2014 - Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla considers Model III SUV and wagon, Ford tears Tesla apart
Mon, Oct 27 2014Worries over Brazil's electric grid mean EVs are excluded from green car incentives. As part of a new efficiency program, non-plug-in hybrids will be eligible for a reduction in import duties, while EVs and plug-in hybrids will not. Brazil's government is concerned that the country's grid lacks the capacity to handle the increased load from an influx of EVs. Brazil plans to create a new incentive program - perhaps a more inclusive one - when the current one expires at the end of 2015. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla could make SUV and wagon derivatives of the upcoming Model III sedan. Tesla's VP of engineering, Chris Porritt, told Auto Express that to reach as many customers as possible, Tesla would consider all its options. "SUVs, estates - who knows?" says Porritt. He also says that while the company is currently focused on products with a broader appeal, another Roadster or other sports car aren't out of the question in the future. Read more at Auto Express. Ford admits to a Tesla Model S teardown. Ford CEO Mark Fields says that after disassembling, reassembling and driving the model S, his company is "very familiar with that product." He also says the Ford has the capability to build a similarly high-tech, long-range electric car. The questions still remains if Ford has plans for such a vehicle, but Fields says that it fits within Ford's "product philosophy." Read more at Business Insider and at USA Today.
Ford worker files for UAW dues refund, stirs right-to-work debate
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Let's start with some history: Ford's Dearborn truck plant, part of the company's massive River Rouge complex, was the center of a strike in 1941 that led to Ford signing the first "closed shop" agreement in the industry. The agreement obliged every worker at the plant to be a dues-paying member of the United Auto Workers. In December 2012, however, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder signed legislation making Michigan a right-to-work state, which outlawed closed shops. The new law gave workers the right to opt out of union membership and stop paying dues even if they were still covered by union activities like collective bargaining. For employees at the Dearborn plant, the right-to-work clauses take effect at the end of their current contract in 2015.
As a tool-and-die maker at Ford's Dearborn plant for 16 years, Todd Lemire pays dues to the UAW - about two hours' salary per month. However, he's been unhappy with the UAW's support of the Democratic party, and not wanting to wait until next year to be out of the UAW entirely he invoked his Beck Rights, which state that a non-member of a union does not have to pay dues to support non-core activities, such as political spending. But Lemire wasn't happy that Ford still subtracted the total amount of dues, with the UAW reimbursing the difference, so he filed suit with the National Labor Relations Board, feeling that the workaround violates his rights.
Lemire's case is just a week old, so it could be a while before a resolution. Yet, as September 15, 2015 draws near and the right-to-work laws take full effect for Michigan workers - and others wonder whether it could help revitalize the state's manufacturing base - a case like this adds more fuel to the discussion.
2015 Ford Mustang already under recall, but just 53 units
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ford has issued a small - but significant - recall for one of its spotlight cars: the 2015 Mustang.
The recall affects just 53 cars, with 50 in the United States and three in Canada. Ford said the passenger side safety belt buckle tension sensor may not have been calibrated properly by the supplier. This could lead to "misclassification" of the passenger seat occupant, and could cause the airbag to deploy improperly.
A Ford spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In a statement, the automaker said it is not aware of any accidents or injuries, and dealers will replace the buckle assembly at no cost to customers. The cars affected were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan from Aug. 18 to Oct. 2.
