    Shelby/Kicker Shaker speaker upgrades

    Thanks for the info, I will join the boards, as I just picked out the car tonight, and am awaiting dealer transfer from NC to here in Charleston. It only has Shaker 500, and I didnt even listen to it tonight on the test drive. Good thing I get another chance before signing on the many lines...

    Shelby/Kicker Shaker speaker upgrades

    Honestly, I have always preferred sq to spl. I don't care if you can hear it 10 feet away if its reproducing sound as it should be heard. I hate the current fad around here where guys are throwing marine grade speakers under the car for the world to have to suffer hearing. To give you an...

    Noob Help Cali car vs other states car

    Thank you for providing the details to the answer. Now I can stop worrying about if the car was originally sold/owned in California, and concentrate on finding the ONE with the options I want, and with luck, I could be putting a "new to me" stang in the stable within the next 2-4 weeks.

    I think there is more to it than that also, and in today's market, I think its more and more common to see perfectly good lease turn ins and trades end up going to auction. Its nearly impossible to find an 05-09 GT Premium 5MT at a local Ford lot and when you find one its got over 30K miles...

    Noob Help Cali car vs other states car

    Lease car and auctioned, its actually located in So FL, but its at Carmax (5 day money back guarantee) and has a clean history report through Autocheck. I know that things can be hidden from either Carfax or Autocheck, like paying for crash repairs out of pocket and not reporting to insurance...

    Noob Help Cali car vs other states car

    I'm not smoking anything at the moment, its hard to smoke anything in a 4cyl jeep wrangler, which is why I'm getting a Mustang! Seriously though, I remember when the cali emissions resulted in lower HP/TQ numbers, and thusly I question if there is any difference... Glad to hear there is little...

    Shelby/Kicker Shaker speaker upgrades

    I currently dont have either, but I am shopping for an 06-10 GT Premium, and if the Shaker 1000 makes a huge difference, I will try to limit my search to those. I planned to pick up the full Shelby kit, which includes a larger amp for the 6x8s and door woofers. I have priced going the full...

    Shelby/Kicker Shaker speaker upgrades

    Has anyone upgraded the stock speakers/amp with the kit from Shelby? If so how much difference is there in the overall sound quality? Is it really a plug n play kit with no mods necessary to the doors/deck lid? I have priced upgrades through various websites, and consistently end up with a...

    Noob Help Cali car vs other states car

    Can anyone tell me if the Cali emissions cars are vastly different in power output/upgrade ability to cars for the other states? I ask because I am currently searching for an 06-09 GT, and the one that has caught my eye was originally a Cali car. I know that they have to meet the more stringent...

    Decisions decisions.. used 08-10 GT or order '12 GT

    Ok so I am a noob, and currently in the market for a GT Premium MT. Here is my dilemma, I can either pick up a low milage 08-10 GT or possibly order a '12 GT with the exact options/colors I want. To me it seems like a no brainer, if the finances are there, get the '12 for the 5.0 and better...
