Perhaps it's easier for me since I park on an incline in my driveway and always use the e-brake to save the pawl. Just push the e-brake button off after putting it in reverse or drive. It's just muscle memory for me now and I push the auto-start off at the same time. Then it won't hesitate...

But it seems they do still make vehicles for people who can't spell, use punctuation correctly, or resist reposting the same content to multiple threads. :rolleyes:

I have dual majors in computer science and mechanical engineering. I coined the term "unobtainium" in the early '90s (although I won't suggest someone didn't beat me to it) when I was writing FEA software with a group of other engineers (using C++ and assembler language on 16mhz PCs) . They...

There is a replacement for displacement; boosted or not- it's called RPM. A 3 ltr engine at 12000 will pump just as much air as a 6 ltr engine at 6000 rpm (theoretically). But unless your budget is in the unobtainium range of beryllium and titanium alloys....well, let's just say that you...

I agree with most of the statements you've been making, and it's actually a breath of fresh air from those who are constantly bitching about a vehicle they theoretically researched, test drove, and finally purchased in lieu of using that same money for the down payment on a home. (Waaah, my...

Keep us updated. It'll be interesting to see if that intake really makes enough difference to warrant tuning or fuel mixture changes.

Good job cleaning up your thread!

My last words on this subject- take a look at the pics of the isolators on the 1 bolt vs 2 bolts. But hey, you "know it's not". But, you are absolutely entitled to your position. Sell that piece of shit immediately and buy something else since they're obviously trying to rip you off to save a...

Your anecdotal evidence is is not proof. Have you even thought about this critically? If you had, you would see that not only did they "leave the assembly line without a 4th bolt like ford was designed to have", you'd have done enough research to be taken seriously. Did you notice that the...

I know what I say causes a lot of emotion, but why, given the limited info released would leave you to believe that Ford f'd up? And you "hope this costs them a lot"? Perhaps they should just go out of business because some supplier didn't heat treat bolts correctly? Perhaps even though you...

How do you know that? Did you see the pics of that "brace"? It probably moved 2". I'm probably going to get flamed for this, but a few yards of duct tape (placed appropriately) would probably have been just as effective. Truly, the AWR brace is much better, although I'd like to see a third...

And, other than anecdotal, self-serving comments have you seen non-modded cars fail? I mean really? I'm not suggesting that due to supplier issues, cost, or badly heat-treated bolts that perhaps there might be a problem, but this issue is so overblown on this forum as to be ludicrous. If you...

Right- the poster added over 100 lb/ft of torque via tuning and mods and broke the bolt at the dragstrip. Then bitched because Ford fixed it- for free. What a victim!

It isn't about being covered by a recall- which it wasn't at the time. Your own words convict you. You admit to getting angry at a service rep who is justifiably concerned about your mods. I guess you could have shown him the videos of your drag racing that you showed us. You didn't though...

Let's see, you tune the car, add downpipes and exhaust and who knows what else. You boast on this forum on your trips to the dragstrip multiple times. Then, when something breaks you bitch and moan about Ford not covering this under warranty. You even lie about being tuned and how it happened...

The average person just believes whatever a vendor says. As an engineer and entrepreneur I try to give the vendor the benefit of the doubt. UNLESS they insult my intelligence and that of the people they're trying to part from their money. You obviously have the common sense to smell the...

Just to follow up on this, please consider this from the vendor's website: HOW IT WORKS As a car moves through the air, the air pressure directly in front of the bumper increases with the square of speed. So, let's just state the obvious from this unbelievable comment. Let's just assume that...

There were posts on this when it was in prototype stage. You can read my comments from an older thread, but my point is it's is not RAM-AIR. The effects of a forward facing scoop are negligible at less than 150 mph. So tests showing 2-4 gear pulls are more than a little suspect regardless of...

And how would this be any different from the Afe intake? Shouldn't you finish up the intercooler kit first?
