    2014 GT was aligned by dealership about 6 months ago. Now the tires have developed uneven wear on the inner side, especially the right front. At simple view, it looks like the rims have excessive negative camber compared to the rear. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Question about Ford new 10 spd. auto tranny

    My '14 GT has an auto tranny and I'm pondering the future possibility of installing one of the new 10 spd. auto trans. from the 2017 F-150 onto my GT so I can run a 3.73 or a 3.90 rear gear set up. The car has a 3.15 as it is but if I do the taller gear, the rpm would be too high and the gas...

    Question about SCT X4

    I bought the SCT X4 for my '14 GT and I downloaded the canned tune with 93 octane. I always use Shell 93 at every fill up.

    Amazing race

    I was cruising today in my Shelby in the right lane in medium traffic when suddenly as I start to change lanes, a VW Passat (2010) is riding my bumper changing lanes at the same time. I accelerated a bit to increase the distance between cars and the guy in his mid 40s did the same thing trying...

    Front Plate

    Hi guys. I live in the Tampa Bay area and there is a good chance that me and my family will be moving to Houston later this year after living in FL since 1989.

    Code P0304

    My Shelby only has 4300 mi. and it started to run very rough with a lot of hesitation and the idle is very rough too. The code scanner says P0304 which is cylinder #4 misfire. The car is 100% stock except for the Borlas. Has anybody have the same problem? I don't abuse the car at all.
