    mom's 03gt could be down and out :(

    If the frame is bent, **** it. It will cost too much money and time to fix it when the car is a dime a dozen. I would like to see some pictures for sure though, I like seeing wreaked cars lol. Get the story out of your brother too, I wonder what he did...

    Teflon Rear Main Seal - Wrong part or hard to install?

    Bought a new radar detector - BEL RX65

    Mine still works great, and it has the serial number on it and I've had it a year and a half. I figured if the damn thing goes out three years after I bought it, the technology then will be better anyways so it would be a good time to upgrade.

    Thinking About Buying a Corvette!

    Do it and don't look back! I hope to trade/sell my car next year or the year after for a c6 Corvette! I wish I would have bought a c5 vette instead of the WS6, stupid me.

    Bought a new radar detector - BEL RX65

    I have one and it saved me a few times. I was going to race an NSX one day but my detector went off and sure enough the cop was on the other side of the highway. I still got pulled over and got a ticket for tint though.

    Strange

    Ever try putting on LED in it? They run cooler, last longer, and won't drain your battery as fast.

    blower woes??

    I know the ls6 runs at 10.5, but I'm not sure about the ls2 and ls7. ls1s are 10.1 and borderline safe boost at 8lbs, so 9.7 should be 8-9lbs of boost "safely". Ever look into turbos? I would go turbo>positive displacement blowers (roots type)>centrifugal blowers. Intercoolers are ALWAYS...

    Cervinis Saleen Wing, Lower Decal, Other Pieces HELP

    Don't put stupid Saleen stickers on your car. I'm not saying the stripe on the bottom of the car, but the actual Saleen name on your car. It's not a Saleen, and never will be so don't do something lame.

    smoking in your mustang?

    I will not allow anyone to smoke in my car. My parents smoke and I am around that **** all the time and hate it. When I have to drive any of my parent's cars it smells just like an ashtray. Except for my dad's Mustang (leather smell plus he doesn't smoke much in it) and my moms Jeep, which has...

    Teflon Rear Main Seal - Wrong part or hard to install?

    Did you put oil around the Teflon to help it slide on? Mine was a little tight but I had no problems with it.

    Smoke in high RPMS

    Have someone follow you down the road and let off the gas, downshift a gear or two so the engine revs high and let the engine slow you down. If smoke starts to come out it's the valve seals. The vacuum will pull oil into the engine.

    Seafoam/exhaust videos FTW

    I've got two bottles of Seafoam sitting out in the garage because of this stupid MI weather. I was planning on trying it on my car this weekend, but now I guess not.

    89 5.0 VS 05 GT

    "were" is the keyword. Ls1 days are gone, in with the ls2 and ls7 taking it's place. You can't get 400rwhp out of an ls1 with boltons, whereas an ls2 it's nothing to accomplish. 400hp out the door seems to be the standard today.
