Cars Suck!

[smittytx]

That is all.

 

[Grant 302]

Blasphemy!

Not sure if I want to subscribe for the answer to what happened... :-\

 

[Justin]

Any reason?

 

[RoushF150]

You're right. The more air they suck the more power they make and the more fun they are.

 

[cloud9]

That is all.

Sounds like maybe a bad day at the track? Been there done that, said that too!

Must resist NSFW remark... ;-)

 

[colticus]

When compared to two wheels, I agree.

AMA Trials this weekend in my backyard ;-)

 

[ORANGE CRUSH]

Sometimes yes. I like it better when they don't.

 

[JScheier]

Yes... Suck! Squeeze! Bang! Blow!

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

You sticking to boats from now on?

The car runs great, but my alternator is toast. I'm near Tulsa OK and the closest one is in San Antonio. WTF? They say nobody stocks them because they don't break. I think I'm going to put a bigger pulley on the new one to slow it down.

Out of 16 races this year, I have finished 4. Very frustrating!

Next year will be better

BS they don't break. I have already had two fail. The last one was on backorder for two months. Fortunately my buddy had oredered one for his GT but didn't need it right away so he let me take his.

 

[2012YellowBoss]

I had one fail also. The 302R, at least the ones I know, have bigger pulleys on them.

IIRC, even the standard Boss alternator is different than the 5.0

Just something to keep in mind...

It is different than the 5.0......presumably to handle the higher revs......

our alternators work overtime as they have to cope with electric power steering rather than hydraulic steering
and the more caster you have the harder it works

Awesome tech right there.

The Boss alternators have a larger pulley because of the revs, but they also have a one-way clutch to keep the belt from flying off during upshifts. The clutch allows the alternator to overspeed the belt when the RPM changes suddenly on upshift.

Interesting that Ford didn't learn their lesson from the 03-04 Cobra's dying left and right.
