I want an R almost enough to make me part my 07' out. Almost. Gotta keep the 07' though.

I need to get back on the track with more frequency. The last 6 years off have been nice, but I'm ready again.

 

[Herknav]

I need a better job...or more hours.

I might sell myself on the weekends. I think it'll be worth it....,

Yeaaaa. It'll be worth it

I am thinking the same thing.

You have a REAL record pending....

What? Are you saying my Universe Record for the world fastest white S550 with a M122 blower, 20" wheels, blue trim and built on a Wednesday when it was 56deg out isn't real?

You're right about that REAL record though. That will be this spring. Someone is going to get dick punched.

How long until gt350 parts are retrofitted to gt's? I'd love to have the ability to go to a 305 with factory-like fitment up front.

Well, you would need:

-Fenders
-Hood
-Bumper cover
-Splitter
-Core support
-Steering knuckles?
-Dampers?

.....Just to get started.

We put 285's on our S550. They are almost touching the strut and the fenders needed to be rolled a bit. Big mods to get 305's under there.

I'm curious on the cost of the front aluminum fenders.

I'm curious on the cost of the front aluminum fenders.

They're useless without the hood and bumper cover. They won't line up.

 

[GallopingFord]

Yeah, I understand that. I'm simply interested in the cost of the single component.

Will they line up on my 09?

 

[Steve@Tasca]

At the big Tasca discount $751 each, they retail for $1139 each.

Yes.

Considering a regular fender retails for right under $300, that's quite the price.

Yes.

S550 front end swap on a S197?

Meh, why not.

This is amazing to me:

From post #760...

"The 5.2L engine was designed for 93-octane fuel, but will run on 87 octane with only a 15hp decrease in peak power." ...from an engine with 12.1 CR.

Your body shop guys love when you bring them challenges like the fiberglass roof... I am sure they would love to customize an S550 front end to an S197...

Right!!! I don't have the heart to put 87 in my wife's LEASED 2.0 ecoboost Escape

I would imagine they use the TiVCT to decrease the dynamic CR...?

 

[claudermilk]

Hmm....#1 on that list. Really? It isn't blatantly obvious as soon as you look at the car? That jumped right out at me the first time I laid eyes on it at the LA show--and it fixed the main aesthetic issue I have with it. The rest is interesting info.
