GT, and weigh about 160 lbs less. So using that as a performance metric, it should compete well against the Camaro (turbo) and last years Ecoboost.... which are its intended competitors. I know everyone wants...

First, I think Ford is downplaying the horsepower a little. It probably has the same 350hp as the RS. They just don't want to show all their cards and it leave them room to "raise" the hp to 350hp in 2 years. Second, its not all about peak hp #'s. A broad flat torque line will get you...

In 50+ years a lot of "old" pristine muscle cars will start to appreciate in value. The problem will be finding gasoline, when all of the cars are electric! Most cars are used up in 20 years. Meaning they've been driven 200,000 miles, left out in the sun, interior falling apart, etc.. So...

I had a 6R80 in my 2014 GT, and it was boring in D. In S it was ok. But still not as much fun as a manual. I had a manual in 2017 GT PP and it was fun, but to be honest I'm back on the fence waiting for something more. Maybe the new GT500 will be enough to make me happy. If not I'm...

Much more useful in an SUV where you may have a vehicle full of kids. Pros: Better signal than your phone Doesn't use up your phone's limited battery Not limited by the performance of your phone (running multiple apps, etc.) If your phone connects to it for data, then your phone will...

buy an OEM PP1 tire off ebay to use as a spare.

For me: 90% of the year to let the AC run and cool down the interior. 10% of the year to warm the interior up.

All manufacturers are downsizing engines, increasing efficiency and/or adding turbos. Look at the high end performance cars. Ferrari 458 went from 4.5L NA V8 to Ferrari 488 3.9L turbo V8. Porsche is turbo charging and shrinking all of their engines. etc. If people paying $100-300k+ for...

Isn't there some type of ECU/ECM programming that can be done with Forscan to change the time out?

$70k for ugly roush decals is a joke. The other for $60k is ok. Kinda pricey but would be nice to have a turn key warrantied car.
