    You guys see this LS1 Notch?

    The Ls1 is lighter than the the 32v and it can make a lot of power n/a. Something different is always nice to see.

    Which is more fun handling or just speed?

    Yeah, I think cars like the GSR Integra that I drove was fun or an svt focus. They didn't have much power, but they were fun...you could beat the crap out of them and not worry. A fox has more power, but it isn't quite as nimble. With about $1500 in the suspention a fox would probably be MORE...

    Which is more fun handling or just speed?

    What do think is more fun....a Mustang that can handle and brake very well or a Mustang setup to go fast in a straight line? After spending some time on miata forums, the mindset is very different. When they talk cars its about fun and balance. When cars are discused on fbody and mustang...

    QUARTER WINDOW TRIM RESTORED! PICS

    How hard was it to tape off the side mirrors? Did you just outline the tape around the glass part? Also, the little flexible plastics things that are in direct contact with the bottom of the window--did you paint those too? thanks

    Bolt on 93 Notch vs 06 GT possibly soon, what do you think will happen?

    I do too. The 5.0 Mustang has nothing to prove when compared to newer cars...it already dominated its era and established a cult-like following. Its like comparing a 1st gen Mustang to a foxbody--the fox is all around a better car, but guess which one I'd take?:p I'm sure most other 5.0...

    Short belt question

    I'm wanting to run a short belt, can I bypass the p/s, smog, and a/c? If so, what size belt would I need for stock pullies and what size would I need if I get underdrives? Do any of you drive your car daily with no power steering? How is it?

    Got a Question about Stock HP #'s on 5.0's

    Maybe because most f-bodies are fugly :p and they do have some weak points like the rear end, weight, price of mods, price of car, 4l60E trannies suck...my friend runs 12.4's all motor but he's on his 3rd trans.

    Can I beat my buddy?

    Most 99+ GT's will run 14-14.2 with a good driver, it doesnt take much to get a 5spd 5.0 running the same times. Many people have run those times with nothing more than a gear swap....or less. If someone can't get a 5.0 running in the 14.1-14.3 range fairly easily I've gotta question their...

    Can I beat my buddy?

    I may be wrong but a 87+ 5.0 is 225hp compared to 260hp for the 99+ GT, torque is basically the same. With a catback, h-pipe, silencer out, timing bumped, and maybe 100lbs thrown out of the car the 5.0 should have a very good chance. An LX 5.0 should also be about 250lbs lighter than a 99+GT.

    Speeding ticket in NC

    I had a 106 in a 55 about 3 years ago....I know very stupid but I got it reduced to 70 in a 55 and I also got a PJC which kept me from getting any points and insurance increases. With the small ticket you have the lawyer will settle it in 5 minutes and you'll be done.
