For all SS hood owners I would like an honest opinion of what you like and dislike about your hood. I'm split bwteen going the VMP route or the KB 3.6 route...which requires the hood. First I will say I love the looks! However OEM is OEM. I'm very worried about fit and finish. Will it latch like...
2014 stock GT 500. I'm split between the GEN II VMP with JLT and associated Throttle body or a KB 3.6 with a SS hood. I have done TONS of research and just can't make my mind up. I want a drivable and reliable vehicle that can still be tracked on a road course. Heatsoak is a concern! I really do...
I just got back from the TX Mile. What a blast! Anyway I was very impressed with the Turbo Kits on some of the 5.0's. Amazing power! 200+ Mile speeds and totally drivable. So much so that I am thinking of buying the Hellion Twin Turbo Kit for my 500......and yes I plan to keep my stock TVS also...
So what do you think? I have only had two real performance cars, my current 2014 GT500 and a 1999 E36 M3. I am a big proponent of factory engineering due to manufacture durability and warranty concerns. It was very satisfying just how much hard use my stock BMW could handle over the miles, with...
So I have a few month left on my bumper to bumper warranty. Don't know how many of you have experienced the Mustang lower A arm bushing thump sound or squeak. Car and Driver had it in their long term Mustang GT and there is a recall. In some cars its worse than others and basically consists of a...
Sorry guys. Simple question but sometimes its easier to just ask. Which aftermarket superchargers fit under the stock hood with no lowering kit and no K member problems? Also what is the general opinion on the best non carbon brake kit out there for 13-14 GT500's?
Title says it all. Obviously I want to move up in power, so no smart ass remarks on installing a smaller blower! My understanding is that the KB 2.8 will not fit, it too requires a hood or the engine lowering kit that is included in the kit. What about Whipple? Specifically the 2.9? Thanks.
Have a bone stock 14 that is not even broken in yet. Better yet, I have yet to get on it from a standing start. Regardless given the potential in these cars, and like many of you, my passion for more power, and the vast aftermarket support my head is always in the clouds thinking of...
Ok,
I will apologize up front, because I know this topic has already been discussed, its just that I am too busy to go searching for it! With the intro of the New Challenger and its 1/4 mile times it is obviously a good "hole shot" car. I have yet to run my 2014 GT500 on the track when...
Ok,
So the manual states a 7500 miles oil change under normal driving conditions (lol.....like that's possible with 662hp). But as you guys know the 13-14 GT 500's still have the regular Mustangs service reminder....that I may add determines oil schedule based on vehicle use. Now I am a...
Ok,
Car is brand new with just over 3000 miles. I have noticed that at very low speeds when I go over speed bumps there is a distinctive metallic "thunk" coming from the front end. Sounds like metal on metal. And no, I have never gone Smokey and the Bandit on the car and jumped...
Just wondering. I only got $8 under sticker.....read MSRP not dealer markup.....for my loaded 14. How did everyone else do? I think I could have gone a few hundred lower, but I could no longer order the car, and when I found it, it was perfect.
Have a new 2014. Less than 3000 miles, never abused. Since I drove it off the lot I have noticed a fair amount of driveline slack that appears to be coming from the rear end. It is not detectable when driving around town, but at low rpm's in 6th gear when touching and letting off the gas pedal...
Would make sense. What better place to ring out a Trinity GT 500..........
I actually went to the website and started reading the rules/regulations today.
Popular Mechanics ran an older GT 500 there, it redlined at 184 mph. You really can't get a safer place to open one up.
Recently picked up my 2014. The splitter was already on it, after a week I took it off. All I got back was the 3 pieces of plastic that clip together. Since I never saw the box that it came in, what am I missing? I have read about 8 metal clips on-line, and an instruction manual for installation.
