    New Pics Of my COMPLETE Modded 40th Anniversary GT.

    Exactly! There's a big difference between personalizing your car and copying an upgraded model. One tends to be generally excepted while the other often invites criticism. This isn't anything new, nor is it exclusive to Ford or Mustangs. If you're going to do it, understand it comes with the...

    New Pics Of my COMPLETE Modded 40th Anniversary GT.

    The car is very different and overall really impressive. I especially like the paint with the black roof. The only thing I don't like is the Cobra rear bumper. It takes away from everything unique about this car IMO. I only have one question: As asked above, how does it ride with such a low...

    Wax/detail routines

    SVRT works really well on the tires, but it's expensive. Though I don't consider money an object when it comes to caring for my cars, a product does have to warrant its cost, and for the most part, Adam's does that with the exception of the tires. Armor All's wheel protectant does equally well...

    Wax/detail routines

    None of my cars have ever been washed or waxed. I use Adams Waterless Car Wash weekly on all my cars (including windows & rims). Ultra Finish Polish as required (but Adams makes an excellent polish also). Armor All Wheel Protectant on the tires. That's it.

    What's up with this eBay Mustang?

    ...this car has a kick ass new engine 289, 4 speed that is SUPER FAST. It's slightly above stock... Must come from the "ghia" side of the family. :rolleyes:

    Opinions on getting a new (used) mustang

    You answered that question yourself in your third paragraph. I just agreed with your assessment. You also mentioned "a fresh canvas". At the high end of your budget, you couldn't afford the paint.

    Opinions on getting a new (used) mustang

    To your original post, you can get an '01-'04 GT with few/no mods and low miles for 9-11K. For what you want to do, this is your best bet IMO. The wider you expand your search, the faster you'll find it. They're out there. I know because I have one. If I sold it tomorrow, even with its...

    Is an 8 rib pulley upgrade really necessary?

    Thanks for the feed back, guys! Just to reiterate, this thread isn't about challenging my tuner's credibility. He's nationally known, published on the topic, even been on TV and no, he's not selling anything. Moving on... darkside03gt: Thanks for the link. I'll follow up. trinity-gt...

    Is an 8 rib pulley upgrade really necessary?

    How many of you guys are running 400+ bhp with 6 rib setups? I realize I l live in a high DA area which makes a big difference but... :shrug: I'm already running a 3.125" on my centri (3.33" is what Vortech normally equates to 10 lbs). My tuner says I need to upgrade to an 8 rib setup if I...

    How do people come up with prices?

    You mean pain job. I don't think that was a misspelling as much as a freudian slip. But hey! I'm sure the half painted black interior more than makes up for it. As for this 390 hp 'o4, why did I waste my money on a blower when all I needed was a cold air intake. :shrug: I just noticed he...

    Gauge Trim Rings

    I have different rings but speaking to your difficulty installing concern, the only hard part (and it is hard) is separating the plastic lens. I used a heated knife and worked my way around the plastic. Be patient. it took me about a half hour, but no cracks. I used silicone dots to reassemble...

    Mustang Value

    Given NYC, the boroughs, Northern Jersey and LI are on the top end of the CoL scale, you should expect top end if you're selling it locally. If you're going to throw out a wider net, be prepared to sharpen your pencil a bit more. Since I buy and sell several cars a year, another trick I've...

    what is wrong with auto?

    LMAO! I zip around in my 5 sp dd for fun. My stang has an auto because I race to win and prefer the consistency. Course, it isn't stock either. Can't remember ever seeing a huge consensus that autos are "gay" though. Especially sitting on the GSP heading home from the shore in 6 lanes of stop...

    Mustang Value

    Where you live is relevant and will have an impact on the number of course. Without knowing that and assuming it's in as good of condition as you say, I'd guess between 9-11K, maybe a little more given your low miles.

    how fast do you think this will run in the 1/4?

    Lebanon Valley Raceway is north of you about the same distance as Englishtown is south of you. Look it up on Staginglight.com under the dragstrip finder. It's a fun track.

    how fast do you think this will run in the 1/4?

    Of the 3 tracks in your vicinity (I know they're all +/- 100 miles away), island is the slowest (it runs slightly uphill and holds the highest level of humidity). Try LVR or Englishtown. I ran better times at both those tracks than island.

    Drag Radials: best to buy

    Nitto 555r's are a good choice for all around driving. I've been running them for years and have no complaints. 'Course, we see little rain here and no snow, so bake that into the response. I run 315's on 9" rims without issue.

    pics of you stang and DD together

    My DD is a Hyundai Accent. It's not worthy, not is it allowed, to be in the same frame as my beloved Nike. :hail2:

    anybody running an auto with 3.73 or 4.10 gears?

    If I really behave and stay out of boost, I get 20 even with my 3.73's, but that's at +/- 80 mph.
