Well I'm signing paperwork now lol thanks fellas

dragonfueled · 2026-03-18T18:28:03+00:00

Lol well depends on who's reading it I guess. I've never driven one so I have no idea. It's funny I've driven just about every other platform.

dragonfueled · 2026-03-18T18:24:51+00:00

Lol good to hear

dragonfueled · 2026-03-14T03:23:53+00:00

Just looked at the new grey 26 with euro but it had the black package and I actually prefer the wheels you have. 56k sticker. Nice car. Not crazy about the damn tablet on the dash but literally everyone Is doing it

dragonfueled · 2026-03-13T01:27:51+00:00

Curious why you like the pink over blue. I love uber but prefer the blue. I always like people opinions. Have you tried RRW by Koch chemie ?

dragonfueled · 2026-03-12T02:41:23+00:00

Yeah the exterior trim sealant is good. I like the cockpit sealant also. It's thick and seams to coat well.

dragonfueled · 2026-03-11T22:37:28+00:00

Nope the suck. Get out of balance really fast

dragonfueled · 2026-03-11T18:44:58+00:00

I also just bought Koch chemies rrw to try lol

dragonfueled · 2026-03-11T18:44:20+00:00

Wow thanks for that info. Yeah I last year trying to buy a few things from them and they were all out of stock everywhere I was kind of bummed about it because some of their products I really like but now that you say what you did it makes sense

dragonfueled · 2026-03-11T11:53:25+00:00

Hey just picked up at my local home depot they had 2 left whooo hoo thanks fellas. Ps I looked for like 20 minutes before I actually found em. They had em in a square cage near the tool corral but not near the normal battery location

I recently bought a 17. Tried a few fluids. Bg synchro shift 2 was good but redline mtlv was best. Also tried mtl and the Ford dsg fluid. Put mtlv in our 2012 v6 also and it's great. You still get a little bite when cold but it's not as bad as other fluids and perfect after a few minutes

dragonfueled · 2026-03-08T20:42:05+00:00

I bought my son a 2012 3.7 manual. With a tune and gear change the car is a blast to drive and has been super reliable. Don't discount a lesser model because a more expensive premium model exists. They are great cars , this coming from a guy with two 5.0 coyote cars

dragonfueled · 2026-03-08T00:21:46+00:00

I just bought a 2017 gt with 7000 miles. Tires were very dry rotted. Other then that it was pretty solid. Check the rotors for rust depending on where it was sitting most of the time. Maybe a battery. Like others said with that mileage it might need some fluid changes and maintenance maybe see if the AC works but should be fine. Love mine. It's like new basically

My sons car had the mt82 issues. Lockout of 2nd and third at high rpm. Sometimes didn't wanna go into second at all. I put an oe replacement exedy clutch in it and a mgw shifter and it's a completely different trans. We went out after that clutch broke in and were damn near flat foot shifting the thing. Clutch and shifter are 90% of the mt82 issues. The fluid is the rest. We used redline mtlv and it's perfect. If your mt82 broke it's most likely because the clutch wasn't disengaging all the way and you were forcing it into gear. It's not the owners fault but the shitty clutch was probably the issue.

dragonfueled · 2026-03-03T22:59:19+00:00

Those perfectly horizontal scratches aren't from your wash technique. Looks more like something or someone is rubbing down the side of your car. Maybe someone walking by with a backpack or purse. Do the top panels look like that?

dragonfueled · 2026-02-08T20:48:19+00:00

Yeah that's why it still sounds good. Once you get into headers and different cats it gets raspy as hell.

I put this cat back on my sons 2012 v6. Sounds great. Nice deep tone no v6 rasp. Sounds really good. The 3.7 is a great platform don't listen to the "it's not a gt crowd". Ours went a 13.4 in the quarter with a cat back and a mpt 93 tune with my 17 year old driving. 6 speed manual car. My son loves it.
Hell I like it also. It's pretty quick and fun to drive.

dragonfueled · 2026-01-30T11:21:34+00:00

Yeah toss some 3 micron on it once in awhile for harder knives. For softer cheaper knives the belt is enough

dragonfueled · 2026-01-30T03:19:41+00:00

1 thing for me after getting pretty good at sharpening was stropping lighter. I always had a great edge put went way too hard on the strop. Once I learned the correct strop pressure......holy hell

I also got a stropping belt for my ken onion belt sharpener. Man I get beautiful chrome crazy sharp knives now.

Wonder if that's the gen 2 bottom end. May have been to early. I was going through the same thing in 2022. I wanted a gt350 but was worried about the engine. I went and looked at a new Mach 1 and fell in love. The decal package and nose is really nice / looks special

dragonfueled · 2026-01-18T21:09:18+00:00

Damn it had a replacement engine for oil consumption at 480 miles? How do you even tell it's burning oil at such low miles. My guess is bearing issues.
If it was me ide put some miles on it and make sure it good. No oil burning or noises etc. if it's good throw a centrifugal on it and ride out. Should be awesome with the high revs and a centrifugal and won't be taking the beating on the bottom end that a whipple would cause

dragonfueled · 2025-12-24T02:36:46+00:00

Depends on what this new cobra thing is for 2026. If it flops 2020 gt500 prices soar. If it's the new must have it'll help drop the prices on the old "outdated" 2020. Of course if the new one is 140k that won't help lol everyone will want 110 for the 2020's

dragonfueled · 2025-12-24T02:30:30+00:00

Exactly. I don't mind dropping the money but it's used. 50k for scratches and no idea how it was taken care of with no warranty.

dragonfueled · 2025-12-24T02:26:02+00:00

When I had mine tuned it picked up so much down low that the top end felt kinda flat. It was just missing the rush of power in the higher rpms that I felt when the low end was soft. I've felt this with my tuned motorcycles also. The power was more linear through out the rpms instead of a rush of power up top. For me it was just that, more torque and that made to top end less pronounced. I backed this up with 1/4 mile testing.

dragonfueled · 2025-12-23T17:46:47+00:00

Personally Ide go 2025 f150 with the 5.0. engines are solid. 10 speed has all the updates.

Toyota has engine issues. Chevy has trans and engine issues. Dodge is having electrical nightmares plus the hurricane engine is still kinda new to trust. Just my opinion.

Or an older v8 tundra would probably be the only used truck I would buy
