    TIP-a smart idea.

    I was browsing through a Cobra builders forum I belong to, and there was one fellow getting ready to install a beautiful looking engine in his roadster. It was the first time I've seen pipe insulation used on engine hoist chains, but it sure seems like a smart idea to me. Protects the body...

    Resident Alien

    Not sure if the TV series Resident Alien available to watch back East? It's actually a pretty funny show, although it can get goofy at times. I guess it's an all ages TV series, but it does have some innuendo type jokes that likely only an adult would get. If you have happened to watch it...

    Supercharger's anyone?

    Why have just one when you can have two? This dual Paxton supercharger configuration was originally used on the Supersnake Cobra way back in the 1960's. It was rumored to produce 800+ horsepower in a car weighing around 2400lbs. Pictured here is a 427 Medium Riser in a 1967 Shelby GT500 that...

    Mach E outsells Traditional Mustangs in 2024

    The S650 seventh generation Mustang had the worst sales ever last year. The history book for the iconic pony car stopped and trembled, at just 44k units sold in the US in 2024. That's almost ten percent less than in 2023, and in 2022. To add insult to injury, in 2024, the Mustang Mach-E saw a...

    No donuts for you!

    I don't know about you, but playing around in snow covered mall parking lots, after closing hours, was one of the best ways for me to learn car handling. Four wheel drifting, controlled slides, safe braking with near zero friction, etc. etc. I did it pretty well every chance I got, as it doesn't...

    Factory Five Racing's new 2025 MK5

    Some new tools have helped with the new model being released this year. Designed to fit the Coyote engine, but they can still be ordered for other engine choices, including big blocks. Back in the day when I built mine, the 302 engines were mainly used, and the 87-93 5.0 Mustangs were the donor...

    Dark Horse

    Our local Ford dealer has this 2024 Mustang advertised as having the Dark Horse package. Is this a dealer dress up, where they add a few accessories to make it stand out a bit more, and then give it a catchy name, so a buyer has something to brag about?. I would see this happen at some of the...
