Thanks for your feedback and take on what may have taken place here. I'm a bit weary of going the same route again since the return on investment was less than stellar.
I replaced my factory Ford clutch October 2024, which had a pretty good life. It owed me nothing after 10 years of service, 1-2 years of that was while the Stage 1 Whipple was on the car. Roughly 55,000kms of service.
I replaced it with the Stage 2 Vengeance after hearing nothing but good...
For what it's worth, I'm experiencing something similar with my 2015 GT. Randomly, every few days or so, the wrench comes on shortly after starting the car and driving - which also throws it into limp mode. Forscan tells me it's something to do with the ABS. But it just goes away on a restart...
I have a Whipple Gen 5 on my 2015 GT PP - I still have the PP 19's on the car. I did buy the AM PP 10" wide knock-offs to run a 19" 275 Nitto DR. There's no comparison between my street Indy 500s versus swapping out the rears with the DRs. Night and day predictibility on the streets when hitting...
I've had both, 2013 STI and 2015 GT PP. I didn't find the STI as fun to drive unless it was a heavy snowfall (I'm in Canada).
Everyone seems to think the STI is this lightweight nimble sports car. It isn't. I found it felt heavier to drive than my Mustang, mostly due to the combination of the...
My 2015 GT PP 2.73's actually had a gear whine, similar to what you were reporting from the factory. Ford had the dealership rebuild it during the first year of ownership. Haven't had any issues since.
It is possible they changed the orientation of the drive shaft? I think they're balanced from the factory and need to be re-installed exactly the same way.
To use the same analogy; a new car and platform with a fraction of the budget needs to do hundreds of different tasks flawlessly with hundreds if not thousands of moving parts, that's not including the software development. It's pretty impressive what they can do in 5-7 years per generation...
If the bulk of the hard work and research extends as far back as 19 years. The final product could have existed a decade ago. We'd all just be taking a booster a year ago if funding hadn't been cut.
In addition to Moderna's story, vaccines were in fact entering the human clinical trial phase after the original SARS and MERS outbreak, however the funding was cut after just under a decade of research was completed. All that research still existed at the time of this latest pandemic. All the...
Moderna’s Ten Years of Research
Since 2010, Moderna has focused on building our mRNA technology platform by leveraging the role mRNA plays in instructing cells to create proteins. Our platform produces mRNA that can be delivered to cells without provoking an immune response against the mRNA...
A month ago, before searching for a new vehicle, this would have shocked me to hear. We ended up driving 200+miles/300+km to find a dealership that was professional and made the process as streamlined as it could be.
That same dealership seems to be very relaxed with their rules surrounding "borrowing" a vehicle from the lot. My wife and I went there to potentially purchase a Lincoln Aviator, but the two we were actually interested in weren't available to see over the weekend because their staff were using...
I suppose the major difference would be that "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday" would imply that the dealership is using the track as advertising to lure customers in with motorsport. Bob Tasca Isn't a salesman, who takes the window stickers off the vehicles for joyrides, hiding the fact that the...
Not sure if it's the same thing in the US or not, but here in Canada it's largely turned into a monopoly where the same company owns all of the "competition" in town and surrounding areas to avoid discounting.
It's not a bribe. It's a lottery. HUGE difference. Chances of getting any $$$ out of it is next to nil. Bribe means you're actually receiving something beyond the vaccine in return.
