    LS driver nailed for going 239 km/h (149 mph)

    239 km/h is 149 mph, and the posted limit of 80 km/h is 50 mph. Apparently the fines alone could exceed $10000.00! In addition, the car can be destroyed under Ontario law. I have watched on TV the destruction of a couple of rice racers under this law; it would be sad to see an LS pancaked like...

    Tardy Downshifts 2nd Gen - related to A/C?

    I just got in to work after enjoying a spirited drive in. I had turned off the A/C since it was cool outside (15 C / 60 F). I noticed that the transmission was much less hesitant to downshift when accelerating. Those of you with 2nd gens know that, when accelerating from a roll, the trans...

    LStang

    Has anyone ever seen this pic before? It is an LS with an early prototype of the 2005 Mustang front-end. This frankencar was used to help evaluate the LS's DEW98 platform (chassis and powertrain) as a possible platform for the 2005 Mustang. As you may know it was rejected for a number of...

    Michellin Pilot Sport A/S tire review

    Just got a set of Michellin Pilot Sport A/S tires (stock size) installed on my '06LS Ultimate to replace the virtually new factory Michellin Pilot MX MXM4 tires. I decided to replace the MXM4s because I was not particularly impressed with their performance on my '02. And since I will be driving...

    Ram-air intake?

    We all know that there is no space under the hood for forced-induction systems like superchargers or turbochargers, and that's before even considering the technical difficulties of adding such a thing to an engine which already runs a 10.75:1 compression ratio. But has anyone looked into a...

    How to change front turn signal bulbs?

    Can someone please guide me through changing the front turn signal bulbs on an '03+? There obviously is no room behind the headlight assembly to simply pull the bulb, so I assume that the entire headlight assembly needs to be removed to make room. I don't need a step-by-step, but an idea of what...

    06 owners: LED interior lights?

    06 owners: Does your LS have white LED interior lights? The 06 brochure states that it does (page 8, "Fine, white LED lighting illuminates the cabin"). Mine does not. The interior lights get hot after several seconds, and they have a 'warm' color, both of which indicate that they definitely are...

    New LS

    I just bought a new 06 LS Ultimate! It's black/black with Chrome wheels. (In Canada, there are two models: Sport and Ultimate. Ultimate includes literally every available option except chrome wheels and the Nav system). I pick it up on Saturday. I will try to take some pics as soon as I can. At...

    215/55R17 Winter Tires on stock rims?

    Hi everyone, I have searched but didn't find much discussion surrounding winter or snow tires. (the rather weak search engine doesn't help). Does anyone think there would be a problem in using 215/55R17's? They are the same diameter as the stock 235/50R17s (within 0.2%), but will they be...
