    What wheel size suits you?

    It's makes perfect sense, and jeez Anthony I made the 'mistake' of going larger than 18s didn't I? :) If you want to maintain the same section/sidewall height as an 18" tire on an SN-95 with its stock overall diameter, then you have to go up to a 19" tire on an S-197 with it's larger-than-SN95...

    Anybody playing on these?

    Mine were $285 for the rears (ouch) which are 295/35-19 and $230-ish for the front ones I think, which are 275/35-19. You could save some money and rotational mass and go with 18s but I just couldn't after seeing a few with this combo. I'll just add more power at some point.

    Anybody playing on these?

    I'm on 'em as well. Grippy but a little noisy. Like the cool tread design, for what it's worth. :)

    GT-500 delayed? ?

    Argh! I'm not waiting on one, but I need in the GT500 parts bin for my '06 GT. I wonder if parts will be delayed along with the car, or will they start to set all of that up? I need the supercharger coolant tank, front mount heat exchanger with bracketry, electric pump with bracket, and all...

    What wheel size suits you?

    I like 19s for best all-around looks/performance. Would I like a lighter wheel/tire combo? Yes, but the wheel openings on this new Mustang are huge and hard to fill. Having 19s on this generation is equivalent to 18s on the previous car relative to the overall diameter and section height of...

    Ordering a new 'stang

    Look at his sig. He has one of these :hail2: next to his wheels. I'm afraid they're for real. Horrible choice, IMO. They look very heavy too.

    Throttle body advice!

    I would go with the one you have on your car right now. :shrug:

    2005 billet fuel door?

    Not really my cup of tea either, but it would look a lot better with the current 'GT' logo style on it, not that of the '85-'86 GT. :nonono:

    New GT500's hand-built engine?

    Yep, that's it. Do you have any more pics of the production version of the GT 500 engine bay?

    17 or 18 inch? Ride Quality vs Handling?

    You just can't compare 18s on the new car vs 18s on the old ones. The new chassis and suspension is so much better that harshness is not a problem. I had the same concerns, and now I have 19x9/19x10 on mine and couldn't be much happier. There is a slight difference from the 17s, but not much.

    ready to order a blower, help me choose!

    Would you happen to have any more info on this blower kit from Steeda? Are they developing their own kit in-house?

    Polished Valve covers for the GT?

    Thanks for the info. Anyone have a 4V valve cover laying around I can color match? I should have kept my '98 Cobra around for a little while longer.

    Polished Valve covers for the GT?

    I'm talking about the paint code for the 4V valve cover paint just to clarify. How about '03 or '04? :)

    Polished Valve covers for the GT?

    I already received a set of FRPP silver cam covers and sent them back because the quality of the finish was disappointing at best. FYI, the silver ones look like 'primer wrinkle'. I was anticipating a smooth metallic silver similar to the factory 4V cam covers. There was no description...

    2007 Shelby GT500 Pics and Specs

    Lol @ 3920 lbs! Wow, what a relief this car is - I thought I would regret buying my '06 GT last year when this thing came out. I do like the powertrain, but would have prefered an aluminum block.

    Loudest Exhaust?

    Get that Saleen hood and run tractor pull headers straight out of the vents. :shrug:

    very basic supercharger question

    That's true. The Saleen supercharger has a lot of the same redeeming qualities minus one - the 3yr/36K mile warranty. I suggested the Roush as an alternative to waiting until after the original auto warranty had expired to supercharge his car. The Saleen actually has more potential for power...
