    Mods and 05 GT 3v

    Just like what Tim said.............. Modern engines are much more efficient than engines of old. The more power the factory can squeeze out of an engine, the less there is in bolt on/aftermarket mods. Granted, a S/C or NOS will aide in power, but for basic bolt ons, i'm not sure you can...

    '05 Pace Car

    I believe that car has the 18" wheels on it. If Ford has a pace car w/ the 18's, then I want my GT to have the 18's. You hear me Ford? I want my 18's!

    Yeah, I was GS mechanic at Firestone when it all happened. I swear I must have changed out all five tires on every Explorer in the Southeast.

    Time to call ford!! The phone #

    Look into the new 350Z and G35. I almost bought one. They can't seem to keep a set of tires on their cars. They are bald after 8K miles even with the most laid back driving style. But anyways. You can't compare sidewall series without taking into consideration the tires width. Afterall...

    GOt My VIN Number Today

    If you figure they build 550 a shift at 2 shifts a day, then start at 1100 cars a day and work on from 9/7. That could give you an idea of what day it's getting built.

    Time to call ford!! The phone #

    I posted that over on Brad's site. As I stated there, it's what he told me. I said what about the other 18's currently offered. And then he broke out the pen and paper. The problem is in the aspect ratio of these tires. He went through about 10 minutes worth of thermodynamics using changing...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    False. OPEC is not concerned. Saudia Arabia is. The other 10 countries see only $$$$ as they charge over $40 a barrel. Iran said it will back a "usual" bpd increase. But no one knows what "usual" means. The head of a major oil refinery (Valeco or something, I can't remember exactly) stated...

    No 18 inch wheel eveyone e-mail ford and scream

    damn.....i've posted alot today. Ok, by conversions, the 17" wheel with tire size listed and 18" wheel with the tire size listed should be just about the exact same height. Assuming the wider 18" wheel gets a different offset, the suspension travel and lock to lock turning should be the...

    No 18 inch wheel eveyone e-mail ford and scream

    Well considering the new Dodge SRT-10 Ram is on 22's from the factory, 18" wheels aren't that big anymore. I think the 18's fill up the wheel well gaps pretty well. It's just the way the industry is going. I mean, at least they aren't 26" rims, bling bling

    No 18 inch wheel eveyone e-mail ford and scream

    What, since when is there never going to be an 18" wheel offered? Everything i've read said 17" to start, and then later offering the 18" wheel. So now they say they are not going to offer the 18" ever? Did I miss something? as a side note: USA M3's have 18" wheels, and European models...
