    gt500 price

    My argument is that if a Shelby is worth 65K or more, thats the price Ford should set as the MSRP. Dealers are greedy. I would liketo see someone try and agrue that point.

    Tucson

    I lived here in the mid 60s and again in the early 70s. I always wanted to come back....so here I am.

    Saw my 1st GT500

    At IBM in Tucson. The guy was just coming into the access road. The look in a magizine is nothing compared to the look on the road. Then I saw a 93 Cobra in a parking lot, it was a good Mustang day.

    Roadtrip

    My move to Tucson is complete. The first trip was Saturday of last week in my F150 pulling a U-Haul trailer. 25 hours on the road to go 1400 miles over 2 days. I had the 2 weiner dogs so the stops were a little more frequent and longer, but it was a long haul. I flew back to get the Stang...

    gt500 price

    A good friend of mine wanted one until he started getting jacked around by every dealership he went into. So he went the easy way and bought a Vette. They treated him very well, he got a great deal, and his ZO6 will dust a Shelby everytime in the quarter and on the twisties. Isnt it crazy...

    fog lamps

    Look at my avatar. In my opinion thats the only wauy to do it if you want the GT foglights. I installed the bumper and grill with all oem parts down to every push pin, nut, and bolt. Except for the window tint and mirror inserts my 05 is all Ford.

    All things exhaust

    Also get the slip connector for the left midpipe. The right midpipe already has one. I bought every single nut, bolt, hanger, and connecter for mine. It cost alittle bit more, but my exhaust fits and functions perfectly. Zero problems after 1 year installed.

    Base Recipe for a high performance 4.0L

    Considering the cost of building a 6 vs the GT: When i bought my 05 it was $20K, the only option being the auto. GTs in the fall of 05 had 4-5-6K markups on the sticker. I couldnt find a GT anywhere for under $31,000. So I figure that Ive got $11,000 to work with before I get anywhere near...

    All things exhaust

    I was under the car when the shop did my duels. The V6 has 2.25in pipes comming off the exhaust manifolds, they come together at a 2.5in collecter, from the collecter back, its 2.5in just like the GT. The GT has 2.5in pipes all the way from the exhaust manifolds to the tailpipes. This...

    S197 Weight Reduction

    I didnt get the shaker or a rear spoiler. The next best thing is dont add a bunch of useless weight. Look at all the threads that people post about the "cool" mods they found. Nothing more than alot of expensive, useless weight.

    Dual Exhaust on a budget

    If you cut the factory y-pipe in the right place the x-pipe will slip right over the y-pipe and hang on the factory hanger. The downpipes from the V6 manifolds are 2.25, the x-pipe is 2.5, so the x-pipe will slip right over the downpipes. No tweaking or sectioning needed. Thats what I...

    Base Recipe for a high performance 4.0L

    In my day it was all about performance mods. No such thing as body kits and big heavy mega buck sound systems. My 05 is a deluxe with the base stereo and spoiler delete. I would like to have the heads worked and add a x-charger. I think that would be pretty close to 300rwhp.

    Delima: How to spend my $

    I so want the x-charger. I also want to restore my 84 20th Anny GT350. I also want to sell my 05 coupe and buy a Redfire vert with the parchment interior. I can do one, but not all three at this time. Common sense tells me to restore the Anny. Ive had the 05 for almost 2 years and just...

    Buying my son a '05...

    bamachips.com Doug is one of the most knowledgable on the 05+ 4.0. UM, without rehashing what you already know.... The MAF and TB are matched, changing out the MAF and keeping the same TB is pointless. I think a retune with the oem airbox, TB, and MAF is fine. The $300+ for a CAI will...

    Buying my son a '05...

    Charcoal interior? Thats what my 05 Redfire V6 has, along with GT bumpers, GT dual exhaust, GT premium wheels. I love mine, the only other Stang I would rather have right now is the same car in a vert with the parchment interior, but mine is also paid for and no car payments are a joy.
