    Understeer at speed?

    The way Ford's alignment specs are set up, they have a wide range of acceptable numbers. So you can have a factory alignment that's acceptable by Ford but it definitely won't be as good as it could be. This also means that someone else's car can drive better than your car since their alignment...

    Light steering feel?

    If you know any alignment tech that really knows his stuff, ask him if he can increase the caster on your front suspension... higher caster will give you a stiffer off center steering feel...which means better high speed stability. I am not sure if it can be done though without totally...

    3rd set of rear rotors

    It's possible that the pads you got are too rough on your rotors. Are these hardcore racing brake pads you've put on or what? Dealer probably won't cover any brake issues under warranty if you are running those kind of brake pads.

    WTF is the Deal with Clarkson

    Some of you guys need a sense of humor. They make fun of American cars but they also like to bag on the Germans and even themselves (*cough* Lucas electrics). And let's face it, a lot of American cars are crap. They are getting better but I think the Japanese have the economy car segment...

    Cleaning Convertible Top

    Look up 303 Aerospace protectant. They started out with an interior product which is really nice, anti UV, doesn't leave everything all slimy and reflective like armor all and doesn't dry anything out. They also have a 303 convertible top cleaner which my mom uses on her Miata, and it is a...

    Best wheel Size for handling

    17 inchers... the lighter the better. Less sidewall doesn't always mean better handling, especially on public roads. And they make low enough profile 17 inch tires. Less wear on your axles and suspension bits too!

    Do superchargers increase the life of the motor

    I dont see how it would make it last longer. Now turbo'd diesels last longer but tahts because they build them even stronger than a N/A diesel (do these even exist anymore...)plus the turbos dont really die, 'cause the exhaust gases from the diesels are much cooler. 200+K miles from your...

    I GOT NEW SHOES!!!

    They look nice, though I dont know if I'd like the acceleration/handling penalty that goes with all that extra unsprung weight. They do look awesome though.

    Exhaust

    Diesels always have plenty of air being pumped through, their biggest gains are based through both the addition of fuel and higher boost pushed by the turbo... 60 hp thru an exhaust, no way.

    convertible top cleaner

    http://superiorcarcare.net/303vincontop.html 303 has good stuff, use the cleaner and then the protector. If you have leather seats its good stuff to use too. I use it on the dashboard, vinyl seats and (real) wood on my 20 year old daily driver.

    In need of better brake setup, rotor and pads

    It sounds like you may just have a brake booster issue or maybe even a master cylinder issue. If your pedal is too hard then its the booster. Take a look at your brake fluid reservoir on top of the master cylinder and make sure its full of fluid. Take a look at it a week later to make sure it...

    color

    My favorite is yellow, on one condition: it has to have two fat black stripes. Otherwise, white and redfire.

    White GT's Please Post Pic's!

    My two choices would be a white one with some blue stripes or a yellow one with some black stripes... leaning towards the latter... saw one the other day at a Chevy dealership and it was awesome.

    new Challenger gets the green light

    Well I never liked how Camaros looked either because of the front, the TA's were always better looking through all the generations IMO. The 400 cubic inch motors are pretty awesome if you build them up some, i think they only put out 200 some hp stock.. lotta torque though.
