2014 Shelby GT500, black on black with stripe delete. It is fully loaded, Recaros, Nav, Track Pack, Performance Pack, Mach stereo. This is an amazing, if not the best vehicle Ford has built next to the Ford GT. The only thing is there are things Ford had to cut due to trying to keep the cost down. That is why I have custom built this one. This motor wants to breathe, so I installed a JLT carbon fiber intake, VMP 67mm throttle body, 2.40 supercharger pulley, and 90mm idler. Also, installed Redline Hood Struts. The SCT tune is for 91 and 100 octane. I am currently running VP MS109. Why not run engineered gas that is the one of the best. The biggest short coming out of the factory is the stock tires. So, I upgraded the wheels to 20x9 and 20x11, with 285 and 315 Nitto NT05. The front calipers have been painted Grabber Blue. The suspension definitely needed a few upgrades, BMR red double adjustable panhard bar and red lower control arms. I was asked by Eibach if I would be willing to allow them to use mine as the test vehicle for product development for the 2013/14 Shelbys. The vehicle is over 300 lbs lighter than the 2012 and that makes a big difference for the springs. They installed the Sportline springs and upgraded swaybars. I upgraded the axel-back exhaust with the Magnaflow Competition Series. The interior has the rear seat delete with crossbar custom painted Grabber Blue and a Grabber Blue shifter ball with the Billet Works adapter. The exterior I have custom painted the upper and lower grills, side mirrors, and rear spoiler Grabber Blue. The front splitter and side splitters have all been painted factory black. I bought this vehicle in March 2014 with 2500 miles and now has 2772, 100 of that was the drive to Eibach. I bought this as a collector and show car. Sadly, I am having to sell due to family issues. I have never tracked or raced it. I simply upgraded it because, hell, why not. This motor is amazing and with a few simple upgrades you can make it a happier beast. Prior to the 100 octane tune change it put down 676 at the wheels and with what I have researched it should now be over 700 rwhp. There is only one dyno near me and the owner is a complete dirt bag so I have not gone back. Included: the rear seats, a 5 gallon can of the VP109, stock throttle body and the tuner.

Jaguar design boss admits X-Type was a mistake

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the auto industry. When Jaguar was owned by Ford, the British brand attempted to field a competitor for the BMW 3 Series, called the X-Type. Based on the bones of a Ford Mondeo, it aped the styling of Jaguar's flagship model, the XJ, while borrowing liberally from the Ford parts bin. That was 2001.
Now, in 2013, Jaguar is planning a new 3 Series challenger based on the platform previewed by the C-X17 Concept, while Ford is attempting to take the latest Mondeo upmarket. The moves have both brands recognizing where, why, and how the X-Type failed. "It didn't look mature or powerful or anything. It was just a car," Jaguar's current head of advanced design, Julian Thomson, told PistonHeads. Basing the X-Type on a front-drive car while giving it styling that was meant for a rear-driver lead to proportions that "were plainly wrong," Thomson told PH. Ford's European head of quality, Gunnar Herrmann, added that the X-Type was "a fake Jaguar, because every piece I touch is Ford."
For what it's worth, the X-Type's successor in the segment will sport rear-drive, with plenty of input from Ian Callum. Thomson described the new model, which would challenge the 3 Series as having, "Big wheels right to the ends of the car, low bonnet, short overhangs, very low cabins." Sounds good to us.

Ford gives police chiefs tech to surveil officers in their own cars

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Police officers certainly have a difficult job in keeping the streets safe, but as public employees in positions of authority, there is still a very real need for oversight. To that end, Ford is partnering with a tech company to offer a new system called Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement on its line of Police Interceptor patrol vehicles that could make cops safer, while giving cities a better idea of what its officers are doing.
The system streams live data about cruisers back to the home base to people like the police chief or shift supervisor. That info includes expected things like speed, location and cornering acceleration, but it gets incredibly granular as well, with records of things like if emergency lights are on, or even if an officer is wearing a seatbelt.
Ford Telematics for Law Enforcement "ought to protect officers as much as it protects the public," said Ford spokesperson Chris Terry to Autoblog. Constantly monitoring patrol cars offers cities a lot of advantages, too. First, it reduces potential liability because a department can prove where each vehicle is at all times. Also, officers know they are being watched and may potentially drive more safely.

2015 Ford F-150 specs revealed, EcoBoost 2.7L to make 325 hp and 375 lb-ft [w/video]

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

Our new man Greg Migliore is in attendance at a Ford media event at the Blue Oval's Dearborn, MI headquarters today, and he's reported in with a handful of the 2015 F-150 stats that we've been dying to know. Ford is slow-playing the news release here, but we can still offer up some interesting output and performance figures after half-year of waiting.
We have all be quite aware that Ford's shift to aluminum construction would save a lot of weight for F-150 models, and the results we're hearing now are duly impressive. For instance: in Super Crew trim, a 2015 F-150 is a whopping 732-pounds lighter than was its closest 2014-model-year equivalent. That's like hauling three middle-aged dudes to your bowling alley's league night for free. Polish your balls, guys.
Ford isn't willing to offer up any actual curb weights just yet, but if we take that 732-pound loss and extrapolate with the 5,128-pound curb weight of the 2014 F-150 Super Crew with the 3.7-liter V6, we can guesstimate that 2015 models will measure out in the 4,400-pound range. That's impressive.
