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.

2015 Ford F-150 brings big aluminum to the Rust Belt [w/video]

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

Just when you thought you'd figured the fullsize truck market out, Ford goes and throws us a massive curve ball with the 2015 F-150. The big headline news aren't tow or payload ratings, though we're sure those figures will be fully competitive if not class leading, they haven't yet been announced. Instead, the big headline news Ford is highlighting are the truck's new aluminum-intensive structure and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine.
And with good reason - all that aluminum means that Ford was able to cut a massive 700 pounds from the truck's curb weight. That is going to cause all sorts of great things to happen to the 2015 F-150's driving dynamics, performance and fuel efficiency, not to mention its ability to haul heavy loads. For those customers worried about the strength of aluminum versus the more conventional steel, Ford is quick to point out that many military vehicles, such as the HMMWV and Bradley Fighting Vehicle, use a very similar sort of aluminum alloy in their construction.
It's also worth mentioning that the backbone, a fully boxed ladder frame, is hewn from high-strength steel. Ford says "2015 Ford F-150 is the strongest and most durable F-150 ever," for what it's worth, claiming that "torture tested" in labs and in the real world for more than 10 million miles. What's more, the truck, in disguised form, completed all 883 miles of the Baja 1000.

Ford C-Max, Fusion hybrids subject of MPG lawsuit in California

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

A California lawsuit over the fuel economy claims for the 2013 Ford C-Max was first reported back in December. Based on the numerous reports we've heard of disgruntled owners failing to get their car's EPA fuel economy ratings on the C-Max and 2013 Fusion Hybrid, we suspected there would be more to this story. The Detroit News is reporting that two California law firms are combining their lawsuits against Ford on this matter for "false and misleading" claims.
The article states that there are hundreds of C-Max and Fusion Hybrid owners who have joined the lawsuit, but the issue isn't limited to customers. In December, Consumer Reports extensively tested both the Fusion Hybrid and C-Max and found that both hybrids performed significantly worse than their EPA claims. This all comes just a few months after Hyundai and Kia took the unprecedented step of lowering the fuel economy ratings for all of their 2012 and 2013 model-year vehicles.

Ford recalling 450,000 Fusion, Mercury Milan sedans

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Ford has announced a pair of recalls, and both are critical safety issues. The exponentially larger of the two recall campaigns affects over 450,000 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan sedans manufactured at the Hermosillo plant between July 21, 2008, and March 4, 2011. The canister purge valve in the fuel tank could malfunction and could cause the top of the tank to crack and leak fuel. That could cause a fire, although Ford "is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires" resulting from the issue. Affected vehicles will have their ECU software updated and their fuel tanks inspected for potential replacement. The company estimates there are 411,205 affected units in the United States (and its federalized territories), plus another 33,605 in Canada, and 7,055 in Mexico. The second recall affects 13 F-650 trucks. The column shifter's park position mechanism may fracture and let the truck roll away unexpectedly. Those 2016 models built in Ohio between July 29 and September 3, 2015 are all located in the US. Fixing the problem will require replacing the steering column and reconfiguring the instrument panel. FORD ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 23, 2015 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to these conditions. Details are as follows: Ford issues safety recall for certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles in North America for potential fuel tank issue Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall for approximately 450,000 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles for a potential issue with the fuel tank. Some of these vehicles might have a canister purge valve that does not work properly, causing internal pressure changes inside the fuel tank. Repeated pressure changes inside the tank could result in a crack on the top of the tank, possibly allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can lead to a fire. Ford is not aware of any accidents, injuries or fires related to this condition. Affected vehicles include certain 2010-2011 Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles built at Hermosillo Assembly Plant from July 21, 2008 through March 4, 2011. There are a total of approximately 451,865 vehicles that might be affected in North America, including 411,205 vehicles in the United States and federalized territories, 33,605 in Canada and 7,055 in Mexico.
