In October 2022 my wife and I purchased a new 2022 Supra 3.0. It's a 3rd "fun" car; my primary is my '21 ZL1, and we also have a safe, comfortable AWD family hauler - Volvo XC90 (great car, btw). We both drive the Supra regularly and my wife loves it. She used to have an RX-8 and likes the small...

Went to the IMM42 today in Boise w/ a friend who has a '19 GT350. Lots of great Mustangs from all eras! Here's some pics, starting with the S550s and then some early models:
Original 289 ci Cobra:And wayyyy back in the far away corner (actually I was parked in a separate parking lot nearby), a...
PSA: If you're going to track your Mach 1 - open up the vents to relieve the air underneath the hood. This Mach 1 (from the Edmunds YouTube video review) had some serious hood lift at 120+ mph coming down the straight at Willow Springs. Note that when parked, the hood gap was fine - it just did...
I've been itching for a while for a C7 Z06, however, I need back seats so that's a no go. After a while I realized the Camaro ZL1 is the next best thing, and while the back seats are small, they aren't that much smaller than my Mustang. So, I decided that I'd test drive a ZL1 and if it was worth...
Has anyone had a C7 Z06? It's been on my bucket list for a long time as my obtainable "dream car"...but I haven't driven one. I like the styling and exterior design better than the C8. Has anyone had one that can share the nitty gritty with me of living with one day to day? How's reliability...
Has anyone had a C7 Z06? It's been on my bucket list for a long time as my obtainable "dream car"...but I haven't driven one. I do like the styling and exterior design better than the C8. Has anyone had one that can share the nitty gritty with me of living with one day to day? How's reliability...
Hey all,
I'm curious what other sports cars or muscle cars are in your neighborhoods? And, have you met the owners yet? AND, do you think your Mustang is the quickest car in the neighborhood??
On my block or adjacent to my block we have:
Camaro SS - 5th Gen (White w/ red racing stripes)...
Just curious what others think of the new Nissan 400Z proto? Overall, I like it a lot - there's a few minor design updates I'd prefer to see, but in general, the proto looks really good IMO. I grew up loving the Z32 1989+ twin turbo 300ZX so I like the nod back to it from the rear end. That...
Factory OEM silver strut tower brace from my 2018 Mustang GT PP1. Near perfect condition; only marks on the brace are where the nuts hold it down, as seen in the pics. Package includes the factory nuts. Buyer pays for shipping from Idaho, or local pickup. Will ship in a Ford Performance strut...

I've been really digging the SVE R350 wheels for the fact that I could reduce 35 lbs of rotational weight, and they look good, too. So, as a mechanical engineer should, I performed some calculations to see how switching to the lighter wheels would improve acceleration.
In general, removing 1...
So I finally decided to pull the plug on some mods for my '18 A10 GT that I don't believe will risk any warranty issues if problems arise in the future. I've chosen the following 1st round of upgrades:
K&N Intake
Airflow solutions OEM ported throttle body (awaiting receipt)
Airflow solutions...
I'm curious if there are any less common or obscure bolt-ons that are available for the Gen 3 Coyote that can be done to increase hp. I'm not referring to the common ones such as: tune, aftermarket air intake, ported TB, intake manifold (ported, CJ, etc.), headers, and catback.
I haven't dug...
Yesterday I was in process removing the stock intake manifold off my 2018 GT to send to be ported. I removed the fuel rails, etc., unbolted the manifold, and had the manifold angled up and slightly out, but I could not for the life of me get the rear sensors unplugged and the harness detached...
And I thought the Volvo R-design 2.0 liter Polestar was pretty impressive for it's displacement. The tuned 2.0 liter Volvo T6 makes 330 hp from the factory (316 un-tuned) for a very solid 165 hp/ liter. My wife has a '16 XC90 T6i that is 316 hp with 2.0 liters and runs pretty well...
When my car is cool, i.e., in the morning or leaving work in the evenings after sitting all day in the parking garage, if I give the car a slight amount of gas for a very brief moment, then take my foot off the gas, the car continues to accelerate in 1st gear for 1-2 more seconds until it...
I've searched quite a bit, but haven't really found a definitive answer to this question: Does replacing the rear deck speakers with a two-way (i.e., Polk Audio DX651 or similar) actually make a difference with the stock head unit and EQ (GT premium 9 speaker system), without reprogramming the...
