  1. Anyone regret buying a ragtop vs a coupe?

    It surely comes down to where one lives and what one's tolerance is to the environment. Up to 4 years ago, I had been living in the NYC area where there was a 5-6 month span where it was absolutely impossible to put the top down, and another roughly 2 month span in the heart of the summer where...
  2. Positive KNOCKR when not using octane booster now

    A mechanic who helped me with a Lund tune and associated bolt-ons warned me against the excessive use of octane boosters as he came across a number of instances of a nasty orangish deposit having formed on spark plugs that he traced to their use
  3. Do I need camber plates for a 1” drop?

    if your not regularly changing your alignment and you are already able to dial in the desired camber Than I do not see the need for camber plates. If you do have an issue dialing in the desired camber then you would benefit from camber plates, or the much less expensive option of camper bolts...
  4. Sub install with pix and shopping list

    My understanding is that facing it rearward is most optimal? https://audiocurious.com/which-way-to-face-subwoofer-in-trunk/
  5. Sub install with pix and shopping list

    Here is a picture of how I have the subwoofer box situated in the trunk. The audio technician advised a rear-facing box with space to its sides and back to optimize the low frequency sound waves bouncing back around the box to pass through to the cabin. As with you, we killed off the center...
  6. Sub install with pix and shopping list

    Do you know anything about the active noise cancelation feature apparantly implemented in some of the S550 Mustang trims? My current understanding is that it is something found only in EcoBoost trims --- not the GTs, but maybe you know something about it as I have seen some posts that it can...
  7. Sub install with pix and shopping list

    I have an Alpine model ALP-RW10D2 10" dual 2 ohm Type-R with RMS 750 watts and peak 2250 watts. This is being driven by a Rockford Fosgate model ROC-R2750X1 amp for which I have an independent volume control. I have found this to be plenty loud and, more importantly, to provide very good...
  8. Sub install with pix and shopping list

    Perhaps it come down to different sensibilities? In my case I value fidelity much more than loudness. Many of my friends are the opposite.
  9. Sub install with pix and shopping list

    I also went with a rear-facing 10”, in my case an Alpine with its box having Velcro on the bottom that wInds up adhering very securely to the trunk deck carpet mat while allowing me to remove it when I need the space. Having a rag-top, my sub is pretty useless when the top is down i wound up...
  10. Ford Performance Track & Street Pack

    I have the track pack on my 2016 GT which I installed immediately after picking up the car in 2020. I made some other suspension and chassis's modifications to eradicate rear wheel hop, bump steer i(ntroduced with the lowering) and stiffen the chassis. Some would consider the ride a bit hard...

  12. Modded Vert?

    Wow I sounds like you pulled parts from more different bodies than did Dr, Frankenstein 😌 you have the black powder coated 3-piston brembos in front and black painted floating calipers in the rear? I thought of ordering all the various parts related to that system and putting them on my car...
  13. Opinions welcome-rebuild and refresh or start with the new?

    Do you put more value on performance or on having up-to-date technology and the freshness/finish that one gets with a new car? Do you have a budget, or is cost not much of a factor? A few years ago I had been looking at the same consideration, and I almost traded in the car for the same trim...
  14. Modded Vert?

    Thanks, Carl. I enjoy it every day. By your front grill I am guessing that you have a 50th Aniv. Edition GT vert?

  16. It seems like a lot of people don’t understand tire and rim relationships.

  17. Getting lighter wheels are a game changer.

    I very much wanted to go with 18”s, primarily to reduce unsparing weight. I wound up going with APEX 19” X 10” square for figment of the brake kit I wanted. The APEX 19” wheels did yield a fair amount of weight savings, even with the increased width
  18. Car Repos on the Rise

    There is one possible scenario that could help to support used car values, this being where auto manufacturers make a very drastic switch to manufacturing EVs with the market continuing to resist them. If, with this, the gas prices were to remain “affordable“ and the government were to keep its...
  19. UPR drain plug

    I have found that UPR is very responsive to sales inquires but becomes mute when receiving post-sales technical inquiries. I have multiple email threads to prove it
  20. Cold Air Intake

    About a week ago I installed a Velossatech snorkel on my 2016 GT with the Roush CAI (the version that comes with their 2.3 supercharger) and a RTR "grill delete". The snorkel slid very cleanly into the CAI and when I put the bumper back on the triangular intake section of the grill slid very...
