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.

Can an actual Ford F-150 ride on 4 Power Wheels F-150s?

Tue, Dec 9 2014

A lot of kids are rough on their toys, especially when it comes to those made to be used outside, like a four-wheeled kid-size Power Wheels. Whether it's cruising through the sand box, carrying piles of rocks in the driveway or crashing around trees in the backyard, these motorized vehicles often take punishment from the moment the giftwrap comes off. The folks at Fisher-Price decided to give their latest F-150 Power Wheels a true torture test worse than any kid could have ever managed by setting a real 2015 Ford F-150 on top of four of them. Would the little toy trucks explode in a shower of plastic shards in a massive collapse, and if not, could they drive away afterwards? The latest F-150 might be 700 pounds lighter thanks to the switch to aluminum, but it's still a fullsize pickup. According to this clip, the truck weighs in at 4,120 pounds, which puts an average of 1,030 pounds on each of the toys. Check out the video above to see how the stunt goes, and click on the gallery below for some behind-the-scenes looks at the setup.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.

Plethora of 2015 Ford F-150 customs runs the gamut at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Of Ford's customized trucks, two feature the name of famous Ford racers.
Of all the OEMs making appearances at the 2014 SEMA show, Ford owns arguably the most significant group of vehicles, thanks to its new 2015 F-150 and Mustang. While you can look for our Mustang coverage soon, we've managed to sneak out and get snaps of some of a few of the F-150s on display at the company's sprawling, 20,000-square-foot display (look for even more aftermarket F-150 goodness in the coming days).
