    2013 Boss pre-purchase questions

    Have a chance to purchase a very low mileage 2013 Boss for what I think is a very fair price. I have been interested in this car for several years but could never pull the trigger. One of the things that concerns me is in virtually every track test there are comments about the brakes fading...

    Boss 302 w/torsen option compared to non/torsen package

    Getting close to pulling the trigger, on a low mileage mint 13 Boss. I just realized that the Torsen differential was only an option with the Recaro seat package. I assume since the car I am looking at doesn’t have Recaro seats it doesn’t have the Torsen differential. My question is how will...

    Thinking about playing with another Cobra, your thoughts on this car.

    Been thinking about playing with another car here. My last experience with an 04 wasn't that good I made the mistake of purchasing a worn car with 102k on the clock. I'd like to get the opinions on the following car from the group. What do you think about the condition, price, and mods? What...

    Thinking about another Cobra

    It's been about 3-years since I sold my 04 Cobra. I really enjoyed the car but with 98k on the clock it had issues, rear-end leaks, transmission leaks, poor paint quality, and was in desperate need of shocks and struts. I couldn't see putting the money required to correct these issues into a car...

    3rd Gear Lock-Out

    Those who have experienced 3rd gear lock-out at high rpm shift points I'd like to ask how Ford handled the issue. Again I'd like Ford to handle it and not have to go trial and error with aftermarket pieces. The car only has 4k on it and I want to keep the warranty. Last Friday at the track...

    Poor track showing

    Took the 5.0 to the strip for the 1st time on Friday at Virginia Motorsports Park. I must say I came away pretty dissappointed in the car and my driving ability. My car has the Ford Pro-Cal tune, is lowered and runs on street Nitto 555s. First pass launched at 2000 rpms slipping the clutch a...

    Busy weekend on the 5.0

    Had a busy weekend making changes to the 5.0. The first up was upgrading the door speakers to new Infinity pieces. Next up was installation of J&M's Extreme LCAs, and a set of Hotchkis Sport Springs. Driving the car with the new springs and lowers is a pure pleasure the car handles so much...

    Looking to get some advice here. I am running 19" SVE Drift wheels with 275s all the way around. I'd like to lower the car a bit but I am unsure if I would have a problem with rubbing. Thinking about the FRPP line of springs.

    FRPP Forged Wheels & M/T DRs

    Thinking about getting a bit more aggressive on the tires and wheels of my 12Brembo car. I am considering the FRPP Forged 19 x 10" rears with M/T 305-35-19" DRs, to both reduce weight and gain traction, and the FRPP 19 x 9" up front with the stock 255s. As the car will be street driven I want to...

    Occasional smell of burning oil

    Every once in awhile when I drive my car hard I will catch a smell of burning oil. I have checked the car from top to bottom and can't find any leaks. Had a friend follow me and he said there is no smell from behind nor any smoke from the pipes. The engine oil level is good and I am using 5W-20...

    Options for adding DRs to 19" wheel Brembo Car

    2012 Brembo package. I'd really like to keep the factory stock look of the car, but options for DRs on the stock 19" rims are null. Does anyone sell a widened version of this wheel so it will fit the 305s, or is there an aftermarket look-a-like out there? I really would like to add a 275 series...

    NT05s

    Thinking about swapping the rear 19" 255s out to 275 35 19s in the hope of having a little more grip out back. With the stock 255s the car just lights them up all to quickly. I also have a bit of hop to deal with. I know drag radials / slicks is the traction answer but I really want to keep...

    Clutch Issue?

    Driving my new to me 2500 mile 2012 5.0, sometimes when I shift from 1-2 gear at normal driving rpm range I will get a very slight grind (maybe for a second or two) and then it engages. It's almost acts like the clutch is not fully pressed in (but it is). I am just wondering if this is normal in...

    Thinking about a used 11/12 5.0

    Times are getting tight here in my household, just can't justify having 40k tied up in my Challenger. Been thinking about something for a little less money mainly used 11/12 5.0 or a 03/04 Cobra to play with for now. I'm leaning towards an automatic 5.0 as it seems they are quicker and easier...
