    FoMoCo Built a Turbo Diesel Fox Body??? | NPD's Mark VII Lincoln Continental | BMW Hybrid???

    Yea, so diesel tech in the 80's in the states was, to say the least, pretty undesirable. While it's a cool rare car, I would say it's rare because no one wanted it. I prefer the mark VIII to other generations of the mark. I owned a 1998 model that was built in the final month of production...

    2020 vs 2013 Shelby GT500 Comparision: An Owners Perspective.

    That was quite a well thought out and executed write up. With any muscle car, though, the question of what is better is always based on personal experience and opinion. My 13GT is more than capable of leaving a standard 13 Shelby. As the OP stated, traction can be and is an issue. Even with...

    2023 F-150 Raptor R | 5.2L Supercharged V8 | 700 HP & 640 lb.-ft. | Proof Ford Knows What We Want

    Actually, Ford corporate has become irritated to the point of taking action against dealers selling over msrp. Chrysler started penalizing all dealers who sold over MSRP a while back. If you are found doing it, they take away your allotment for high demand vehicles. It sounds like Ford is...

    2023 F-150 Raptor R | 5.2L Supercharged V8 | 700 HP & 640 lb.-ft. | Proof Ford Knows What We Want

    The removal of the 6.2 was disappointing to say the least. Yes, the 6TT is pretty quick (even I'll admit such since I have a regular one and was more than surprised by the punch after tuning) but there is an old saying that is never wrong. "There is no replacement for displacement."...

    2023 F-150 Raptor R | 5.2L Supercharged V8 | 700 HP & 640 lb.-ft. | Proof Ford Knows What We Want

    No matter how much they want us to think that EV's are in demand, vehicles like this prove the ICE is the king. LONG LIVE THE KING.

    2022 F-150 Lightning EV | Driving Impressions & First Look | Game Changer

    As someone who once worked for a Ford dealer, there was one general rule of thumb we all knew well and never spoke about. NEVER buy the first model of anything. They are plagued with issues. They live in the service department for an inordinate amount of time. Idiotic people pay absurdly...

    2021 Gen-3 Ford F-150 Raptor | Undercarriage Inspection | Weird Stuff Found

    Yea no. First off, a twin turbo factory Raptor has been tweaked fully by Ford. Different heads, tune etc. Not to mention it's a $100k truck designed for offroad vs what a gen 2 whipple standard f150 that is half the price when they are on what, gen 5 whipples?. It's well known that a gen 5...

    Quick Look & Dyno Numbers | 2022 Ford Maverick | 5 Star Tuning

    I have to agree. The Ranger is absurdly high priced when you option it out. Like not far from an F150. The Maverick however offers the entry price point very close to what a new Ford Explorer was in 1992. That is a hard act to pull off, 30 years later.

    Quick Look & Dyno Numbers | 2022 Ford Maverick | 5 Star Tuning

    I guess if that's the size you want it is far better than a Honda Ridgeline

    The 2022 Bronco Raptor is Here | Take My Money!!!

    So they act like the 3.0 Twin Turbo is something special. Lincoln was using it almost a decade ago. They say 400HP like it is amazing......the Lincoln version with AWD has had 400 HP since it's first year and today the average minivan is just under 400hp. Ford is just rebadging, renaming and...

    2021 Gen-3 Ford F-150 Raptor | Undercarriage Inspection | Weird Stuff Found

    Why do so many act like a blown little motor is so great vs an NA V8? There is the old adage, there is no replacement for displacement. If you toss a twin turbo setup on the old 6.2 then who you gonna lay your money down on in a race? And no, there is no exhaust system that will make a V6...

    Car continues running after pushing off button

    So I've searched the net inside out and upside down and found 5 or 6 references to this. 2019 Mustang Ecoboost Premium with 35000 miles. Technically it's my daughters car, but anyway I changed the front lower grill out along with the upper grill and after putting it all back together (Not sure...

    Shelby Kicker Powerstage subwoofer kit for 2011-2014 Coupe only

    Don’t know. My daughters 09 is a vert and it does not fit those no matter how you try to work it.
