...it's rapid red with painted black stripes which is not really what I want. The dealership said that the car has already been produced and should be arriving in a week or two. The good thing about the car is that it's available soon and it took me some looking just to find a dealership that...
did some searching the American muscle stripes seemed to have good reviews. My issue is that I am getting my cobra R hood tomorrow and I can't just get a new OE hood stripe kit because my new hood does not have a heat extractor vent like the stock hood. anyone know
Ok, here's the thing, I'm having a difficult time finding out an answer to this one. I suspect that the corsa is probably a little more mellow than the Ford Racing exhaust. Is there anybody that has heard both of them in person that can comment on this? The Ford Racing exhaust sounds amazing...
So I decided to go ahead and spend the money and get myself an RPS BC3 for the GT500. I know a $3500 clutch probably isn't for everyone, but I had this same clutch in my 2009 ZR1 and also in my 2011 ZR1. After having two RPS billet carbon triple clutches, as well as an assortment of other...
Wow guys, I undecided on this mod for quite some time, and then randomly I decided to order one just not long ago. I now wish I hadn't waited. I'm thoroughly impressed with this thing.
I am VERRRRRY picky about my mods, particularly aftermarket exhausts and shifters, but I was in love...
My 3.6 is here thanks to Revan racing. I'm just waiting on my Cervini Cobra R hood which should be here in a few days hopefully. The hood is supposed to shut with no motor mount swap or k member spacers required. Anyone have any last minute recommendations for the install?
Thanks :)
This was my very first batch of mods for this car. The traction situation was not good with the stock Goodyear tires.
I added
Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in the stock sizes
BMR lower control arms, non adjust, spherical bearing one end, poly on the other end
BMR upper control arm...
I like it. In my opinion the street manners penalty is exaggerated somewhat by many who probably haven't ever been in a car with a Detroit locker before. If you can't tolerate a Detroit on the street, sell your Mustang as you've gone soft ;)
On a more serious review, there are a number of...
The tires have been used one time for racing. They were purchased new yesterday. 5 passes were made on them last night. I'm going with a full drag pack I've decided. These are real GM C5Z front wheels not reproductions. I will pull the tires off the wheels if you want just the tires. $500...
Stage 3 heads/cam 3rd gear roll. Video taken at an airport runway that was closed. My car made just over 600 rwhp when it was almost 105 degrees outside.

Yeah, I know, I know...it's kinda lame how short the video is, but even getting this short video to turn out so you could...
So I'm thinking now that the info regarding the 2013 model has been released this might be a good time to buy a new 2012 coming right up here. I wanted one this summer, but at the last second I ended up holding out and saving up for a few more months.
I've came across a couple of deals...
I'm posting this in this section because it is just a general question not related to any one specific engine. I figured someone might be on here and know how to explain this.
So, it is my understanding that as far as bearing caps go, powdered metal would be the lowest in strength, nodular...
Here's the details:
2003 Sonic Blue cobra
17k miles
JLT cold air
Magnaflow catback
315 BFG g-force T/A KD rear tires
$24,000
It's a clean car inside and out. I really don't want to sell it, but there has been an unexpected change in my living situation and I need cash so the car...
I now have the following mods...
JLT CAI
Magnaflow catback
otherwise stock...
I notice at WOT that the supercharger whine is very noticeable even with the stock pulley now that I have the JLT installed...The whine gets increasingly louder and higher pitched as RPM increases, BUT then...
Got the job finished last night. I put some new plugs in it at the same time because I was having a very slight rough idle. The gap was WAY small on one of the stock plugs...not sure how this happened. I didn't check it but if I had to guess I'd say .020" maybe less. Anyway, the new plugs...
What offers the most traction for a 17x10.5 rear wheel without being wobbly and unstable? I don't care about rain performance or tread life. What's my best bet probably a 315 BFG DR? I know nitto makes a 315 but all the nittos DRs I've had before kinda sucked for traction. I hear the MT ET...
The heater in my car is really noisy, but it hardly blows any air. It will divert the air the way it should when you switch between defroster, floor and vent, etc, but the air doesn't come out very hard even on number 4. Are they all like this or does it sound like I have a problem? I found...
Under light acceleration My car makes a ticking that sounds to me just like an exhaust manifold leak. It's not very loud and you can't hear it at higher rpm or at idle. I thought I read about another guy having this noise and it turned out to be something other than an exhaust leak, but I...
Finally bought a terminator today (pics added)
I just got home after driving halfway across the country to pick it up. It's a 03 sonic blue. 15k on it. The car is pretty much stock other than catback and tires. I really like the car so far. I have a slight tick under light acceleration...
