But an all aluminum block weighs about 125lbs. Good place to start. The 5L can apparently crack the 12's with some minor mods and good tires. Imagine what it would be like at 3100 lbs?

Hi everyone, After years of slugging away at an old 6-banger and fixing this and fixing that, I have made up my mind... I am getting it restomodded. The car isn't special enough to warrant a restoration and keeping it original, and I drive it regularly enough during the summer that I...

Anyone watch this show on Speed? Tonight I caught the GT500 vs Camaro and Viper vs Corvette ZR-1. Pretty entertaining. Patrick

As good as the new 2011 5-liter GT Mustang is what changes would you like to see in future versions? I'll start. Weight: (Disclaimer -- It could weigh 3,200 pounds and I'd like to see 3,000; 3,000 and I'd like to see it under 3,000, etc.) But the current 3,600 is too chunky. Pony cars, IMO,...

Classic Mustang Analyzer V.7.0 has been released by John Palmisano. Quite nice actually.... and on the opening screen, you will find my 65 Fastback I am proud to say. So, cruise on over to http://cma.itgo.com and check it out. Great for tracking everything from restoration and upgrades to car...

Is it true you have to rev it up to 6500 to get full HP and/or torque? Isn't that people stay away from ricers? So they don't end up having to do ring jobs every 15k?

I think Ford is doing a lot of things right! I purchased a 2010 Ford Flex in January that I'm very pleased with. It's not quite a car or SUV and shares the same platform as the Taurus and 2011 Explorer. I saw many Flexes on a recent trip to the South and SE US. but I don't see many up here in the...

Don't recall seeing any lately.

I have a black 2000 GT. What will look good as a replacement headlight set. (Mine are scuffed up pretty badly). I want the car to look cool but not too flashy. I'm over 40 :-)

how do you get the top up or down when all you get is a click from the relays?????

Hi Just an FYI on fox body I had to run an extra ground wire from computer to fuel pump to chassie ground near battery. Because the chassie ground near battory is not that good, it has a brass self taping screw which does corode over long time. this causes very wierd stuff, car dosent want to...

I just need some headlights and tail-lights replaced on 2000 Mustang. American Muscle site has fairly nice selection. Are they ok or are there better sources? Thanks Mark

Seems the next SRT Challenger will get at 450HP. http://www.allpar.com/cars/dodge/challenger/challenger-2011.html Patrick

From AB We've just gotten off the horn with Ford's SVT performance division, and we've learned that the Blue Oval's hot-rod arm is going to limit production of the 2011 Shelby GT500 to 5,500 units for this model year. According to Ford spokesman Henry Platts, the move is not the result of slow...

Here's a nice car. http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/?op=display_ad&id=1097076&refer=news Patrick

Seems the subject of a V8 LX Mustang keeps popping up. Word is Ford has been giving serious consideration to a de-contented 5-liter in six-cylinder trim. Lets keep our fingers crossed! Patrick

What is the correct tire size for base model GT with V6? 15" rims, I think 205/65 but not sure and also correct speed rating. Thanks Shawn

Hi, Car can start but runs very ragged and quits, misfires sometimes battery good, 12.6, but dash meter in car shows low voltage (never showed this low) any ideas?
