    Lightning Blue 17R - Man what a ride

    I very good friend helped me get in the driver seat of the new R. Amazing car, the hype is real and the car feels like a high end exotic. Coming from an 03 Cobra this is a different kettle of fish but smooth power and higher strung are two phrases I would use. The drive has made me...

    View from Drivers seat

    I have driven 2 new Mustangs, one a V-6 Rental and the other an Eco Boost. I did it mostly for ergonomic fit and feel. The car fits me well and the driving position reminds me of my 89 5L GT, and not the cramped feeling I have in my 03 Cobra. The view from the drivers seat has the two...

    I want both - Track pack and Technology package in GT350

    If I'm reading all of this correctly it appears that these packages are mutually exclusive, you can't have both. Why? Maybe through the evolution of the car for a few model years they would allow both. If I went with a technology package car how hard and expensive would it be to install...

    Driveline slop/snatch - how to eliminate?

    The great thing about this car is that the aftermarket has been able to fix many of the cars issues. I'm sick of the driveline slop and wondered what mods help in removing it. I'm planning MM four bushings, billetflow diff brace, and 14MM bolts in the front of the IRS. Will that work...

    Tall People with after market seats/brackets

    Ok, I'm 6'2" 223 and in my convertible the car is ok with the top down but with the roof up I'm claustrophobic. Who has aftermarket seats and brackets that allow you sit lower and have more leg room. I'm looking for seats that don't break the bank but match the black/grey leather -alcantra...

    Going to Steigemeier's this spring for a Stage 5 with a 2.93 pulley. Right now my exhaust is stock and the car is stock except for a K&N air filter, sub frame connecters, and a shifter. I'm not sure I want to change the exhaust, sometimes I enjoy the mellow quiet sound (it helps a Redfire...
