    GT500KR underrated? 5.0 Mustang dyno tests the King of the Road

    Practical daily driver the vette wins big time over the mustang. I'll take 30mpg and an 11 second car over 21-24mpg and a 13 maybe 12 second car. The new vette interior is pretty sweet, especially the Z06. And I would take a Z06 over almost any Mustang (minus maybe a 03 cobra) Don't get...

    Water Mark Removal

    clay should work and if not your car needs an acid bath. Acid bath will require a pro to do it and it's not usually cheap, either.

    Tint Removal

    Want to sell those tail light covers? I have been looking to get some used since the 50+ dollars for new ones doesn't tickle my fancy lol.

    Two questions for those of you with offroad X pipes (or H pipes too)

    Yeah, when you get a tune it should go away. You are probably running really rich right now with the 93 octane tune. Once your car is properly tuned and isn't pig rich, you wont smell it as much. You will still smell it and your exhaust tips will get black and possibly your rear bumper. Just...

    How to best avoid stalling/drifting from a dead spot while on a steep hill ?

    He. Is. Joking. Basically saying to push clutch in, let off brake, floor it, pop clutch, and hold on. In laymens terms, just let the tires smoke and then go. /sigh

    Going to buy a 2010 Camaro

    I highly doubt it will retail over 50k. There were people saying the retro Mustang in 05 would have sold for 50k plus with markups and it didn't even come close to that. Somebody might get suckered for buying it at 40k, but I would bet most of the Camaro's sell at or around the 30k mark if not...

    Can I take a new m3???

    Ehh, M3 drivers all look like either young douche bags or old dudes going through a mid-life crisis. I'll stick to my Moostang :p

    How to best avoid stalling/drifting from a dead spot while on a steep hill ?

    The e-brake trick is the best one IMO. Pull ebrake up, then try to take off with the ebrake still on. While you are letting the clutch slip, lower the ebrake at the same time. Pretty simple in practice and works really well. I usually just rev a little, let the car roll back some, and then move...

    New old guy here, basic Qs

    Did it for the GT500 coming out. Helped brace the engine bay for the 5.4L iron block that was stuffed in between the fenders.

    easy power

    Friend of mine has the Magnaflow magnapacks as an AB. Before he went turbo, he had the Hooker LT's and X pipe that I have on my car (bought them from him) and it was one of the best sounding exhaust set ups that I have ever heard. Definitely a good choice :nice:

    Axle and drive shaft rust?

    Just so you sleep a little better, it's almost always surface rust. If you live in a salty area (up north or on the beach) you might want to pressure wash and paint or something. I wouldn't worry about it all that much, though.

    Finally own an S197

    If you are going to stay N/A I would get this stuff in this order. Everybody has their own preference, but this is how I would do it. CAI/Tuner (SCT, preferably) Axle Back of your choice Off Road mid pipe (if legal, if not, high flow catted mid pipe) LONG TUBE Headers (shorty headers are...

    Corsa exhaust?

    I didn't have drone w/ the Violators but I didn't liek the sound much with shorties and an off-road h pipe. If you get corsas they sound good stock. but once you get exhaust I think they sound like ass.

    Heard Ford might be SOLD on CNBC

    Lol uh...I know for a fact that honda's have better overall quality than fords. but lets say you are right. The problem with ford is that their only vehicle that makes a significant amount of money per car is the F series trucks. Namely the F150. With gas the way it is (and yes, contrary to...

    Can I take a new m3???

    Get a twin screw/centri/turbo and go race him. With 4.10's, Whipple, Long Tubes, and street tires at 32psi I ran a 12.60 @ 116.

    Radar/Laser Detectors? Suggestions? Anything hidden?

    I have the 9500i. Love it. It has paid for itself plenty of times already. I rarely speed except on extended highway trips but I like to use it for when I do a nice open blast on a backroad or something. The one thing you need to remember is that even with a radar detector, it doesn't detect...

    Heard Ford might be SOLD on CNBC

    Agreed on all points :nice: My point was that if you have the money to get the S4/RS4/etc... you can get a VERY well built, performance orientated, IMPORT vehicle. Don't get me wrong, I would still rather own a domestic V8 just to have that roar under the hood. But then again, I wouldn't rule...

    How do you figure? Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and almost every other import manufacturer have plants in the US and actually pay better and have better benefits than the American manufacturers...

    Heard Ford might be SOLD on CNBC

    Even performance orientated owners can get a great car over-seas. Audi S4/RS4/etc..., anything porsche besides the boxter, the new Lexus F series (i think that's it), and other cars. And even if you just want to go fast in a straight line, the S4/RS4/etc... will out accelerate any stock Mustang...
