This past week we had an older man come in with a gt500 complaning about wheel hop, as we all no this is normal for are cars without upgrading rear suspension. So me and my service manager talked the guy into getting the BMR LCA's and UCA so he ordered them from brenspeed whom i recomended him to talk to Brent. I got to put the parts on yesterday at work, the best day i have ever had at work. Overall the gt500 hooks up so much better the tires jus poof up in smoke LOL. I finshed the install and grabbed another tech to come out with me (shaparone jus in case a got a lil to crazy) Got to rost the guys tires a handfull of times then let the other tech drive it. Honstly between driving the gt500 compared to my gt my car takes of so much faster, throttle respone kills the gt500. The 500 relly insnt that impressive unless he gets some go fast parts. In my eyes its a gt with a 5.4L supercharged wasnt that impressed. im trying to talk him into intake n tuner well see wut happens. Just wanted to share my story, first time I got to drive a gt500 off the lot. Anyone have similar storys, Lets here wut you think GT500 or GT? Pros Cons
Sorry... but I dont have a similiar story.... but where are you from?? Im in queens, NY. Also, do you have clips of the Pypes mid muff system with the headers and the X?
What happened to the stock GT500 LCAs? Scrap bin, customers trunk or destined for someones V6 or GT? Can A guy get his hands on them very easy? Pay ya to dig for em.
Sorry... but I dont have a similiar story.... but where are you from?? Im in queens, NY. Also, do you have clips of the Pypes mid muff system with the headers and the X?
Long Island , I have sound clips of the pypes without headers, with headers, also with O/r X and with high flow cats in the X. Im at work right now ill post a forum when i get home with the sound clips.
157 the guy was real anal about getting the parts back tossed em in the trunk, There bassicly the same LCA's as the gt but painted gray and slightly lighter, he came back the next day and was so happy he said him and his buddy were out all night doin hole shots LOL
Im trying to talk him into the brenspeed package with the intake tuner and Pulley i think they say the package nets another 100hp Not positve one that thou. trying to get him into a short shifter to.
Dont get me wrong the car would be great with s few minor upgrades and would smoke my gt. But i like my whip!

Im definately interested in the pypes clip with the high flow catted x. I had an O/R H on mine for like 4 days and took it off bc it was really really loud for an every day driver. Its not loud enough now with the stock H Thanks

I had slps and switched cause i really got bored of them, the pypes is great the mufflers are basicly resonaters i had my bassani o/r x for a week above 3000 grand it was jus to much so i just put the high flow cats in while i did the headers sounds awsome iv gottin so many compliments. . My dealer is mod friendly but you cant go in demanding **** that dosnt work anywhere it dosnt hurt to pay 35 bucks for an oil change when comming in for warrenty work with modds.
marcuskeeler LOL i dont usually beat on people cars cause i wouldnt want that done to mine but this was diffrent, the owner bassicly gave the invite to burn em up, BTW he didnt tip the tip was beating on the car. He will be back, now I jus have to slip himj my # and cut the dealer out they charged him 4hrs 89.95 per hr

I'm sorry but that pisses the hell out of me when you tech's do that in cars you don't own. If you want to beat up on a car do it in your own ride. Just last week the dealer was replacing my blower in El Centro and he too piled in 2 other guys and went screaming out of the parking lot in my car and didn't come back for about 15 minutes. I was f*cking raging on him when he returned, first thing I noticed was my intercooler temp was at 165, and I had 23 extra miles on the odometer. I gave him a terrible review 3 days ago when the Ford quality assurance survey came in the mail.
Bottom line it's not your property to be roasting the tires, it's a different thing if the owner consented and or was in the ride with you at the time.

Me and you are kinda following the same path here... I had SLP's too and got bored, and wanted something with more growl. I love the pypes system... has more of that gurgley sound we all love. Im basically looking for a ford dealer who is mod friendly for basic bolt-ons ( i think we all are). Not sure if you've heard of us before, but come check us out on the web, www.LIStangs.com join up, introduce yourself. Maybe I can hear the car at an upcoming meet. Have you been to OBI/Captree on Sunday mornings?

Did you even read the post The first thing you do when a cust. has a complaint is verify the concern in this case it was wheel hop so when he signed the Repair order that was consent to burn the tires
Yes iv heared of LI stangs, maybe ill see you there or if cunigham park is still goin on

you beat me too it, at least I'm not the only one that thinks this is plain disrespectful. The dealers out here don't even give you a test drive in a corvette unless you actually give them a deposit down, no one gets to test drive a Z06 before they purchase it. Then that person that slaps down 60-70K for that car gets his first oil change and sees his ride screaming down the road from some $10 an hour tech.
True story the local dealer got sued for $150,000 when a customer came in to have his custom oredered Z06 have new wheels and rims put on. The service tech peeled out of the parking lot doing a left hand turn, ended up spinning out and hitting the curb and ultimately a wall and tree. The guy sued for punitive damages and I believe won due to neglegence on the dealers part.

so because he signed a release form that gives you the right to "roast his tires several times" as you put it. You realize that he could have sued your dealership for more than the value of the car if you had wrecked it and he will win in court everytime. Sorry if that was my car I would have been in your face like I was at the El Centro delearship. A consent form doesn't give the dealership the right to put 23 miles on the car and take the intercooler to almost overheating because they were obviously beating up on it, and last why take 2 other people with you in a customers ride?

I now exactaly where your comming from 07scgt but u must not have read he gave consent and was cool with it End of Story! it was me and another tech who origanelly got the car before me, i then told the guy about upgrading it. After you install mods you dont test them out to see if theres anything wrong?
BTW i didnt think this thread would be so controversal!
< Message edited by NyFordTech -- 10/20/2007 9:23:49 AM >
Sure I test them out, meaning me. THat's exactly why each and every time I drop my car off I put her in valet mode , which is 35 MPH top speed and max rev 3K. I left my tuner in Az because in my wildest dreams never thought I would break down in Yuma. Long story short, my tuner is piece of mind that no one is beating up on my car. All of the mods that I have had done, I was the one that drove the car afterwards, and yes the tech was in the passenger seat.

+1 Gotta test the new installs to see if they corrected the wheel hop. I saw nothing wrong with this tech and his form of testing. "Got to rost the guys tires a handfull of times then let the other tech drive it." I dont see any highway hot rodding being done here. No bad. Customer said that testing was alright? I thought so. Back off.
I would be the same way if someone was instaling my stuff belive me i see exactlly where your coming from but this was a totaly diffrent situation he was totaly cool about it and had no problem with it, its not like I beat it in to the ground. Sry if anyone get affended for me test driving it after the install wanted to make sure everythng was good and to see if wheel hop was gone.
Sorry if I went off a little, it's just so recent to my bad experience with the guys beating my car up with my S/C swap. I mean 23 miles isn't a test ride that's a joy ride. Yes, I did sign a consent form, but it never read 23 mile test ride on the consent form.
I'm sure you do a good job, and your manager obviously trusts you enough to let you take the car out, and that says a lot about your character and integrity.

By the way, I am a service advisor, so let me put my 2 cents in. I am sure when the customer dropped off the vehicle, it was explained to him that they will try for wheel hop when it is done. At that time the customer could either say. No way, I will drive or Do what is needed. You can't just drop our cars off at a dealer with that kind of concern and not expect them try it out when done. imo.

My job is great - 
Honstly between driving the gt500 compared to my gt my car takes of so much faster, throttle respone kills the gt500. The 500 relly insnt that impressive unless he gets some go fast parts.
