    American Muscle Bullit Wheel Finish and Seal Failures

    Not certain that this is really a tech item... Just thought I should warn everyone: I've had the AmericanMuscle.com [formerly MustangTuning.com] antharcite bullets 18x10 on my car just under a year [rear] and the clear coat is already coming off the deep dish area. Their warranty on the...

    Predator or SCT: Can either of these turn off the TCS permanently?

    I'd like to NOT have to turn off the traction control system [TCS] manually everytime I get into the car. Has anyone found a way to make this adjustment in the computer yet? I thought that I'd heard that the effort was underway a while ago, but I hadn't heard if anyone figured that out yet...

    How do you disable Event Data Recording? New Computer?

    Call me paranoid, but in looking at page 7 of the Owner's Guide, I see that not only does the car's "black box" record speed, but also the steering wheel position and a bunch of other things.
