X2 What'd you break now?? You either have reayl bad luck or are really hard on stuff ?!?!?!?!

in 5th or 6th gear when you give it some pedal it almost feels like its missing/skipping ....... of course they have to call the engineers

and they cant seem to get the tires balanced (replaced one already )

oil change , and a bath (living in the country she gets dirty )

I just don't understand why someone would buy a new truck like this and take it out and race it..... you do know there are some ford engineers on here seeing how you are racing your new truck and I would void all warranty if it was me......

Come on Coug ,take a chill pill,them engineers could'nt give a shit less what you do w/your truck. They are engineers not detectives. I think it's good advertisement.

Engineers aren't the problem, its the Bean Counters and Laywers.......

The year the Taurus came out with the Eco Boost, a guy ran one at Bowling Green and Ford knew it less than an hr after he ran low 12's with it at the race. His local dealer ship was advised too.

Blake if memory serves me correct he camped over buy me and Red . He goes by the nick name Beefcake and he also worked at that dealership that he got it from. I think all manufacters know what goes on without be told!

His name is Terry Reeves and he works at a Ford dealership in the Cincy area.
That dude doesn't keep a new vehicle long.
Last year in BG at the NMRA finals he became the first person to win an NMRA race in the new 2011 Coyote 5.0 Mustang.

The dealers do the same thing down here you will see them running them without tag or a drive out tag on it and even seen dealer tags on them

Good thing it isn't up to you.

Holy Shit ...I raced my golf cart this weekend at the Hollow...I hope Club car doesn't find out

But i guess pulling a enclosed trailer up a long hill miles at a time is harder then 15 seconds down the dragstrip.Come on man think before you make remarks like that.

Later Mark.

Blake,

FWIW,That Taurus wasn't stock it had a tune in it that's why the warranty would be voided.The Taurus SHO is a 13 second car from the factory.

For the life of me,I still can't figure out why anyone would want to race their golf cart.I'm turning your azz in to the Club car engineers.

Maybe its because he can't see over the steering wheel of his T-bird?

Only reason I wouldn't be able to see over the steering wheel in my Tbird ...is if I put all the big checks and trophies I've won in it

Nope ,don't need em..Your just jealous because you couldn't take a D9 dozer and shove your FaT aSs in my Tbird ,so you could drive a fast car
