Got my car back from ford after some warranty work (that they didn't do properly) and they overtorqued the piss out of every lug on my car. A second ford dealership loosened the rear lugs for men and I re-torqued to the factory 150ft-lbs. The fronts will not budge with an impact wrench or tire...

:lol: Looks like you have dealing with the service department down to a science. I think I'm gonna try a different dealership with pastrys in hand.

So I'm going down the highway and can hear a dull whopwhopwhopwhop that goes away when i make a sharp left turn so I figure a wheel bearing may be going bad. I get home, jack up the drivers side rear end and sure enough, the rear wheel has an excessive amount of play in it. Take it to Ford and...

I've got ~6500 miles on the original PZeros and the rears are SHOT. Amazing how fast my rears wore down. I have launched the car maybe 3-5 times but other than that, there is no overly aggressive launching or burnouts. I do like some spirited curvy-road driving though. I have noticed that as...

Yeah those are definitely the VMB7 wheels.

I have the pro kit and konis as well. I run mine 1 turn from soft. I dont have much to compare it too but it's noticeably softer than my C5 with stock springs, c6z06 shocks and c6z51 sways. I could definitely handle stiffer springs or another quarter turn on the shocks.

Worth noting the Focus had the sport cup 2 tires. That has a lot to do with the track times. Still impressive though

Does firming up the rebound on the yellows affect the compression as well? I see people say it's too stiff after 1.25 turns but a stiff rebound wouldn't make the car feel too stiff would it?

I've always thought Invoice was pretty much bottom dollar on cars but I constantly see base GTs listed for 28,xxx or GT PP list for 30,xxx. How can dealers list their prices so low? I've also noticed at the bottom of the page on dealers websites, a disclaimer that says something like "All...

I looked into it a bit more. Here is a quote from a different article: Source The distances, in that article, seem to fit in with a non-R compound tire. Maybe svtperformance's test was up a steep hill or the testing equipment was off? **edit** Looks like I cant link to the article. You...

That's a hard pill to swallow. Not only do these tires stop a ~3800lb car faster than every R-compound wearing supercar in existence. It does it on a wet track! Not to mention it is in the Passenger Tire category instead of Competition Tire. It's also in a lower performance category than the...

Ok, I just watched the video on Nitto's youtube page. Nitto Tire test. If you're on a mobile device, go to the 3:07 mark. It says "Wet braking 76.5'". It doesn't say at which speed they stop from. Information must have been misinterpreted at some point.

76.5' from 60-0mph? That does not sound even close to being correct. If this is true, that is probably the best tire on the market. The new z06 that is lighter, has better brakes and sport cup 2 tires did a 91' 60-0.

Nope, no clue. Hopefully one of the aftermarket companies here can comment on that.

Well...yeah. I'm not sure what your point is. That isn't a counterpoint to my statement at all. If you look at the very next section of the article you are quoting, you will see this: "Many people mistakenly believe that wider pipes are more effective at clearing the combustion chamber...

Yeah, I pretty much expect them to talk about the design philosophy of the car then reveal it but give no numbers. It's always disappointing.

Larger primaries means lower exhaust gas velocities which means less of a scavenging effect. You should only go with larger primaries if you are moving larger volumes of air fast.

This is really impressive to me. I'm used to looking at C5 corvette upgrades. To get to 450whp with its 5.7 liter you need heads/cam/headers and the cam has to be a little aggressive. The '15 gt only needs basic bolt-ons and a tune and has less displacement. And everyone knows how popular...

So what did you run?

Are you saying to make sure you have the accurate ratios selecting on the dyno? You can't input gear ratios in dynos can you? All it needs is RPM signal right?
