    Anyone blow up an 05 with boost or Juice?

    The title says it all. I have heard several people express hesitation (due to the rings) about putting any form of unnatural aspiration on these. There have got to be a hundred or so boosted 05's running around. Many putting down overf 450 rwhp. Any Kaboooooms so far? Who is running...

    GT 500 or Saleen

    I have a buddy with a 95 saleen s351r with 26k miles on it. He says he's thinking of letting it go and asking me if I'm interested. I'll drive it next week and see if it makes any sense at all for me. He reports 498rwhp and 500#rwtq. Sounds like a fun beast. Be a damn shame to...

    For All Those Interested in Speeding Ticket PREVENTION, Please Read!

    I've been fortunate to train dozens of law enforcement officers over the years. They have all said they will absolutely write a ticket to a girl who is crying. Even if they approach the car with the idea of just giving a warning, they will absolutely write a crying driver. Again, I'm...

    Salesman is ticking me off

    Absolutely right. You decided that the receptionist (FEMALE) was not incompetent and at fault for something a the salesMAN did. You did this with absolutely no evidence which even mildly suggested that she blew it. I don't know one way or another if you are sexist. It would be stupid...

    Salesman is ticking me off

    My dealership isn't marking up GT's right now. Further you could get the first one on the lot for msrp. Sure they had couple of grand MARKET ADJUSTMENT, on the window, but they were more than willing to make it go away if you said, "I'm not paying that." You are absolutely right that the...

    Salesman is ticking me off

    Wow Dan, If I understand your post correctly, you were 100% wrong. Blamed a nice young lady who was faultless. Exonerated a man who was completely unprofessional. Told me to gain patience, because it was the girl who messed up (stated as fact when it fact it wasn't). and I am being...

    Salesman is ticking me off

    Dan, WRONG, WRONG, WRONG I was leaning on the desk as the receptionist spoke with him on the phone. I heard her asking him questions like, "How long will you be in the meeting?" and, "Do you have his number?" I also sat there when she gave him my cell and one of my businesses. I'm not...

    Salesman is ticking me off

    Actually, I'm not trying to forced them to do anything. I ASKED them if I could get on the list. They said,"Sure, just give us a deposit, you're the first one to ask about it, so you're number 1." I asked about pricing and if they would be marking them up or if they could promise me msrp...

    Cervini Side Pipes

    that is one tight ride. On the other hand as an old white guy, I might not be nearly cool enough to pull it off. DAMN

    Salesman is ticking me off

    Hey guys, I definatly appreciate all of the highly motivating input. Ok that's a little sarcastic, but I do appreciate the honesty that you guys are giving me. I understand the truth of it all. That said, yes I do have a couple of hook ups within this dealership. I haven't called them...

    Salesman is ticking me off

    So I went down right after the Shelby was unveiled at the NY auto show and asked a salesman, if I could give him a check for a grand and get on the LIST. He has no idea how to do this and the salesmanager isn't in that day. I wait a few days, go down find the same salesman and offer up my...

    Just getting a 66 and wondering about wheel size and tires

    I have a 66 fastback with vintage 45's in them and 245's in the back, 225's up front. I love the vintage's they really look old school with the added handling advantage of superior rubber

    Should I switch to Electric Fan????

    I'm also a spal fan. Moves quite a bit of air when idleing. Unlike a stock mechanical fan which moves practically nothing at idle. Also frees up a few ponies. Not a ton, but it seems to be a little noticable with the seat of the pants o meter.

    Killed Porsche Carerra Tonight

    Thanks all, it was a kick. I got home and immediately called a couple of my muscle car buddies (gm guys, but nice rides none the less) to tell them of my little unofficial arse kicking. They were almost as stoked as I. Shame I'm going to be selling it next year when I get my 07 shelby...

    Killed Porsche Carerra Tonight

    So I'm driving home on a pretty busy little street tonight. Beautiful New (no tags yet) 911 keeps pulling up beside me. I give him the thumbs up for his smokin ride. He looks over, repeatedly but never gives me so much as a smile and wave. After about 3 miles, I have to turn right, so...

    What would you like to see in a S197 BOSS Mustang?

    I would like to see Salma Hayek and Halley Berry giving an oil massage to angelina Jolie. Hey, I can almost see it now. And there I am in a cable guy outfit, "Hello Ladies, where would you like it hung?" Yep, that's what I'd like to see. Infinately better chance of me buying the new Ford...

    Attn Voorhees: GT500 Vert pics..

    I agree that a gt350 would be a home run. However since that is still a maybe and a longer wait. I'll go ahead and get the 500. As per out of reach for the common man. a loaded accord is 32k. 39k for a shelby is a freakin steal. Ford has been pretty aggressive about being under 40k...

    New Mustang GT Fender Badge

    I would prefer (were I in the market billet) further I think the 281 sounds sweet. Being as I'm on a waiting list with deposit holding for the new gt500 neither applies
