I've just taken delivery of a beautiful 2001 SVT Cobra convertible. Gorgeous, original condition and only 15,000 miles. In the trunk I found the convertible top boot and a large vinyl contraption I just can't identify (see photo). With numerous hooks and straps I would assume it is involved...

If you're planning on using the FRPP intake/tune package you must use premium fuel (min 91 octane). The 2008 /09 Bullitt uses the FRPP intake but it features an adaptive spark ignition that can sense lower octane and retard timing to account for it. This feature was introduced in 2008 and your...

I have the GTA's and absolutely love the sound. For a review, complete with sound clips, look here: Ford Racing GTA Exhaust

As you guessed, you'll need to use the tuner to return your car to stock tune; this will "unlock" your SCT2 so that you can sell it. The tunes will not be usable to the new buyer but they can purchase downloaded tunes from Brenspeed, Bamachips, etc. There is a market for the tuner if it's...

No, I'm referring to the stock mirror itself. While the aftermarket mirrors (usually made by Mito/Gentex) are held in place on the button by a set screw, the factory mirror is held on by a spring clip that is designed to be released by a special fork-shaped tool, available at most any auto...

Removing the stock rear view mirror on late-model Mustangs is a real nightmare and not for a novice. It doesn't have a set screw but needs a special tool. Removal can be done with a screwdriver if you're really lucky, but more often than not you'll crack your windshield. Do a search and...

That may be true in your area, but there's no ethanol in sight anywhere I fill up (Central Texas).

Actually, the reverse is true. Using premium fuel actually produces a slower burn. It doesn't hurt to use premium in an engine that has been tuned for 87-octane, but you'll gain little or nothing in the way of performance. Regular vs Premium

I'm not exactly answering your question, but you might get enough information from my article on installing a Gentex (Mito) mirror. Here's the write-up: Gentex Mirror Install

I'll assume that they are providing the new bands, since you can't swap the stock ones. If so, $100 for four new bands and the labor to install them is pretty reasonable.

The best advice is to always run the lowest octane recommended for your car by the manufacturer; in your case, that's premium fuel. In the case of a Shelby GT one has to wonder why you'd spend 35 large on a vehicle then try to save pocket change by using lower octane. How much will you save...

It's good to know the potential is there. I've had my Steeda/Brenspeed combo for almost a year and unfortunately I haven't been able to keep my foot out of it long enough to get a decent economy check :nice: Review of Brenspeed tune

I had the Gibson axle-backs on my '07 and the drone was so annoying that I sold 'em in less than a week. Went with the FRPP GTA's and couldn't be happier. Great sound at idle, a nice bark but not obnoxious at WOT and best of all-zero drone. I have sound clips comparing the stock mufflers with...

You're going to get many opinions but not a lot of hard numbers unless you're willing to do some heavy searching. I bought the Steeda Intake/SCT combo from Brent and absolutely love it: Steeda/Brenspeed I've also owned a C&L intake/Bamachips combo and had great luck with it. After I...

No, they're not standard and yes, there is a tag on the seats if you have them.

The GTA's are made by Supreme.

Thanx for the info, Red. I really wanted to hear from someone who had real-world experience with it.

Glad to know I didn't completely waste my money :nice:

I just purchased a Steeda/SCT package from him and couldn't be happier with the combination: Steeda/SCT/Brenspeed

I'm also impressed with the quality of the Steeda. Perhaps the only sour note was the "high flow inlet elbow." Mine came with the kit, which I thought was somewhat expensive but not outrageous. If I had it to do over again I believe that I'd not buy that overpriced "Inlet elbow"; it's just a...
