Up for sale, Our 2003 Ford Ranger Thunderbolt,67,000 original miles. 4.0 v6 engine, automatic transmission, black leather with the thunderbolt logo in the headrest, unique thunderbolt ground effects with hood scoop, slp factory exhaust, and wheels. Very sharp truck inside and out. If you have any questions please call or email . Travis 989 600-9036 Here are the factory preview specs when the vehicle was being released: SLP's first ever Ford model, the '03 Thunderbolt, takes a competent but bland "contractor special" and manages to confect, via flashy paint, well-executed ground effects and a dollop of performance enhancers, a high-impact compact truck that will definitely appeal to the growing crowd of muscle/sport/custom truck enthusiasts. The full-sized F-150 Lightning now has a worthy little brother.Thunderbolt mods begin with the cosmetic: a cool but non-functional hood scoop that looks a lot like the one on the Mustang Bullitt GT, a new front fascia with built-in recesses for driving/fog lights, body-color side cladding and a rear roll pan, plus a soft tonneau cover for the bed and your choice of rear lip spoiler. A lockable hard tonneau cover can be ordered, as well as 16-inch Tremor wheels with Bridgestone Desert Dueler tires. If you'd like more joy underfoot, step up to the available free-flow air intake system complemented by a dual outlet exhaust system ending in classy twin pipes that actually look like real twin pipes, not just cheap chrome shells over the ratty stock exhaust pipes. SLP also notched cut-outs into the custom rear roll pan for the exhaust tips, which jut outward with just enough menace to be cool without going over the top (as on teenager-modified Honda Civics with those absurdly oversized "sewer pipe" exhaust tips). The Stage II and Stage III intake and exhaust mods boost the power of the Ranger Thunderbolt's optional 4.0-liter six by about 15 to 222 all told, and the base 3.0-liter V-6 to 160, an eight-percent improvement. While this truck is not a rocket ship like the Lightning is, it's definitely got more gumption than a factory-stock Ranger — enough that you can feel the difference when you punch it, especially as the tach swings toward redline and the deeper breathing made possible by the SLP system becomes noticeable both audibly, as well as in the seat of your pants. Bear in mind that the Thunderbolt is a two-wheel-drive-only vehicle and rides lower to the ground on performance-type tires, so keep it in the garage when it snows. But on dry pavement, the Thunderbolt is amazingly and gratifyingly grippy for a truck — noticeably more tenacious going around a tight corner than a regular 2WD Ranger, and much less apt to fishtail like a just-landed sea bass. SLP credits the much-meatier16-inch tires and the presence of a beefy rear stabilizer bar for the gains in stability. A test mule/prototype that could become an '04 model was on hand that was dropped down a couple of inches over the stock Ranger as well as the '03 Thunderbolt — and which probably handles even better (we didn't get to drive that one). Truck adventure Finally there's the Chevy Adventure, SLP's idea of what the Chevy Blazer could and should be. A great many people probably don't realize the tried-and-true Blazer is still being produced, what with the new but confusingly named TrailBlazer (and GMC Envoy) having been introduced last year. But the Blazer isn't going away for at least a year or two, and SLP decided to see what could be done to enhance the existing package. As with the other SLP vehicles, the functional improvements center around better breathing —the free-flow air box, cat-back dual outlet exhaust, 1.7 ratio (this application) rocker arms and revised pulleys drawing another 35 hp out of the 4.3 liter Vortec V-6 engine, raising its output to 225 from 190. Also available as options are a lowering kit, the Hawk brake pad package, fog lamps, carbon fiber trim, and a neat "Speed Grille" trim insert with a red-and-black painted Chevy bow tie symbol. Final retail pricing of the SLP upgrades for 2003 has not been formally announced, and the vehicles themselves don't go on sale until September 1, but expect the tab for the base SLP package to run about $1,900. Order the whole enchilada — Stage 3 performance enhancements and all — and it'll be around $3500 on top of the base price of the vehicle itself. As in the past, SLP includes its own three-year/36,000 mile warranty that "mirrors" the factory coverage. And as with the Camaro SS and Firebird Firehawk, there's no complicated rigamarole or secret handshake. Just click off the SLP options you want on the order blank and the dealer will take care of the rest for you. |

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024
Mon, Jan 22 2024Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor. $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60. $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
Galpin Ford GTR1 supercar debuts in Monterey
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Galpin Auto Sports has finally taken the wraps off the car we first previewed back in December, the Galpin Ford GTR1. A few weeks ago, we posted the first hints of just what the GTR1 would be capable of, with Galpin teasing that its 5.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 would produce in excess of 1000 horsepower, with a top speed of 225 miles per hour. Package all that in a coachbuilt body, and you have the recipe for one wicked supercar.
The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000.
Now, we have all the glorious details. Galpin is targeting a production run of six cars, but if interest is strong enough, will expand its initial quote to 24 vehicles. The price for the carbon fiber-bodied car is $1,024,000. Opting for the aluminum bodywork could lower that, although it's not immediately clear by how much.
Ford, Renault have surprises in store for Le Mans
Tue, Jun 9 2015All those prototype and GT racers won't be the only attraction catching our eye at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend. Two major automakers have also confirmed that they've got new metal to unveil. And while they're not saying exactly what they'll be, we've got some pretty good ideas. First up is Ford, which has announced a "major Ford Performance news announcement" on Friday. Chairman Bill Ford, CEO Mark Fields, and product development chief Raj Nair will be on hand for the announcement set to take place on Friday at 10:00 AM Eastern. The Blue Oval isn't saying just what it has in store, but the widespread speculation has been that it will present a racing version of the new Ford GT at Le Mans a good half century since the original GT40 raced there. Meanwhile, Renault has announced that it is marking the 60th anniversary of the Alpine marque at Le Mans this Saturday. The French automaker has been working on reviving the dormant marque, and looks poised to finally reveal its new sports car at its iconic home endurance race this weekend. Tipped to be called the Alpine AS1, the new sports car will bring the marque back out of retirement in a more real way than the ELMS-winning LMP2 prototype ever could. Expect it to be based on the mid-engined chassis underpinning the Renault RS 01 spec racer, but built for the road.
