Sure looks like a pre-production photo of the Voodoo to me. Nobody noticed the mess of blue wiring? The finished version likely won't look like that.

It's going to be really interesting to see how our friends all over the world get on with tuning the new 4 cyl. While I'm still loving a V8 in my cars (which aren't driven daily), this new turbo 4 will no doubt get heavily massaged and end up making awesome power. The Ecoboost models may end up...

Iron monstrosities are quiet, durable, and contain heat. All headers have drawbacks. More engine compartment heat, more noise, greater chance of exhaust leakage and greater chance of cracking. Long tube headers also lose more heat that is needed at the O2 sensors. Ford has actually...

To me, SVO sounds better than SVT. It really doesn't matter. You could call 'em the Dream-Team, for all I care. If the product performs, people will buy. Why are we concerned with renaming the group that engineers these cars, anyway? No doubt that the engineering & design groups themselves...

Trade it in. I'm sure a dealer will give you $2k-$3K on a trade. Just trade it, let them find out what's wrong (they won't care - it'll get auctioned). They'll take it in trade just to make another new car sale. No worries.

To the OP, it's mainly the immature punks that will harass you about what you drive. They want to feel superior in some way, so they might as well pick on your car for not being the biggest or baddest or most expensive. Ever since Shelby/Ford upped the Mustang's sporting image with the GT350...

As far as I know, all new cars currently sold in any of the 50 states, are equipped with the "CA emissions package". You can thank both your EPA and CA's CARB for this. I think that the only reason it's still listed, is that CA law required it to be listed.. But then again, I could be wrong...

Sounds like you're assuming that she's on the mobile bed. The brow-plucking while driving nitwit can't afford a mobile bed of her own. You'll need to invite her for a trip on yours. ;)

Good luck with that. See that girl texting and plucking her eyebrows in the lane next to you? ...She'll be the one running into your mobile bed.

That's the way to invest in cars. Find extra clean examples that are already appreciating in value and scoop up as many as you can. The 2000GT was a rare car from the start though; much rarer than the Ford GT. "Investing" in popular, common cars just because you like them, will likely end in...

Keep guessing... oldlugs is also my username on vintage bike forums; I collect and ride old, lugged steel lightweight bicycles. They have been pretty good investments, BTW. :D You're correct though; we probably won't come to (full) agreement on the self-driver cars. I see them as being...

Highly disagree that they'll make anybody's world "better in so many ways". Safer for many of us, possibly; fewer texting a-holes swerving into my lane like they're drunk, I hope. Actually better for getting the druggies & drunks home safely, maybe. If people paid attention to driving though, we...

With what interest rates are on CDs lately, we may as well "invest" in cars and future car technologies. Every other texting jackass is going to need a self-driving POS pretty soon; just wait. They can get high, text and play video games, all while the car takes them to work. Perfect for half...

Maybe so that Ford can bump up the #s with each newer model year. Maybe so as to lessen warranty claims. Maybe for ease of getting EPA approval. ...Maybe for all of the above. :shrug:

I think you'd be better off buying a clean used one when you see their prices increasing... Not too many modern cars make good investments. While the new GT350 seems like an awesome car, it's not going to change our future, and there's plenty of (good) competition from other manufacturers. Many...

Agreed. As I see it... Crank configuration isn't what contributes to, or limits an engine's torque. Flat planes just allow for quicker and higher revving by lessening rotating mass... Mass that would also make the crank flex more at high rpm and decrease durability. The main trade off of a flat...

Since Ford is offering some great starting points with V6, Ecoboost & 5.0s (not to mention the GT350), why not either mod your own or get the pony you like, already tweaked by Ford? No real need for full aftermarket builds, especially if they're only a goofy body kit. Wasn't the '80s McLaren...

Absolutely correct; it's just a car. And, if you had to drive my mountain roads in your Mustang equipped with the very best studded snow tires, it's just a car that won't be nearly as sure-footed as many other cars with those same tires, that's all. Better off with a cheap Subaru and decent...

Nobody said that the Mustang can't handle it... There are just better choices out there (and I have those choices). My Mustangs are my toys and I want them to continue to look brand new in years to come. They still look new today, and my Bullitt is going on seven years old. Makes no sense to me...

Unless you love revving past redline (too often), I wouldn't worry. Ford hasn't made flat plane V8s for production road cars, but no doubt that they must have had some input in the manufacture of the Ford/Cosworth racing V8s of the '60s & '70s. Surely at least, they had learned something from...
