Was that the first Sunday practice? I had slept in an extra hour to try to get over whatever I had on Saturday and was still checking the car over in the paddock. I heard tire howls coming out of "the biznitch" and looked up in time to see you doing your best impression of "Wrong-Way Charlie" going...

Mark,Thanks for bringing the "S" up to Hallett this weekend! I enjoyed seeing it on track...........mostly from the back ::) I was in the red #49 (the slow guy in your group.....) I really wanted to make it down to your section of the paddock to see it up close, but was feeling a bit under...

Watching the video from the previous thread and the first sequence here, I was beginning to wonder whether anyone in the automotive press industry actually knew what an apex or proper track-out was. Or whether they were just afraid of scuffing the wheels on the "curbs"............ ::)The video...

No, just an architect. But I've been working on Fords since I could walk ;D My father restores Model A's as a hobby and restored his first when I was 1.5 to 4 years old. Those were cars where that term really applied in the original sense.

That's a term that has been around since the carriage building days. When the carriage body was assembled, the term they used was "buck". So, it is still used. When the body parts are all welded together, the body is being "bucked". And that generally happens 3 or 4 days before the car heads to...

Been crazy busy lately and missed this thread. Very exciting! I'll be thinking about you on Tuesday.btw: If production is scheduled for Tuesday, you should have already been to the body shop this past week! So, how does it feel to get "bucked" by Ford? :D

The fact that SCCA would disallow the LS in "Stock" category is not surprising. When I was corresponding with some of the national officers about the Shelby Terlingua, they indicated that one of the criteria for stock classes was to have production runs of 1,000 units or more; thus eliminating...

Thank you for not posting the results in the thread title!This year, all of the Grand Am GS races will be broadcast in tape delay. I very much enjoy watching them BEFORE I know the results, but invariably someone always posts the results in a thread title to spoil it for me. I think this is...

It's just that we went through all of this non-sense 5 years ago with the GT500's. And lots of dealers tried to use it as leveredge for ADM's back then. Basically if your dealer submits your order before Ford is ready to pull that order and put it in the process, then it's status will read "On...

This means nothing!It's just Ford's way of saying they are not ready to build that unit yet and they don't have the parts for THAT car laying around the plant yet................. More fear-mongering from dealer/sales person types........... ::)

I don't think there are enough "smilies" to convey my excitement for you! This is awesome news!Thanks Bossfred for passing this info along to other enthusiasts. I am pretty confident that we've rescued another LS from the plastic bubble museum, so it will be be able to stretch its legs on the...

I think the '05-'09's are allowed to run with a rear wing................. Steeda, IIRC.

Re: Looking to purchase a Boss? Find a Dealer InsideDean,I called them the day before I mailed out my deposit to an out-of-state dealership just to give them a chance at my business. That was almost two weeks ago and they haven't called back yet.I saw your post on the other forum asking...

Re: Looking to purchase a Boss? Find a Dealer InsideThey have 8 base allocations and 1 LSI think the regional rep told them to go ahead and order the first two last week as they called me about one of those two units.
