The only catch cans I make fun of are the ones installed on the clean side of the PCV system. Like, if you ever catch anything in there, you got real problems and the catch can isn't going to help.

Water in a catch can is not abnormal for any vehicle, really. Crankcase gasses include fuel vapors. Most fuels for sale in the US are ethanol enriched to some degree, which is hydrophillic. They will suck some amount of water over time. The higher the ethanol content, the more water you'll...

I can't speak for every manufacturer, but I am fully versed in what Dodge, Chevrolet, and Ford have been doing with catch cans. In rare occasion, cars like the GT500 CFTP comes with an oil separator from the factory. But, for those that do not, the OEMs have been cracking down on the use of them...

I should also mention that I have the Nismo. I'm not sure I'd track a stock Sport. Brakes...

White and gold/brass isn't bad. It's what my Redeye is:

The problem with the Pedal Commander specifically is that it's a really old design that was first invented before we all started getting adaptive PCMs (power control module/car's computer). These PCMs learn and adjust their baseline expected values as we drive. Thus, if you live in Death Valley...

I don't put corporate marketing on my car unless I'm paid. If I am, then they decide where it goes :)

Eh, the whole older demo of drivers thing isn't because older drivers just so happen to like expensive cars. It's the fact that most people tend to earn more the older they are, and by the time you're in your 40s/50s, you're typically maxxing out your raw earning potential (not taking into...

It's fairly inconsequential as the car uses intercoolers to cool the charge air. While cooler air is always better, it's just the compression from the turbos is going to superheat it anyway and the intercoolers will bring it back down. Engineering some sort of a solution prior to the air being...

I made my Z a new license plate frame today. Still waiting on the custom tag to come in, but when it does, this is going to be its frame. Airbrushed and detailed with modeling pencils. Coated in automotive grade satin clear.

I initially did my mondo stereo upgrade to drown out that noise. But, I'm not a fan of the sound of V or inline 6 engines in general.

I couldn't ever tell my factory sub was ever on. I gutted mine on the 3rd day I had the car :)

I used 11 sq.ft. of SoundShield in the trunk space of mine. Used a total of around 30sq.ft. in the entire car.

I've said pretty much all that needs to be said on this I think. I'll just point out again, that the main issue with the Nismo vs. the other trims is that when someone says they can build a Performance to meet or exceed the Nismo, and they stop at that statement, it becomes purely anecdotal...

And I've done exactly that and the brakes overheat within 2 laps at COTA.

I'm going to ignore you now, because you don't have a clue about the S550 Mustang, and you certainly don't know the first thing about running a successful SCCA/NHRA professional performance shop for over 20 years. So, we're at an impasse. Some keyboard warrior who doesn't know the difference...

Thanks, it was a great car. I put over 70k miles on it over 4 years. Sold it to a racing team that made it into an SCCA Unlim 2 car.

My 2015 Mustang GT PP (that I quoted above) was a $48,000 car. I owned a 46k sq.ft. performance and chassis fab shop and we built several hundred Mustangs between 2012 and 2020. I'll say it again... many like you claim it to be so, but you cannot build a sub trim car to the next level for a...

What I said was you can't build a GT to the GT500 spec without eclipsing the cost of said GT500. Take this car for example. This is my 1,300 whp 2015 S550 GT. It was built in a few stages. Started out with a D1X ProCharger and 800whp. That upgrade pushed the car on its stock internals with no...

The problem is caused by a combination of the smaller rotors, different pads and the overheating of the brakes. The Nismo is designed to address the lack of brake pedal feel in the Performance. It goes a bit deeper than a rotor and pad upgrade as it has added ducting for better cooling and some...
