I 100% agree. Nothing that can’t be fixed by someone with a set of wrenches and a jack! I read an article years ago about putting Ford Super Duty brakes on a GMT400 and that allegedly made a world of difference, plus you could buy wear parts at any auto store.

I’ve driven tons of old trucks (which is what these are now) and the GMT400 is no worse than any of the others. They all have mushy brake pedals, but they’re perfectly acceptable. the face-lifted interior that came some time in the mid to late 90s is the one to have. Fords of this era still had the dueling I-beam…

Vintage hydroplane is BEST hydroplane!

I agree. Here’s my theory: I think it might be coming from focus groups. They have 5 cars with 5 different damping strategies and have a bunch of people who know nothing about cars drive around a test track. Then they ask them “which one felt sporty?” Most non-technical people associate jittery ride with sporty feel.…

Here’s a pic I snapped before the last time I reset it. Did this on a trip to Minnesota in the summer with a trunk full of rifles and 2 weeks of luggage. It gets better when the air isn’t on and it isn’t full of crap. My father’s auto C5 gets exactly the same, as do most of the guys in the forums.

I 100% agree that Mustangs have a weight problem. I’e driven a ton of S550s and keep coming to the same conclusion: I’d buy a GT Performance Pack if 3 things were fixed:

Yeah, I’m down to a pretty consistent 24.5 around town. Same as my old Civic Si

That’s about the same mileage I get with my 17 year old Corvette (consistent 33 mpg)

It’s extremely FWD biased on the existing models. I assume the system will be similar in the Sport.

We here in Detroit feel your pain:

The auto industry!

In the opinion of this automotive aerodynamicist, I don’t think the side dents do nearly as much as NASCAR (and the teams) thinks they do. As a general rule, pretty much everything between the wheel wells on the sides of the car is pointless, from an aerodynamics standpoint. The airflow separates at the nose and…

To be perfectly fair, I am always waiting for my roof to start leaking... but it hasn’t yet! When I was in high school in the 90s, my cousin bought a new Camaro and the T-tops on that leaked from day one. GM quality!

I daily drive my 99 (when it isn’t snowing) and haven’t had any problems. The car’s been perfect and consistently get’s well over 30 mpg too! The clutch is getting a little loud at idle (classic GM rattle), but my experience tells me it’ll happily do that for years. My dad’s 98 has 120,000 and he just replaced the…

I was at Silver Lake this weekend too, but I spent most of my time in the pool, teaching Statutory Grape how to swim...

An old cyclist once said that an old cyclist told him that cigarettes “opened up the lungs” for maximum performance!

The engine’s been sitting in the family race shop since the 90s. As far as we know, Ford may have one GT90 engine. We are pretty sure One-Eyed-Jack kept one after his “calibration” work on the program.

We’re still sitting on one of the GT90 development engines (minus the 4 snails). I kinda want to put it in a Town Car...

Quad turbo 6 liter V12 is NEVER UNNECESSARY.
