My brother just called me to tell me he just pulled up next to a "Superman" Hardtop GT500 ( Blue w Red Stripes) in Miami. I asked how he knew it was a 2013.... he told me about the 4 tips out the back and the no grill....he said it looked like a Cobra head lol. The cars are being delivered...

Next week I'll be in for my 1st ever tune. Should I make sure to tell the guy tuning the truck to make his runs with OD off? This shop is new to me and they seem to know what they are doing but I wanna be sure i cover all the bases. OD off for dyno runs???? Right?????

Guys, Next week I'm heading for a custom tune and dyno session, first stock and then getting the custom tune by Torq performance. I'm buying a XC3 Tuner, a 2lb lower pullie, and WAS gonna get the Volant CAI. After doing some searches on the forum it seems like most don't care for the...

Hello to all.... I was on this forum many years ago back in 2002 when I was known as 2001SVTMAN. I owned a black 2001 L and loved every second of it. Around 2003 I found out my girl at the time was prego with my son...hence the L had to go. I lost touch and left the forums... since then I've...

On my way home from the track yesterday, I met up w/ this kid in an older M-3, I think it was a 98/97.AnyWay after running a 13.095 I was feeling pretty confident. So on the way home me and my brother in his 5.0 GT see this white M-3 comming fast. So my brother takes a crack @ him first. No...

This morning after my morning meeting, all of us headed for our cars. So I calmly take off on my happy way, then I see this friend of mine who has a nice Audi T.T. behind me. I knew he would try his luck, so before I turned on to the straight away, I turned the Over drive off. So there he comes...

When I'm in the drivers side of my L, I hear what seems to be a squeeky side skirt can't tell if that's what it is though....it also happens when I'm rolling slowly but only from the drivers side though. Has anyone else heard this sound? I'm also thinking it might be the WD-40 I squirt under...

The kill was on Wednesday after work, it was around 10.00 pm. I pulled up into Wendy's and as I'm trying to order I see this young kid w/ some of his friends foolin around. Then one of them screams "hey that looks like your truck" when I turned my head turns out the kid has a 2001 blk L. His has...

It was about 2 wks ago, I had just gotten my baby back from the body shop and I was happy as hell (still am:) So any way, I pull up to a light, and there's a car in front of me, but that's ok. That car wasn't the problem, it was the Acura next to me. He pulls up in this bad ass (for a ricer)...
