    Before Purchasing a 2013 Mustang GT

    I was thinking the same thing about banging around in S all day. not a pleasant thought. What is odd, is that the KBB value is coming in around 19k - so even with the cars on the market going for more, I dont really feel comfortable paying 'full price' on a car that might come down in a year.

    He wants 21k but I am thinking 16k. Tuned by american muscle - I called them and they found the tune, it is set with the right parts. Any one of those reasons in particular why you would pass? One more than the other?

    I just took these off my Cobra to go with black/machined Metcos. The blue has worn off a bit, probably from using too harsh a cleaner. Also, the belt surface has grooves in them now. I guess the belt had something in it. The are shallow, but has worn in past the anodizing. 100...

    Putting 03 valve covers on an 04

    I sent out a set of valve covers to get powder coated, they were off an 03 and marked 03 underneath. I noticed that the one I just took off the car has 04 marked on it. Does anyone think this will be an issue? Also, there were some small hairline cracks on the underside of the 03...

    Do you need a retune with new MAF? Ba or MAFia

    Hi, So in the effort to price out what a whipple, kb or vmp will REALLY run me, I am trying to figure out if I need a retune with the supporting mods. I imagine it is a good idea, but can I drive the car before the new tune is in? I heard that the new MAF renders the car undriveable...
