    Brake Dust

    Thanks for the tip on G-Loc!! Since I got all 4 scrubbed good while changing the tires, I'll see how fast it dusts again. I'll look into these pads soon but most of my attention now is on my new to me time capsule 2013 Roush Raptor. 8 years old and 24,000 miles - like new!

    Baby needs new shoes

    Tires were hard to find here in Arkansas! Wound up going with the Pilot Super Sport in stock sizes for $345 per tire, mounted, balanced and tax in. Since we really don't run the car hard and will not track it, we're happy and so is my billfold! Thanks for all the input guys!!!

    New GT350 or keep '14 RS5

    We started with an 09 GT500 and went to a 12 GT500 - BIG difference and then had to settle for a more "Adult" car for several years. Understand, these were my wife's car and she is a Mustang freak. Got her a new 17 GT with 6 speed and Recaro seats (she was 66 at the time) and it was nice, BUT -...

    Baby needs new shoes

    Thinking about that as actually the Invos are just a bit more expensive!! Don't need the Sport Cup 2 as we will not track the car. Thanks!

    Baby needs new shoes

    Our non-R threw a shoe last night so it's time for new tires now. Used Nitto Invo on our GT and the handling was super but sizes are not right for the non-R If I spec the R with 305/30 19 and 315/30 19 they are available. Or, I can spend more $ and go back with the factory Michelins. The car...

    Brake Dust

    Anyone else notice a quick buildup of dust on the wheels? (Sorry, not rims - I'm old school) Ours has only 6K on the clock but seems like there is a large amount of dust that builds up pretty quickly. Anybody have luck installing different pads?

    Lot's of Engine Failures - Does not seem like isolated issue

    Our 17 was bought new in Texas (non R) and I know the previous owner. At just over 6,000 miles it has used no oil between changes. We don't however drive it that much as it's the wife's car and it may go once a week to the bowling alley a few miles away! LOL When I do get to drive it though, I...

    Question on the Gen 2 motor ?

    Difference in price 350 vs. 500? Sort of a moot point if you're buying new as the 350 is out. Can't believe I'm going to say this since I'm an ex pro stock racer but maybe I'm older and occasionally wiser, but horsepower only counts if you can hook it up. I know our 12 had to have drag radials...

    Question on the Gen 2 motor ?

    We bought a GT500 PP new in 2012 and it was an awesome car after we sold our 2009 GT500. The power curve on the 12 was brutal but without drag radials first gear would bang off the rev limiter immediately. This year we got a 2017 GT350 with 4,000 miles on the clock. It had already had long tube...

    So many new guy questions... Sorry!

    You only need to make 1 small hole in the battery cover which is plastic, no biggie!

    What Would Equal Length Headers Do?

    When we bought ours with 4,000 miles it already had American Racing long tubes which appear to be pretty much equal length and a Corsa X pipe with high flow cats installed by Dallas Mustang before they went out of business. I saw the dyno slip showing 503 at the wheels when they did the tune...

    Couple questions

    I just finished working with Lund on the nGauge and tune and they did an awesome job! Using the data log they even found an issue where the fuel trims were out of balance sided to side and suggested an exhaust leak on the passenger side. Sure enough, there was a crack in the high flow cat on the...

    Tough decision, need guidance.

    Been there, done that! We had a lightly modded 17 GT with 6 speed, Recaro seats, wheels & tires and some other mods. My Son is the finance manager at our local dealership and we saw where they traded for an extra clean 17 GT350 with 4,011 miles so we decided to look. First thing we found was a...
