    Two Classics, One Car

    I know I won't, because, at 62, I'm not as sharp as she is at 101. Great video, person and car. My first car was a '36 Packard in high school.

    GT 200MPH Speed Day/Mojave Mile Update Thread

    It was a great event for my family. My goal was to join the 200 mph club with a pulley and tune. I went blasting by it to 200.1, good enough. Since I had two other people to share the car with I quit after meeting the goal and turned the car over to Jenny, my 17 year old step daughter. After her...

    Speedo Calibration

    So, I know that the speed limiter is set to 205, and the Speedos tend to be optimistic above 150. If I want to really do 205, do I need to reset the limiter? In my car a GPS speed of 162 equals about 150 on the speedo. If the limiter user the same speed sensor, is it going to shut down at...

    Machine Screw Group Buy Interest?

    The price from ford is ridiculous. I lost a couple and figured they would be less that $1 ea. Wrong. I don't recall the torque spec but it is high so I suspect the Ford parts are hardened. I have started Torquing mine as I apparently lost the leading edge screws which allowed the air to get...

    Sonoma Historics

    Actually the Wine Country Classic has been going on for years and has always been run by Steve Earle, who started the Monterey Historics in 1972, and has run it ever since. This year the Monterey event will be produced by Laguna Seca, and run by HMSA. I hope both events succeed as they are...

    Sonoma Historics

    I saw you guys coming down the highway with the Vipers. I was in a Boxter on my way to Sonoma for some wine tasting and lunch. I was racing Thursday, Friday, and Sunday in a GT-350, so Sat was a pass day (see photo on left). It was a good weekend, but not up to par with the Monterey event. It...

    First Annual Mojave Mile Event

    When the turbo or supercharger is limited to a manifold pressure of about 15 psi (sea level), it is called normalizing. It makes the engine run the same as it would at sea level until the charger can no longer supply that amount boost. This technique requires a relief valve to maintain a...

    Need Diffuser Sheet Metal

    No luck find a used one. Are there any Ford Parts suppliers that discount MSRP? Ford wants $1577 for it, although they do have 50 in stock. Thanks, Craig AKA "Hot Dog"

    Need Diffuser Sheet Metal

    Hi, The leading edge of the diffuser apparently lost it's screws on the way to San Luis Obisbo from San Diego this weekend. The air caught it and bent it down enough to hit the pavement where it was then curled back under the car. The noise was horrendous, but when I saw the problem I proceeded...

    Fog Lights Warranty

    I took my '05 in for it's final check before the end of the warranty period last week. One of the issues was a slightly balky shifter, primarily in the side to side motion. It was just a little sticky. I thought all it needed was lubrication, but they ended up replacing both cables. Anyone else...

    Experience with trailer winches?
