    Lost my job today...

    Well, I went through my shift the entire day today, finished up the work week, started cleaning up the shop when my boss came up to me and asked to talk to me for a minute. A lot of talking went down, and included me being let go, as corporate was 'cleaning up' for slow season. Guess who the...

    Shifting Issue (Cable or Clutch!)

    Go with the MM setup. OEM cable is the way to go, but getting it through Ford will run you something like $180. My mechanic hooked me up with an MM cable for something like $50. DO NOT go with an adjustable setup, like Steeda. They work, but nowhere near as well - you get what you pay for! MM...

    look at what I found on youtube

    Your car sounds like it freaking barks when you give it some of the go pedal! :D That's really cool that you found it on Youtube!

    Has anyone used a Hurst shifter and switched to a different shifter?

    MGW. If I ever own another vehicle other than a Mustang, even if daily driven and not performance-based, if MGW makes a shifter for it, consider it bought. I've driven stock-shifter Mustangs at work before, and the difference is so incredible - I don't see how any Mustang owner could NOT own an...

    Car audio head unit

    Another +1 on Crutchfield. When I had my Ranger, I went audio-crazy with it, and that company is EXCELLENT in terms of service and selection.

    Possible sale of the GTS...

    ProKiller, we play metal, pretty much. Tried to stick with some more common thrash metal, but over the past few months, compared to our EP, our music has gotten a bit more technical, and a bit more straightforward at the same time. We're called Alter Reign. nmcgrawj, no idea, to be honest...

    Possible sale of the GTS...

    Well, I just got news today. :nice: My band is preparing to sign a decent distribution deal, putting our EP in stores worldwide. The money will be a huge increase, so I'm gonna sit on some thoughts for the next 6 months or so. By that time, my girlfriend and I will have picked out a house more...

    I posted my Pioneer Balancer for sale

    Great deal for an SFI approved balancer! :) I paid around $60 for my el-cheapo Pioneer from Advance!

    Possible sale of the GTS...

    You make a good point, but the point I'm at now in life is better than it has been, ever IMO. My job is paying very well (especially for only being a 19 year old high school grad, no college whatsoever), and my band is really moving forward, earning even MORE money that is all extra. My...

    Possible sale of the GTS...

    GTO would be a good call, too! Awesome suggestion guys! I also drove a 2010 Nissan Altima today, which was a gorgeous car in terms of daily driver! Depending on the money I spend, I could always pick up a slower car for a DD, and keep the Mustang to build up over time. Decisions, decisions. :(...

    Possible sale of the GTS...

    My mom owns an 05 sixxer, and I love that car to death. It's what I learned to drive a manual in, actually. She has almost 60k on the clock, and it's only had ONE issue (t-stat housing cracked). I figured with a GT I'd be in love! :D Prices on 06's are under 20k even with like 30k miles that...

    Possible sale of the GTS...

    Well, I'm starting to think the time is coming up to where I may get rid of my GTS. :( The car has been the same for almost a year now, and I don't want to mod it anymore than is already done. I feel like I'd be wasting money, knowing that the car doesn't see the track. I'm sick of the exhaust...

    Are 30lbs too big?????

    ^+1 When I was planning on throwing a single turbo at my little ole pushrod, my tuner recommended 42#'ers, and that was only to hit around 350-400 at the wheels. 30's are definitely too little!!

    I'd like to hear from some centrifugally blown daily driver owners.

    Sounds like what I'd love to DD! The way my car sits now, is just unimpressive. I've ridden in street driven 8 second cars, and ever since then, my car just screams "I'm slow, don't gas it". I may punch it once in awhile to remember why I like torque so much, but I just genuinely love my car to...

    I'd like to hear from some centrifugally blown daily driver owners.

    I can't speak from experience, however I can tell you what I know. So long as the tune is up to par, maintenance is routine, and the car isn't bordering on 'dangerous' levels for the motor, I have never heard of any issues, particularly with guys running Vortechs at safe levels. Local guys...

    Kumho Ecstas... Bleh!

    I went to Disney on Tuesday with my girlfriend and her family. On the way there, I picked up a bolt in my right rear tire. Went through the sidewall and out the tread area. Luckily, it didn't leave an air leak, and I actually ended up driving 90 miles home on it (while constantly pulling over to...

    Got called out...

    ^ I disagree completely. I can honestly say I've beat a car with TWICE the horsepower as mine in the 1/8. It was a friend of mine's TT 300zx. My car has mods in sig, his made around 390 at the rear tires. Both of us on street tires, he blew the tires on the launch, and I instantly pulled buses...

    I purposly lost about 20hp

    As a GTS owner who was forced to go wingless... I love seeing other wingless Stangs! :nice: Such a smooth look on our SN95's.

    How do you make your loved ones understand...

    My girlfriend and I both work our asses off. She's in school, and working full time. I work two jobs, and run an LLC (my band) on top of that, so we both get what we want. The moment I saw my first 2011 GT in person, she actually has been pushing me to go check them out at the dealership and see...

    Thinking bout an '11 (5.0 vs GT500)

    A 2011 5.0 has already gone into the 10's with an UNTUNED 100 shot, 4.56 gear, and slicks/skinnies IIRC. With that said, if you're looking for a fun, mostly stock DD, the GT would be my pick. However, if you're looking for a 9 or 10 second 1/4 mile car, that can be driven daily, I'd go with the...
