2005 Ford Mustang on 2040-cars
Alba, Texas, United States
Just email me at: blythebccramblit@ukfamilies.com .
2005 Mustang Saleen S281SC. This is 1 of just 31 Mineral Grey Saleens every built on
the S197 platform and 2005 was the last year that color was produced. It was originally supercharged with 400hp to
the crank and backed with a manual transmission. I have owned the car for 10 years and at one time used it as my
daily but here more recently have only driven maybe 300 miles in the past 3 years. It's time to let someone else
own it that will be able to enjoy it! It has been heavily modified, well know, been on vendor websites and can be
seen on youtube. It stickered at 59K new and came optioned with HID Headlights, Front Big Brake Upgrade with cross
drilled rotors, supercharger, Saleen exterior package, interior package, extractor hood and wing. I have around 25K
- 30K invested in modificaitons on top of the vehicle cost. I did not buy 2nd hand parts, all were purchased
direct from the vendors with no expense spared.

Countless hours on the dyno between Dallas Mustang and HPP Racing
NT05 tires all on all 4 corners.
The car has made over 700 rear wheel horsepower on pump gas, 18lbs of boost with Bosch 80lb injectors, and 76mm
precision turbo. The car had little low end power and significant turbo lag.
In the last 200 miles I have had some additional work done.
Morgan and Sons installed custom forged pistons and rings with slightly higher compression to bring it up from
8.2:1 to 9.0:1 to be more in line with the 2013 GT500 compression ratio. They also did a valve job
$3,200
When I got it back I used new Cometic gaskets and ARP studs again for another $750
I also replaced the Precision Journal Bearing turbo with a Precision 67mm Ball Bearing and the difference in how
fast the boost spools is significantly better.
$2,200

Focus ST diesel variant coming, just don't look for it here
Fri, 07 Mar 2014A few years back, Volkswagen made some waves when it announced the Golf GTD - a diesel-powered car that, aside from its ultra-efficient, ultra-torquey engine, was identical to the gas-powered GTI. That meant cosseting sport seats, larger wheels, sportier suspension, larger brakes and a body kit that made the GTD indistinguishable from the GTI, except for the three little letters on the back and in the grille.
Now, Ford is looking to replicate VW's success, with a diesel version of the Focus ST. According to Motor Trend, the diesel-powered ST will use a 2.0-liter, 182-horsepower four-cylinder. With an unspecified amount of torque on offer (we'd guess around 280 pound-feet), the diesel hot hatch should hit 62 miles per hour in about eight seconds.
The report, which originally comes from Auto Express, claims the ST Diesel was confirmed by Ford Chief Marketing Officer Mark Fields during this week's Geneva Motor Show. Not surprisingly, it doesn't appear there are any plans to bring a diesel-powered Focus of any kind to the US, let alone one that uses the suspension, steering and other items from the ST. Of course, if there's an official confirmation from Ford, we'll be sure to report on it.
Ford, GM to collaborate on 9- and 10-speed transmissions
Mon, 15 Apr 2013Back in October, there were reports that General Motors and Ford Motor Company were hard at work co-developing new nine- and ten-speed automatic transmissions, and now both automakers have confirmed this joint operation. While there are no specific vehicles mentioned to receive either transmission, a collaborative press release issued by GM and Ford mention that the transmission will be designed for front- and rear-wheel-drive cars, crossovers, trucks and SUVs.
These aren't the first powertrain components developed jointly between these cross-town rivals, either. The six-speed automatic currently used in vehicles like the Ford Edge, Ford Fusion, Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Equinox was engineered in a similar fashion. As is the case with this existing transmission, both automakers will assist in the design, development and testing of the new transmissions, but each will build its own units in its own factories. Scroll down for the official press release.
Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey
Fri, 01 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.
