    Opportunity Cost | What Did We Miss-Out-On Because of the GT350's FPC 5.2L VooDoo V8?

    Interesting information. But I believe that there were lessons Ford learned from this project that we are now beginning to witness and that will benefit drivetrain development in the long run. These lessons would not have been learned had the 5.2 not been FPC. The lengths gone to in order to...

    I have non-op'd my '03 for the last couple years after some kind soul scraped mine off in a parking lot. scraped a ton of paint, dented the fender, and tore the scoop to smithereens. I have been out of the scene for a few years after I bought a new daily driver and temporarily retired the...

    2003 Cobra Heater Core bypass?

    Not sure if this is the right department, but I need help! I have searched this forum and not come up with the exact help I need. Youtube has exactly one video of the info I need, but the video SKIPS the part I actually need! Basically, I replaced my heater core last year. A couple...

    Car did not pass smog test?

    I just took my car with a near brand new engine to the test center and it ended up being a gross polluter... :( I had the exact same set up with an old and busted engine and it passes cleanly two years ago. One change - my blower is now ported and has been tuned accordingly. perhaps...

    BAD clutch noise after warmed up - NEW CLUTCH!

    OK. I had a new engine and new clutch, flywheel, pilot bearing (ford racing), throwout bearing and retainer sleeve (lethal) put in at a good shop a little over three months ago. I have broken the engine and clutch in gingerly and have been saving to get my car dyno tuned. In the meantime, I...

    New Engine installed (strange sound art 1500-2000 RPM?)

    I have been saving my poor pennies for nearly two years to get a new engine in my car (reman Ford). Finally had it done. Great work by the shop. They seem to have gone the extra mile. While putting in the engine, I had a brand new Centerforce Dual Friction clutch, Fidanza aluminum...

    Take may car to the shop and now it has a bad fan?

    Just had my engine replaced at the shop. Now I get a phone call telling me that while they were burping the cooling system, that the fan no longer works? arrghh! I have heard of these fans going bad at various mileages. Perhaps after sitting with a bad engine, the fan locked up? anyone...

    A guy's best movie summer ever.

    I was browsing movie trailers on apple.com when something struck me. This Summer. 2011 - is the best movie summer in the history of movies. Not due to any ONE title. But each could carry the summer on its own. I am totally as nerdly excited as I can be. Think of it: Cars 2, Transformers 3...

    will changing the rear end (differential)provide better traction?

    My cobra is down for a while awaiting a new engine and doing some suspension work, chassis stiffening, wider rear tires, and modest weight reduction in the meantime. One thought that came up as I was talking with my friends is the possibility of swapping out the rear end with a new Torsen...

    Best California Street Legal headers?

    i am in the process of swapping out my old and busted terminator engine (head tick gone horribly awry...) and am researching exhaust while I am at it. My dream system would be a Borla Stinger catback with Bassani Catted X (but hearing conflicting reports as to its legality) and a set of...

    2013 shelby GT500 to boast 620 HP

    'bout time. For the money, the Shelby is a beast, but now it's going to be even meaner. Car and Driver has spotted a test mule running the new engine which has two surprises: 1) a 5.8 liter displacement. 2) An Eaton TVS supercharger (ala ZR1, CTS-V, ZL1) Apparantly, the horsepower...

    Z/28 (Mustang rip-off) Bumblebee t-Bones cop on TF3 set

    Just saw the Z/28 from the dark side. Well, the Transformers version to be exact, but we all know it should be pretty faithful as bumblebee is a glorified advert for the Camaro. A low speed crash pretty much demolished the front end of the Z and sadly, the policeman driving the SUV had to be...

    Need new shocks, etc. suggestions?

    My Terminator has 80K on it now and is my daily driver. Recently I had to slam the brakes to avoid hitting a Mitsubishi that pulled right in front of me and slammed on theirs. After that, I noticed my car feels sloshy on a winding road that I drive every weekend. I am guessing it is past...
