I hear you there. I have the Stage 1 Whipple with active exhaust and the resonator deleted. The sound is unreal!
Do you have the Whipple tune? If so was the traction control and advancetrac turned off on it?
Yea I have the Whipple tune. No neither was turned off.
Manual. I haven't had it that log. I have less than 500 miles on it. Steeda installed mine as part of the Q850 package. They also use the Stage 1 Whipple on their Mcqueen Edition Bullit.
Hi Bob - I have to say that I am very impressed with you, aileron and the others that have these kind of mechanical skills. Don’t be modest and say I could do if I tried - no way. I’m a long time performance car enthusiast going back to my original new ‘65 GTO, but have never pretended or professed to be a gearhead nor have I ever done any track time. I just enjoy driving these performance cars and occasionally unleashing the tiger that’s under the hood, along with the comradery these cars encourage. I once had a ‘73 Toyota and had to get a running start to pass a car. Never again, I want to get by slow pokes and back in my lane as soon as possible. I only do the simple things like replacing alternators, plugs, batteries, etc. Some people say you can’t call yourself a car guy if you don’t do most of your own work, so that’s why I use the term car enthusiast. I think once it’s in your blood it never goes away, which helps explain my buying the Bullitt at age 77. Happy motoring... Bruce
My first hot rod was a 76 vw scirocco. Duel weber carbs ets. My 2nd was a 79 scirocco with fuel injection...highly modded with the motor and suspension. A 1900 lb car that would kick the datsun 240 z..bmw 320 butts. Handled better than my 77 porsche 911. Not as fast though.
Well, you got me on the snow. We get a little over 100 inches annually which is which is less than the neighbors on both sides - Syracuse and Buffalo. Then the highway department uses about a hundred inches of road salt to melt the snow. My car will obviously be off the road as well. The DMV will store my plates for me for $1 and then I will only have to keep the comprehensive coverage for those five months. The savings will pay for a few tanks of 93 octane next year... Bruce
i am working my way up to a whipple. Of course I will hand it to my local guys/gals as it voids ford pt warranty and I, at least, need them to make sure that it is installed correctly. Did you get the whipple warranty? If so, what are your thoughts on their warranty?
Whipple sc comes with a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty on their blower. The powertrain warranty is offered by Whipple but it is a different insurance company whic covers the engine only. The cost is $595 for a 3 yr 36,000 mile warranty and the maximum covered is engine up to $5,000. After issues with my '15 I decided to go with Whipple and no warranty. 12% cost was too high in my own opinion. You must use Whipple's tune. No exhaust mods, etc. Too restrictive.
