Went to Milan Michigan Drag Strip today.
Best day ever there with the Boss, a 13.2 @ 111 mph.
No shift problems & good reaction time.
Usual prob with Pirelli's not hooking up.
Car is stock except for suspension mods.
My CEL turned out to be a cracked O-Ring in the Crankshaft Position Sensor for which there is a TSB.
Chased it for months thinking it was aftermarket CAI leaking air causing code P0300.
Installed Autometer Oil Pressure Gage.

The C & L intake comes out of the plastic tube end about every 500 miles triggering a CEL.
Put it back in all the way, tighten the clamp much as possible and it will come out again. After a few miles the CEL goes out.
Anyone else have this problem? If the blue connector tube was longer it...

Anyone added satelite radio to their Boss?
Manual says the radio is satelite capable and Ford Dealer wants $550 to install a kit to recieve Sirius.
Mickey Shorr $350 and Best Buy only has an add on tuner that looks like a Smart Phone.
Took the Boss to the Dealer today for Track Key install.
First they wanted a code that was supposed to have been sent to me. Never got one. OK, they can still install for $150. Next the Service write up guy says they need a kit from Ford that costs $300. Why don't the Dealers know this or tell...
Several web-sites are showing supposedly Ford released prices for the 2013 Boss.
In case you have not seen this:
Base Boss is $42,995, about 2G's over the 2012.
LS is $49,990
Recaro/Torsen option is $1995.
March Motor Trend has a Camero ZL1 (580 HP) vs a Boss LS (444 HP).
They gush over how great the Camero is.
They should have tested the Camero against a Fiesta then they could really talk up the Chevy.
Why not a 12 GT500? Probably because it would have shown up the C.
Just MO.
Picked up a 2013 Boss Order Guide from my dealer today.
Little change from 2012, Recaro Seats and car cover the only options.
No Nav. Syst. and Syc. is std. Still has black wheels except LS.
Gotta Have it Green Metallic is extra cost. Grabber Blue replaces Kona.
Dealer has ordered 2 cars and...
There is a School Bus Yellow LS on a pedestal that you can't get close to and a Lime Green Regular one open to get in.
The Interior is identical to the 12's except that a Nav Sys and Sync. are available. No satelite radio standard. Am sure most of U know of the exterior changes.
I'll have a...
My 08 Shelby GT Vert has a squeak when hitting a bump that comes from the rear, perhaps the urethane sway bar bushings. WD40 stops it for a while. Any SGT owners with similar prob?
Also, a vibration in 5th gear under load, mostly around 40 mph. Could be exhaust system.???
04 Mystichrome is gone, have 2004 Mustang Shop Manual (includes Cobra) for sale.
Like new, paid around $180; sell for $70 + shipping.
Pay Pal OK.

Got tired of corroding & peeling bead seats and leaking tires, cheap China made chrome rims. Had chrome stripped (powder coat won't stick to chrome) rims powder and clear coated. No more leaks. Not as pretty as chrome, but, as a daily driver in Michigan salted winter roads, better than before.
Sorry to vent my frustation, but, my 2 year old 18" 04 repro rims are not only peeling in the bolt holes working to the surface, but are also peeling and corroding on the bead seats causing the tire to lose pressure.
$20 bucks a wheel to dismount and grind the beads to stop the leaks...
According to an article in today's (May 15) "Automotive News," Dealers are going to ask $10 to $15 G's over sticker for the GT 500's. Talking to my Dealer rep today who said Ford will not allow selling on "A" plan either. I will wait a couple years to buy!
