You said you wont be trading anything in, but I live down the street from that dealership. If you decide you want more pics or anything, I can probably grab some this weekend...or maybe try to check it out more for you.
That's how I felt. If I was going to make payments, I was going to make it how I wanted it. I added all the miles I could. The only reason I sold it was to put money aside for a future business.
I felt like a Shelby rebel when I had my Super Snake. I started modding it only a few months after buying it. I redid the suspension with almost the entire Steeda catalogue, added long tubes, a 4-inch Aluminum DS, a BMR Street K-Member, BMR lightweight engine brackets and motor mounts, front...
Again....the crowd that buys Shelby American vehicles does not hang around Mustang6G. They're mostly old dudes that have more money than time left alive that want to own a genuine Shelby product. They talk with their wallets....not their enthusiast knowledge.
The dude that bought my Super Snake...
I'd have my doubts on how hard they actually researched different options considering the 5.0 Coyote/MT82/10R80 is perfectly up-to-the task for what most Shelby American products end up being - garage queens and weekend driven to car shows. There's no need to swap the engine or transmission...
I'll add my two cents since I used to have a 2017 Super Snake. Before I bought it, I had put in an order for a 2021 Mustang GT. While waiting for it to arrive, I saw the Super Snake sitting at a dealer and I said, "yep, this is what I want instead." The price tag was waaay higher than the...
Yeah, I saw that part. Definitely hard to show that correlation 😅 I was imagining a 10R80 bucking, the driver getting tossed all over the inside of the car, and then showing up to a lawyer in bandages, a neck brace, and one arm propped up in a sling.
The article likely won't explicitly state the various "why" a case would be dropped, simply because the attorneys don't want to dissuade potential claimants from coming forward.
Reasons a claim could be dropped though include operating a vehicle outside the warranty or modding the vehicle...
I dont blame people for having bad feelings towards Subies. They can be very temperamental without good maintenance, especially the turbo variants. I blew up my modded 2015 WRX at 25k miles from a bad tank of gas. Traded it for my 2019 STI and that thing was easily the best car I've ever had and...
Yep, sometimes you just get unlucky. I remember during my Subie days, some dudes would thrash the ever-loving shit out of their STIs and they would soldier on no problem. Some would use premium oil, 3k OIC, top-tier fuel, get everything up to temp, and only boost above 3.5k RPMs....aaaaand their...
There's a dude here in Minnesota that makes 960RWHP and has a stock 10R80. Has probably made over 400 roll racing pulls and his is still working fine. Sometimes it's just a crapshoot 🤷♂️
I vote Mk7/7.5 GTI 🤙 - I have a 2020 6M GTI and it's my current daily/project while I figure out my next dedicated project car.
It was fun in stock form, and even more fun after a Stage 1 flash. I'm at Stage 2 right now with fueling mods for E85 and a hybrid turbo on the way (Black Friday order...
I'm not sure since I had a Whipple setup. You can either call/email Procharger and see what they use in their kits, or you can take out your current MAF and see what it is. I'd wager that you have a "from the factory" Motorcraft/Ford MAF sensor.
You can try cleaning/replacing the MAF. That was my very first step before eventually finding the blown fuse. You can get a can of MAF cleaner or simply buy a new one from Ford.
You can also try cleaning/replacing your filter if it's old as well.
I've had a 15' WRX and a 19' STI. The STI was heavily modded and arguably my favorite car I've ever owned. The older JDM ones have always been an interest to me due to their "analog" feel. So yes, I agree that light weight with the right power combo is ideal if going that route.
It's bittersweet, but it's best it went to someone who will enjoy it "just the way it is". I was starting to look into Twin Turbo kits and new engine simply because I wanted something different.
I'm giving it a break until after winter, and after I complete a few Ultramarathons on the horizon...
Sold my '17 Super Snake today, but this isn't an airport, so I won't announce my departure. Instead...
I'll be lurking in the shadows and keep enjoying the knowledge you homies pass along. It's been helpful 💪
Congrats! Phenomenal choice! 🤙 I'm in the process of selling my Super Snake since I can't justify keeping it at this point. This post reminds me of the importance of letting stuff go, even though you love it. There's always the next one!
