    New Focus ST3 in White

    Picked up my Focus ST3 last week, as I was board with the Titanium after 5 months and had an ST 2 years ago. I forgot how much fun this car is as it comes, but of course it needs a few mods. Also dealer threw me a set of oem wheels and tires so I could mount Blizzacks for the winter. Just...

    Holy crap what a difference

    I had the resonators cut out and the clutch helper spring removed. The car sounds so freaking good you just can't help put want to drive it to hear it. That spring f*cks up the clutch feel completely. Once removed it actually feels like a clutch without the artificial softness and vagueness...

    Whiloe waiting on the gt350 a hellcat is falling from the sky

    While waiting on the gt350 a hellcat is falling from the sky I am grateful for a dealer that builds long term relationships. He called me for his first GT350 allocation at MSRP and asked if I wanted it, and of course I said yes. Then he called me last week and asked if I wanted a Challenger...

    Hit by the bug

    Ever since they first announced the 662HP 2013 GT500 I knew somehow I would get one. My local dealer is very small and I bugged them to sign up for the program, but they did not. So I let the whole thing go until their sister dealership showed they had a pure stock no options black car on...

    base model no options

    My dealer has a black/black base 2014 sitting around and I have a bug up my butt to buy a new car. I buy and sell my cars almost every year, so just wondering for those who bought a base model if there are any regrets......Thanks.....Steve

    Can Anybody Confirm This BS

    From Stangnet Yesterday's broadcast from Ford had information about bunch of new models and line ups for 07 , and they took 1 minute to mention this about Shelby: " 2007 Mustang Shelby GT500 production will start early June for a late July release. EVERY Ford-dealer gets at least ONE...

    If they are making 10-15K why ADM at all??

    I don't understand the numbers. My dealer is only confident in getting 3. If they are making so many, why would he think this. I would expect enough to satisfy the demand of the lunatic fringe, which I am a proud member of leaving enough left over for less crazy folks at MSRP. I would...

    Had a nice run with a new Lotus Esprit

    See a red Lotus getting on the highway behind me a bit. So I watch to see if he wants to play and he does. This is a very new 2002 Lotus Esprit GSpirt in red....a very sharp looking car. He is behind me and I see him get on it, so I downshift to see if he can catch up but he can't and I put...

    Wrecked My Car (Part II)

    Spun my car into the center divider yesterday. They are adding up the damages, around $9-$12k they don't know how bent it is until they put it on the rack. So far they are pushing to fix it. It is hard to believe that they can make the car look and drive like new again. Said it would take a...

    Has anyone found a tuner that we can trust with an 03 Cobra somewhere close to Chicago, IL. I rather dyno tune then order a pre tuned chip. Any help is appreciated.....Steve

    Upper or Lower Pulley?

    If you don't consider cost would you choose to swap the upper pulley or the lower. I am thinking lower is better to prevent belt slip. I know it cost more and looks like more work to install. What do you guys think? Also once you got 450+rwhp/tq are gears (410s) necessary for better 1/4...

    Magnaflow Cat Back Is Da BOMB!

    Had Magnaflow installed this morning, I also have Bassani X and I tell you I am in LOVE all over again with this car. For me this combination is exactly right. Anyone still thinking about it, do not hesitate, it is NOT too loud. It sounds like an angry V8 at WOT and kind of screams. But just...

    Pics of Black Vert For anyone interested

    My old dealer who is asking way to much for Cobras is now sitting on three of them, so I took some pics of the black vert for anyone interested. I hope these asswipes sit on them until they have to sell for MSRP or less. And then one of you guys go pick one up :D
