Sometimes I check back and go over the posts. I just got too much hate to participate anymore.

Well, fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not like you. It isn't over until it's over. I reserve the right to change my mind until I can't change my mind. So, maybe you should just start the Stam616 forum and only people that are just like you can participate. "Say it once, why say it again"...

Because it's a forum. It's something to talk about. Maybe I wasn't satisfied with the answers I got before. If you're tired of a topic, pass it by. Don't answer it. But don't tell the poster to go look it up. You can go look up anything and then no one needs to participate in the forum. You...

Manual seats usually afford about 1/2"-1" extra headroom.

Smart man.

I'm not asking for buying advice. I just want to know, mostly regarding the stock arrangement. I compare it to motorcycles times in my head. God, you can't ask questions around here. What exactly is it that you guys want to talk about? I'm sure not going to talk about times or Mustangs again.

Are a stock V6 and stock EcoBoost with the same axle, say 3.55, about the same to 30? to 60? to a 100? In the 1/4? How much does the eB change with a tune? I'm not being a wiseacre, I just want to know. I like the eB primarily because the wheels on the PP look so great, and the whole PP...

This looks like it might be informative, but I don't understand it. Could someone explain it to me?

I recently asked the chief mechanic at the local Ford Dealership about changing the axle ratio because you see many forum posts about putting in a different gear later with the assumption that it's practical/affordable to do. According to him, and he's a Ford Dealer's chief mechanic/service...

I hate to show my ignorance and be plebian, but I don't see the price anywhere. How much does a set of these bad boys run, and where do you go to get them? I like the 01s.

Junk. It sucks up headroom and I can't put my amplifier under the driver's seat. I just want to slide back. Not go up.

Those wheels are a $155 upgrade on all versions but the V6. Only on the V6 do you have to buy a $995 package of other junk that no one wants to get them. They're a $155 upgrade on the eB and GT. And the optional $395 3.55 axle ratio adds no content at all. It's just a mathematical ratio for the...

Well, when you look at it that way ... . Sweet!

They're reliable. You just put it into first gear, push the pedal down, sit back and wait.

That's how a lot of us feel. Is the MSRP/delivered cost important to you, or have you got plenty of dosh? Because if the cost is important, the best deal is to order a base V6 with your favorite color and no other options. Your dealer might order it for $300 or more below invoice. Now, you're...

Right. The cost is too close to make the V6 more desirable from the MSRP standpoint. But the eB has negatives that make it less desirable in some respects, but not in others. I don't want to mention them. But mostly, you can get the fabulous PP package or the nice Premium Package with the eB. Or...

The Fiesta is really light weight. I can't figure out why they don't make a 2 door coupe Fiesta ST. It would be a real screamer. I'd buy two of them.

No. It costs thousands of dollars to change the differential. It isn't just a gear swap. The 3.55s are hard to find. There's a nice manual one at Bergstrom Ford in Neenah Wisconsin. And there's a bitch'n YYY automatic at Kunes, in Antioch, Il. Otherwise, you have to order. And the...

Because this is a forum and if you didn't talk about something it would be boring.

There's a site fordcustomgraphics.com that gives a preview of what the Ford hood and side stripes will look like with a particular color option. Normally, a light color car, like white or Silver, will look best with a black stripe. And Black, say, will look better with a white stripe. It depends...
