    Paint color history question

    I think there were 2 reds around that time. There was the regular bright red color and a deeper metallic red called strawberry red.

    99-04: Subtle Differences

    Don't forget, they also changed the intake manifold in mid-01 to the one with the aluminum crossover.

    What I've done with my sick day so far..

    Looks great! I have the same exact stripes on my hood. Be very careful with them. Mine developed spots on them and I can't get them out. I called the manufacturer, since I only had them for a year and they would not warranty them. They said it was either from car wash soap or acid rain. My car...

    Ran 12's on a stock engine, automatic convertible.

    Nice! I will be getting my nitrous kit for Christmas this year. I am running an auto with a Predator too. Did you have to get a custom tune to run with the bottle?

    look what flew over my house just now

    I am another huge WWII aviation fan. I'm a diehard B-17 guy and love Thunderbolts too. If any of you guys live in Florida, Fantasy of Flight (in Polk City) is a great place to go. They also have the annual Mustangs & Mustangs show in April. last year there were over 300 mustang cars and a few...

    Audi TT is messing with me BIG TIME!

    Just find his car in the parking lot and pee in his gas tank. That way, when he gets up next to you & floors it, your "special yellow additive" will make his car sputter & die.

    Help with Diablo Sport Tuning on Mach 1

    If your car is an automatic, you can firm up your shifts. I did it on my GT and it made a difference. Just up the shift pressure & torque modulation.

    My 4.10's going in this friday...

    Congrats! I went with Richmond gears also. Don't forget to break the gears in properly. The Richmond gears are not heat treated. Unless your install shop bakes them for you, you will need to go through a break in period. My tuner suggested 100 miles in 10-15 mile increments, stopping for at...

    Thinking about buying this GT (help*)

    I would have to agree with the majority here. Shop around. I bought my 02 GT last year for $15000.00. It only had 15k miles on it, was in showroom condition, had cobra R rims, and had damn near every option available. I ended up driving into rain on the way home & watched the water bead up on...

    Torque

    I had my '02 GT (auto) dynoed a while back & came away with 245 hp & 251 tq. I have noticed a lot of other cars with similar hp numbers, but they all have way more torque than mine. What is the deal? A buddy suggested that it may be due to a lack of back pressure since my exhast is pretty wide...

    Wax as you dry

    I use Wax As U Dry in between hand waxes. I like it just to keep the wax job looking fresh. I get a lot of compliments on my car's appearance too.

    will a stock 5.0 beat a stock 4.6?

    I was able to take my buddy's 92lx when my 02 GT (automatic) was stock. He even had 3:73 gears and he is a capable driver.

    2004 Convertible GT Auto (1st trip to drag strip)

    Your planned list of mods is very similar what I have. My car is an auto hardtop & runs 13.9 @ 99mph on worn out stock goodyears. With drag radials, you should do better than 13.8.

    gears

    I have 4:10's in my 02 auto and I love them. It will make a big difference.

    Cobra Blocks

    I am considering building a 4v motor for my GT. Are there any differences in the 4.6 cobra engine blocks from year to year? I know the heads & cams changed in '99, but I never heard anything about the block.

    New here, new car!

    The spark plug problem was fixed in mid 2001. The stock intake manifold on the 99-04 GT's are good. The 96-98 ones were the ones that cracked. I have had my 02 GT for a year and I love it to death! I still get excited every time I go into my garage & see it. By the way....There are a lot...

    Thinking of getting a 4.6 how reliable are the mod motors?

    The manifold problem was mainly with the 96-98 cars. I had a 98 & it happened to me. The 99-04 manifolds are fine. You will want to be careful with the 99-01 cars though. They seem to have had a problem with spitting spark plugs out of the motors. I have not heard of any problems with the...

    will this work??

    It will not work. I ran into this when I had my X-Pipe installed. The one that was shipped to me was for a 96-98 and the oxygen sensor holes are in a different place than on my 02. I ended up having to get a different one. Also, I have Flowmasters with my o/r x pipe. It sounds very good, but...

    N2O for daily Driver?

    Nitrous is not a bad thing! I know quite a few people who run nitrous kits & are very happy with it. The only people who blow up their motors on the bottle are boneheads that don't know what they are doing. They either use too much or don't properly set up their car for it. My best advice is to...
