    Anyone seen this?

    I'm hoping that Ford (I'm sure they're aware of the issue) is working on a fix for it. I'm sure if yours has problems, you'll be able to get a working one eventually. It's a pain I know, but I guess that's what we get for getting these cars when they first come out. And like I said, they do...

    Anyone seen this?

    From what I understand, the shaker 1k people are having the same problems as us 500 people. The thing sounds just fine, it just likes to skip, fast-forward, and eject your cd's a lot.

    525+ HP is on the way for me!

    How much $$ is the Procharger kit? Sorry if it's posted elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.

    Procharger

    It's a bolt on mod that puts your car into the 11's. Dude, it takes you more than 11 seconds to refill your windshield washer fluid :p.

    05 GT: Bassani VS. Flowmaster - thoughts?

    In my oppinion, the stock exhaust sounds great; I love the deep, smooth tone it gives out. I just wish I could turn it up a bit. If I can find an aftermarket cat-back or axle-back that does that, I'd get it. Otherwise I'll just wait until I can afford an entire exhaust system, from headers to...

    New Revision from DiabloSports -Awesome-

    From what I understand, you can get on the DS website and download any tunes that are available. So no, you would just need the one Predator.

    what to put on the stang?

    If it were me, I'd go with the Package #2, and then get LCA's and better tires and you'd be set. Some good sounding exhaust isn't still going to be within his budget at that point though, but that isn't as important to everyone. I'm against getting gears for some reason, makes me think I'm...

    what to put on the stang?

    #1 - Lower Control Arms. This is a must, you can add all the power mods you want and it won't mean squat when you're wheel-hoppin down the drag strip. Even without other mods, LCA's will probably shave a good .2 off your quarter time. #2 - I'd probably get a nice axle-back exhaust...

    1/8th mile ET

    I've only been to the track once so far, and I'm sure I could get it a bit lower, but here ya go: Best 1/8 mile - 9.345 @ 77.70 MPH My stang is bone stock. I'm sure with a little more practice (and getting rid of the damn wheel hop :mad: ), I could get it into the 8's.

    Just lay off the cruise control. ;)

    Holy Wheel Hop!!

    Thanks for the info, that's impressive. In addition to solving the wheel-hop, that makes me pretty optimistic about getting my time down without spending tons of $$. I wouldn't have thought 12's were possible on this car with so few mods. Btw, you and I have the same exact car from what I...

    Holy Wheel Hop!!

    Does anyone know whether or not there is a performance difference between the billet and non-billet LCA's?

    LCA and UCA pros and cons

    What did you pay for the BMR LCA's? I am looking into getting LCA's, and the Steeda billet ones are a bit on the pricey side.

    Holy Wheel Hop!!

    Thanks :nice:. I'll give that a shot before dropping $300.

    Holy Wheel Hop!!

    That very well may be the case, however I turn the TC off anytime I'm going to be racing, so TC is not a factor in the wheel hop that I'm experiencing.

    Opinions?

    and to answer the original post, I like the stopping at the trunk thing :nice:

    Opinions?

    That looks pretty sweet. I am considering doing some silver stripes on my black GT. Is there any real downside to doing vinyl instead of paint? I definately like the idea of vinyl since it's cheaper and of course if you end up not liking it, you can take it off a lot more easily. From what I...

    Holy Wheel Hop!!

    Just about meaning...? Do you still get a little when you launch? Man those Billet ones are a pricey for LCA's. I guess if it fixes the problem though, it's worth it. What makes the Billet's better?

    Holy Wheel Hop!!

    :rolleyes: I'm not that stupid. JK, I definately had traction control off. I probably would have had less hop with it on :p. Not saying my run would have been better, but I'm guessing less power to the rear wheels would equal less or no hop.

    Holy Wheel Hop!!

    I know there were a few threads about this before the server crash, however I haven't seen any since. I took my car to the track for the first time last weekend (had a blast!) and my only complaint was the tremendous amount of wheel hop I would get at the launch. My best time was a 14.35...
