    Mr.Emissions is calling on Mr.Hpipe

    Emissions time has rolled around for my "illegal" mustang. The previous owner of the car installed a BBK Xpipe NO CATS, and I have a Hpipe w/CATS via my friend. I've looked under the car and as far as I see, a couple bolts at the header, a couple bolts to the exhaust, and those silly o2 sensors...

    changing gears - 3.27 or 3.55?

    Not to sound like a broken record, but go with 3.73's. I had 2.73's- and YES, it is a 4 world difference.

    VW R32 vs. LX 5.0 ?

    Theres been alot of talk at my school about these 'uberEUROcars' and how amazing they are. i will admit and do respect their 240hp AWD power and sleek look, but i still wanna run against one. obviously i would get owned off the line with him getting 240hp at all 4 corners.. but from a roll...
