    Traction Help......

    I never said anything about removing the sway bar to improve traction. But i still disagree that installing a stiffer bar will improve traction, unless you mean replacing the factory sway bar with one specifically made for drag racing such as the BMR Xtreme anti roll bar kit...

    Wheels And Traction

    I cannot answer that from 1st hand experience. However there are several members on a Boss 302 website I belong to that run 305s and a couple with 315s and according to them they do not need the bracket. There is also another '12 Boss owner I run into at local cruise spots who has 305s on...

    What The Heck Is This Gismo???

    I removed mine. The result is a much cleaner looking engine bay. The interior is noticeably quieter. All I hear now is the exhaust. I have an Airaid CAI which can be installed with or without the sound tube, and includes the necessary plugs if you chose to remove it/ Here is a write up from...

    2012 Mustang Gt Mt82

    Yes we are I realized that after your 2nd post. You are talking about the piece that bolts to the floor of the car behind the shifter, with the rubber bushing held in by 2 zip ties that fits around the back of the shifter. I was thinking about replacing that as well, but I think the insert...

    2012 Mustang Gt Mt82

    Ok. I only have the Whiteline mount insert. Everything else transmission wise is factory, and like I said it is night and day, The insert has completely eliminated all of my shifting issues, I can't speak to the insert in combinations with other parts, and I am not saying it is a cure all,. But...

    2012 Mustang Gt Mt82

    Except that everyone who has installed the stiffer bushing, including myself, find that shifting is dramatically improved. It feels like a different shifter. Ford uses a spongy rubber transmission mount for the same reason the use things like flimsy compliant LCA s and a 2- piece drive shafts...

    Well if you are going to get rims only for the drag strip then just get a set of 18x10s for the rear they are less expensive then 19s and there are more options for DRs and slicks. Also be careful with the 305s if your car us lowered.

    There is a slight variation by brand. The 305/35-19 nittos have an outside diamter of 27.44" nitto 255/40-19 which are same size as the factory front tires on my Boss have an diameter of 27.17 which is pretty close.

    ^ What he said.You can make it better, but you are never going to completely hook up on the street. Your best option are drag radials. However if you stick with 19s you choice of DRs are limited. In my opinion if you are set on sticking with 19s the best option is a 10.5 inch wide rear rim...

    Just Bought A 2011 Gt......

    Well used car values do vary depending on where you live. I'm on Long Island,according to Cargurus.com GT Premiums within 100 mile of me with similar mileage as yours are going for 19k-21k. So I think you do good. Enjoy the car and welcome to Stangnet!

    My car is a '12. The hood shakes at high speeds. I'm sure its not going to fly up or off but it is disconcerting.

    Spectre Cold Air Intake And Check Engine Light Woes

    Yea I mentioned that you may not be able to find a canned tune for that CAI, since it is an unknown or little known brand. Before you start throwing stuff away, I would put the stock airbox on and tune it for that see if the light comes back on. Maybe that CAI you bought is just no good. Even...

    :nice:It is a good discussion. My hood starts shaking and looking like its gonna lift off at around 120-130. Maybe I'll get some hood pins and take a ride with you to that "racetrack" in Mexico

    No issue.No misunderstanding We were discussing the top speed of the s197 Mustang and you said to "to get close to 200mph in these cars you need close to 1000hp, they are that bad aerodynamically". I pointed out that the 13-14 GT500 is a 200mph car and doesn't have close to 1000hp, you told me I...

    I guess we are talking about 2 completely different tests, and I guess you have no interest in watching the link I posted . They clearly state that the temps are over 100 degrees,not 64F in fact it is so hot they have to stop testing and try the following morning when it is cooler. There is no...

    Well Ford claims it made 202 on the Nardo Ring in Italy, but as far as I know it has not been run there by any of the automotive press.I agree "approaching" certainly is not the same as "doing" but it is the same as "getting close to." which are you words. The article you skimmed must have...

    Top speed of a bone stock 2005-07 Mustang GT

    Not really, I think its fair to say that 196 mph is close to 200mph. I wouldn't have thought that a 2000 foot elevation would have any affect at all. Apparently Probst and MT thinks it does Well, you never said anything about reaching 200mph in specified distance let alone a mile, but if you...
