    At what RPM to launch???

    I've "heard" 2500 for a beginner is a good place to start. But the fastest NA guy I've seen launches about 5250 to 5500, but then agian, he's also lost a rear end, but not sure if the two are related. My stang is a daily driver, and I want to keep it in one piece, so I'm launching around...

    Door Panel Removal

    I have taken my door panels off to put the speakers in, and it's not hard at all. But to put the mole skin on, I did not have to pull off the panels, I just wiped down the inner guide with alcohol, and applied the moleskin from the back to the front, peeling away a little backing at a time...

    first trip to track

    Nice times for your first time out. I bet the light weight wheels help a little.

    J.D. Power On the Mustang Gt and GTO

    If this isn't a troll, someone explain to me what is. All are quotes by "johhny" Please note how the Mustang scores an impressive 3 of 5 stars in mechanical quality. As I've been saying -- Ford cut major corners on the Mustang -- and people are finally going to wise up that stuff like the...

    J.D. Power On the Mustang Gt and GTO

    Why in the world would he buy a car he has done nothing but complaign about? If he is getting one, he is the world's biggest hypocrite. So far he's started two threads, one on how the GTO and Charger kicks the stangs butt, and know how the GTO kicks the stangs butt in a J.D Powers study. So...

    J.D. Power On the Mustang Gt and GTO

    This guy needs to be banned. He is a troll. All he does is slam on the Mustang, post false info, and represent GTO owners in a negative light. I've never asked for anyone to be banned before, but I'm making an exception in his case.

    What do you think of our idea of the Shelby?

    :stupid: The front bumper looks too much like stock, but does have those extra slashes under the turns and little outer angle at the bottom. I like the hood, tail, and grill with center fogs.

    Solving the hood shake mystery??

    I've notice a couple of my bumper stops had really good solid connection with the hood, and others were not even touching. I think the hood quicklift shocks may help a little in damping as well.

    Which CAI do you use?

    I have the JLT and SCT XCal 2 with 93 JLT octane tune. Very happy with it, no problems, great throttle response, car hauls the chili, really woke it up. Very pleased. I have some UPR billet pieces under the hood, just caps and stuff and they get REALLY hot. I can't see why the C&L...

    4.10's ?

    I think 3.93 would be a nice compromise, and I've heard the Motive gears are a little better than the Ford gears. One guy in a thread was having reliability problems with the Ford 4.10's (they broke on him). I haven't tried either yet, just what I've heard.

    G-Tech Pro RR

    I finally got a chance to run the G-tech. Conditions were great: 30 feet above seal level, winds calm, altimeter 29.92, and temperature was 63, so only 4 degrees above the standard day temperature of 59F. About as good as it gets for a baseline. Since I'm an aviator, I have access to nice long...

    Here we go again---GTO vs. GT

    I'd have to give the Mustang a 9/10 for power, it is faster then over 99% of the cars on the road. And I'd give 05 GTO a 6/10 for looks, since the new hood scoops help it out a little. Still, Mustang 18, GTO 16

    05 GTs walked by Used Non-Modded Z28s

    This is easy. If you don't want an 05 GT, don't buy one. There are people who have been waiting months for one, and will be more than happy to buy one. The 05 GT is the first of the new model, so Ford is not giving up all the 'goods' the first year out the gate. Heck, the cars are already...

    Throttle body

    I'm getting the BBK when it comes out. Should work great with a S/C as well, bolt on 8-10 ponies for 3 Benjamins.

    Underhood Mat

    The engine bay gets pretty hot. It'll keep heat off your hood. Excpect the paint on your hood to deteriorate quicker without it. If the engine bay was better ventilated, I wouldn't worry about it. But it appear air flows in, but has a hard time flowing out, thus the hood "float" problem.
