Could see some smoke from the exhaust, kept into it and went 12.8@117. Got to the end of the run off and car felt sick, some banging from under the car, thought I'd bent the tailshaft or something. Anyway the banging stopped as soon as it started and I drove carefully back to the pits. Still some blue smoke out of the exhaust, popped the bonnet and loud dack, dack, ...

MONEY. With enough MONEY, you can throw out all those cheap and nasty speakers they put in at the factory and replace them, the sub and the amp with real audio gear, and the difference is like night and day. No need to replace the factory stereo, just the speakers. I have had this upgrade done to my FG and couldn't be happier. If I had known it would make this much difference I would ...

Amidst the euphoria of Ford's decision to add EcoBoost, liquid injection LPG and turbodiesel engine options, the future of the company's 5.4-litre Boss V8 engine is far less certain.
