Hey guys,
I have owned an '07 GT500 since new (Nov 2006) and only drive it 800 or so miles a year, been 100% stock engine and no mods for its entire life. I have done oil changes every year and wanted to get all fluids flushed so I went to Ford and had them do everything I can think of such...
You take your SUV to the drag strip!
I had a chance to take my X3 M40i to the track with the MP Stage 2 tune installed to see what I can do.
Specs.
MP Stage 2 Tune
96 Octane (E30)
4475 race weight
THAT'S IT... no modifications anywhere else - stock intake, stock exhaust, stock wheel, stock...
Hey guys,
I have a 2007 GT500 with around 11K miles with stock tires still on the car since 2007. While the tires have seen rain 4 times and have always been in a garage at night, I know tires shouldn't be run on the street after a certain amount of time for the safety of myself and others, so...
Was able to head to the track this weekend with a fellow Edge owner and see if we can break our old records of 13.4xx.
Conditions were pretty good, -500 to -1300 DA as the night went on.
One of the most frustrating things I have with this car is the inability to cut anything less than...
Hey guys,
Had an opportunity to take my Edge Sport to the track this weekend. Had 2 runs but will head back in May for some better times -
2015 Edge Sport (CAR 8909)
10,xxx miles
LMS 93 Octane Tune
K&N Filter
Otherwise 100% stock car.
13.478 @ 100.96 was my best time.
I have had the 93 LMS tune for a while and have done a couple tests including adding a K&N filter (which made the car around .1 seconds faster for just a panel filter), and recently I had the opportunity to test out the 91 aggressive tune plus firmer shifting tune from LMS
"The transmission...
Hey guys,
So based on the previous topic of VBOX tests I have done -

I really wanted to get a test done to understand how much you can gain from...
Hey guys,
So now that my car is broken in a bit more I am starting to perform some testing to see how my 0-60 changes with different driving methods. Today's test is a stock test measuring 0-60 between Drive and Sport mode in the transmission.
I did something similar with my GLi...
Help my g/f win a contest v.392 - pic up!
Hey guys,
There is a Halloween contest for our puppy to win a bunch of prizes.
All you have to do is like the pic linked below, it takes a few seconds and you don't even have to like the page, just her photo that they posted (the dalmatian in the...
Hey guys, just making sure I know of all the changes that has happened to the engine from 07 to 08-11 that can be changed out pretty easily.
So far I have
08'+ Harmonic Balancer
11'+ Larger Heat Exchanger
Anything else I am missing?
Hello,
In the state of Rhode Island,(from what I hear) your first speeding ticket is dismissed in court (some sort of a freebie every 3 years?). Will a dismissed speeding ticket increase your insurance rates?
Thanks
Hey Guys,
In Rhode Island, you need to get your car inspected within 5 days of registering the car. I of course did not do this (oops!) and now have a Suspension Letter from the DMV for A2 FAIL.OBBTAIN INSPECTN CERT. I assume now I have to pay a fine and get my car inspected ASAP.

I am thinking of shipping a car from Europe - England (not expensive, maybe $2000-$3000 USD) and was wondering how hard it is to ship the car and how expensive it is. The only thing different about the car is it is right hand drive, everything is US spec on it - bumpers/airbags/emissions/etc...

Wanted to know how fast my buddies Cayman S with exhaust is vs. my Stock Bullitt (315 hp). They matched up pretty well from 40ish to 95ish, but when you see the video you can see how aerodynamics and weight play a big roll when going faster.
Bullitt - stock / 3450 lbs about
Cayman S -...
So I took the 2008 Bullitt from New Jersey to Rhode Island - about 240 miles. Overall a trip that takes about 3.5 - 4 hours depending on how fast you want to drive. I like to save gas and squeeze every MPG I can out of my cars to see how well they really do. So here are the results
