    Borla Stinger installed and...

    ...it added 22 horsepower!! As I am the official car moron of this site, I'm not sure how you guys will think those #'s are, but I think they're fairly impressive. The car was completely stock and all I added was the Stinger. The baseline run was 344.7 hp and 344.5 tq. After install the...

    Dyno test and A/F ???

    Ok so this will be my one stupid question of the day. I've never had a car dynoed before and I'm wondering what a fair price would be with and without an A/F test? The second part of the question is do you think it's worth having A/F done on a completely stock car? I'm going to have my...

    No more 03 orders being taken...

    Only 10th anniversary models and 04 orders. I just left my dealer and he showed me the fax from Ford saying they will not be taking any more orders for 03's. All orders in the system will be filled but no more new ones. Maybe one of the dealers on here can confirm, but I did see the letter...

    Zaino=Great customer service

    I jumped on the Zaino bandwagon in the late fall while waiting for my car to come in. Between the wait for the car and the crappy weather I never bothered to open the box. I finally cracked open the box Monday night to see what they sent. To my surprise the Z7 wash bottle was damaged at the...

    My first drive...impressions, problems

    Well, after 2 days of heavy rain and some warm temps, I could no longer resist temptation. I decided to see what my hard earned $39k got me. Let me tell you, I was very impressed!! I now finally understand most of the comments on this board. Yes, it is currently stock. I'm undecided if...

    It's coming in this week...Drive it or flatbed it???

    My car is finally coming in this week. What's your opinion...should I drive it home or get it flatbedded? Before I get flamed like the guy driving in the rain, here's the deal. We got 7 inches of snow last week. Suppose to get more this week. The ride home from the dealer is about 1 hour...

    Anyone else hear bad crankshafts as reason for prod. hold?

    I just had a conversation with my dealer. He was very happy that I referred ntechnic to him for the redfire vert, when he offhandedly mentions the production hold. He said he got nothing in writing, but instead spoke to some one inside who told him Ford got a couple of bad crankshafts from...

    Red Fire vert in CT

    I just got back from my dealer. He's got a Red Fire Red Convertible in his showroom for MSRP. Apparently the original owner got sick of waiting and went to TX to buy one. The car has 12.8 miles on it and seems to be pretty solid. Red Fire was my second choice (my order for black is...

    Quality hold vs warranty repair?

    OK so I'm bored and tired of trying to decifer why my build date has changed 5 times. And god knows the "quality hold" rumor mill is in 6th gear, redline. So I keep asking myself, self, would you rather have the car and have to keep bringing it back? Or would you rather wait and assume that...

    Here's my dilema

    I just got done reading 2 seemingly unrelated threads. One about being able to mod your car w/o warranty fear and Fords' reason for building the car. The other about dealers putting excess mileage on your car before you get a chance to pick it up and how to prevent it. Suddenly it dawned on...

    Need Reinforcement, how long did you wait?

    OK I know I sound a little pathetic, but I'm starting to get sick of waiting. On the LONG side only, how long did some of you guys wait? By reading this forum I certainly know what I'm in for, but the wait sucks. I ordered my convertible on 04/26, and my build date has been changed 3 times...

    Interesting rumor

    After my dealer got finished telling me that my build date has been switched again(10/14, then 10/7, now 10/28 WTF), he proceeds to tell me that Ford is bracing for a possible strike at their Windsor, Canada plant. Supposedly this is where some components of the engine are manufactured. I have...

    Pic's of Black Vert w/ top down?

    Does anyone have pictures of their black vert with the top down? I've been sitting on my order since 04/26 and the suspense is killing me! I thought a nice wallpaper would help pass the next few weeks (Supposedly getting build date this week). Thanks for helping out the new guy.
