And are causing 16 ot 20 HP loss. Anyone have any further info or how to tell? Can I just go buy the correct filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not expert, but 16 horse isn't going to account for more than half a second in the quarter mile???? my 98 cobra totally bone stock would do high 13's.......and only 300 horse???? and from what i've heard the 12.8 is a bad run as well..........maybe driver??? I'm glad I have my car now, so I don't really care what is said about it....I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected a 300 hp car to run alot harder than that (could be the drive-by wire issue) Since I got my GT500 I have been hungry for more power and just can't seem to get enough out of it.

yenrod Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Do any of you guys know if this filter problem would show up on Ford's recall section web site with your VIN # entered??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloy Dave Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Do any of you guys know if this filter problem would show up on Ford's recall section web site with your VIN # entered??? I don't know about that website. It's hard to say whether this would be a recall or a TSB issue. One of our dealer folks should check this and weigh in...budford, ratnacage, or that other guy who's name I can't remember (no disrespect, just a bad memory ).

Where did the guy from svtperformance get his from? Was it just a mached-up proto type? All the local auto part stores, no Ford dealers' part centers do not carry a replacement STOCK air filter??
