    Old Gasoline Removal, What All Has To Be Done

    The big issue here is I'm almost certain the cars have gasoline with some form of Ethanol in them (many Canadian gas station chains such as Husky will have some degree of it). I think that stuff goes bad in a few months, given the organic matter in that type of fuel and I hear it has a way of...

    Old Gasoline Removal, What All Has To Be Done

    I have a'92 LX 5.0 and a '00 V6 that have been sitting for about three years now and they have to move. However, I am worried about old gas in the cars, and something tells me it might be more involved then draining the fuel tanks alone. Tell me if I got the list right: - Fuel lines are...

    2015+ Front End Uncovered, For Real

    I don't think it is as bad as some people make it, for the most part it is still the retro front end as seen in the current models except with different headlights. I think the fuss would be a lot bigger if they followed the Evos concept to a tee, then the car would truly look like an Aston...

    Next Generation Mustang Good/ Bad?

    I think this is a little bit subjective. IMO, the GT was holding its own against the Camaro SS until the 1LE option showed up. Although the 1LE has never directly faced the Boss 302 in automotive media tests, you will find at tracks where both cars were driven the 1LE was the faster car...

    What If The Fusion Was Different?

    On topic, I pretty much for saw this split over the Mustang's styling because I had a hunch the retro thing wouldn't last forever. The problem is like a drug, some people got really stuck or attached to the retro look and now that it is going away I think there seems to be a bit of a...

    What If The Fusion Was Different?

    I saw some Mustang fan boy on an Autoblog article comments section telling everyone that thought the new Mustang looked like the current Ford Fusion that "they needed their eyes checked out or to get some glasses", copying and pasting the same reply to everyone that said that. IMO, boy did he...

    2015 Mustang Unmasked... Or Is It?

    The front end was basically everything I expected based on the hypothetical renderings I have seen so far, basically the current retro front end with "Fusion" style headlights in place. I do question how much smaller the car is, there is no way the length is 15 inches shorter as some sources...

    What Is All Needed To Build A 800 Horsepower '13 5.0?

    I should chime in on something, I haven't mentioned it on Stangnet at all but I drive a '13 GT500. I can tell you the car fights all of the driving assists (AdvanceTrac and Traction Control) at full throttle. I kind of second what these guys say about what experience you have with driving high...

    What Is All Needed To Build A 800 Horsepower '13 5.0?

    Someone I know runs what is claimed to be a 800 HP '13 GHIG (Gotta Have it Green) Boss 302 on a stock block and mostly forced induction (forgot if it was a supercharger or turbo). I think that's another thing to consider, I've heard the Boss 302 engines are a little more beefed up than the GT...

    Hvac Is Stuck On Floor Vent Setting

    My '92 LX is stuck on "floor", could it be as simple as a fuse or the motor that controls the vent direction?

    2016 Svt Model To Be Gt-350 With Bigger Na Motor

    I kind of figured the HP figures would be lower as a result of going NA. This is just me but based on current technology, 500 bhp seems to be the limit for a lot of production engines such as V8s while maintaining practicality. I'm fairly certain manufacturers could do 600 HP NA V8s but the...

    Full Protype 2015 Model Finally Spied In Testing

    The car looks like it has retained the retro front grille and bumper but the headlights are definitely from the Evos concept. I think this may ease the fears of people who feel the 2015s will come out looking like an Aston Martin.

    Pondering 2015 Lineup Options

    I think there maybe the possibility that a special edition, high performance model may not show up immediately. The current GT500 didn't come out until the third model year of the S197, and to go with non-Ford or Mustang examples the C6 Z06 was not available upon that generation's launch much...

    Ford says 200mph was the 2013 Shelby GT500 goal

    I checked out the American Ford website because the Canadian site still only has the 2012 models to configure. I'm not a fan of Deep Impact Blue when compared to Koni Blue which doesn't appear to be available this year. I also wonder if any of the Nav stuff will work in Canada for an American...

    Motor Trend Boss 302 LS vs. Camaro ZL1

    Hatchback trunk covers

    It seems to be one of those things people remove and forget about, I wonder if it is to improve cargo capacity? This reminds me of how almost every Fox has the center console latch broken (I've been told original owners have broken these on the first day of ownership.)

    Warming up a cold engine without a block heater

    Unfortunately up here in Canada, temperatures can dip down to -22 F, which can be a problem for vehicles. I just discovered that my block heater isn't working, and while my car will turn over (the battery is good) it just won't start in this cold. It's currently stuck on the 4th floor of a...
