    Why high power V8's are better.

    and I thought the mod motors were low on torque... Sad thing is, noting the narrow powerband, even with 500rwhp its probably only a high 11 second car...

    05 mustang mush

    well for some people its more the ride there than the final product...I know plenty of people that restore/build up old cars, then sell them for 2/3 what they put into it, just because they enjoy fixing them up so much. IMO for me its about building a car by myself, making sure its perfect to...

    my first expirience with the 05 mustang

    I dunno, I think a lot of people here (myself included) would like to own a 69 Mustang someday :)

    What if it wern't what it is?

    probably would not buy it without a V8 unless there was some evidence that the V6 was going to be a decent power producer (for example, I would love to have a Buick GN with its turbocharged v6). As far as styling goes, if it wasn't as retro as it is now I probably wouldn't be wanting it quite...

    What will be your first modification to your GT?

    Flowmasters, then SCT tuning. The tuning will be key with these new cars.

    Long Block Vs Short Block????

    you will spend way more trying to get power N/A on these cars than you would just getting a Kenne Bell or something. I think the current 4.6 2v RWHP record is something like 368, and theres a LOT of money in that car. A shortblock is the basic block with internals (crank, rods, pistons, etc)...

    Bent axle?

    if the only time you can get it to happen is on one spot of some driveway somewhere, the problem isn't with your car its with that section of pavement...

    Checked out 05 today.

    personally I like the 05 styling, more for what it CAN be than anything else. I am one of the few that actually liked most of the 05 Roush package, and couldn't stand the 05 Saleen at all. I sat in a V6 a week ago, it seems to have fixed a lot of the things I really don't like about my car...

    Kenne Bell 2.2 on GT...RESULTS and PICS

    well I think this thread has made up my mind on getting a KB over a twin turbo...if this kit can support a 9 second car, thats way more than I need it to do right now so I'm happy.

    What to buy with $2500

    IMO, the KB 6lb kit is $3600, do that now (or whenever you can get $1100) and in the future when you can save up another $1200 or so, get the intercooler upgrade. plenum/cai/exhaust/whatever doesn't even come close to worth it on these cars. KB also notes that the stock gears work great with...

    Pontiac GTO vs Mustang GT

    actually the 86-87 Buick GN's could spank the Corvettes of the time as well, probably why they only lasted two years :D I used to be a big GM fan, but lately they just aren't doing anything I like...power is good but not if it looks like that thing does.

    Stuck in a rut on what to do next.. Next mod???

    um...far as I'm aware the stock GT block is good for 700hp or more...its the stock rods/pistons that start giving out early...

    02’ GT VS 04’ G35

    not sure I would agree with that at all...the SOHC motor has almost no bottom end at all compared to most V8 powered vehicles that I have driven...mash the gas at 2000 RPM in 2nd gear and you can feel it dragging. By comparison my 95 T/A could still sit you back in your seat at 2000RPM in 2nd...

    Who have home made Drilled brake rotors

    actually drilled rotors really aren't the best thing around anyway since it allows stress cracks real easy...ball milled rotors are much better. I wouldn't do it...the holes have to be chamfered properly to avoid stress risers, the rotors probably need to be a bit thicker to make up for the...

    05 Saleen with fake exhaust

    not really sure I understand the benefit...the exhaust is only going to flow as much as the smallest restriction, so if you only have one 2 1/2 pipe coming into the muffler whats the point of having 2 coming out? Unless the muffler itself is restrictive enough on the one path that it NEEDS the...

    No 18 inch wheel eveyone e-mail ford and scream

    thats all well and good but you aren't taking the tire into consideration. If the tires are the same overall height, the increased mass from the rim will be offset somewhat by the decreased mass of the heavy ass rubber tire on the end of it. I don't know anyone that has lost .6 in their...

    2005 Mustang Drifting DVD

    can you provide us with any credentials to prove you are who you say you are and that this event is sponsored by Ford Motor Company? No offense, but this sounds like you want to put together a DVD of people thrashing their new Mustangs and then sell it on Ebay or something.

    old news for the gto owner

    oh, and for the earlier years I think we should use Trans Am numbers...the gap would get pretty big some years :D

    old news for the gto owner

    pretty sure 91-93 5.0's were all rated at 225, down to 215 in 94-94, up to 225 again in 96 up to 99 where they went to 260. Camaros/Firebirds 1993-1995 were all rated at 275 excepting special models, and 1996-1997 were 285. 305 was for the WS6 likely, and 305 on the Mustang side is a Cobra...
