    anyone had the cold start prob. and found out what it was?

    Is it a weak cranking problem, or does the engine just not "catch?" If it just keeps cranking and cranking, check the IAC valve.

    Where to get a pc interface kit for the Diablo???

    You could get the kit from Diablosport, but it's cheaper, easier, and faster to just buy the parts at Walmart. Also, that 1000 mA rating is no joke; those suckers draw some serious current.

    car stalls when taken out of gear after cruising speeds

    Did it stall right after you installed the blower? What are your mods? Have you heard similar complaints from other members with a similar setup? Sorry for all the questions, and I probably won't be able to personally answer your question, but I'm pretty sure that someone here can help if you...

    x-plan price on GT vert

    Thanks for the advice, guys. That's about what I thought. The only reason I was considering the Shaker 500 is because I have become too fat to install stereo systems anymore, and too cheap to have them installed. How is the base radio? Also, how easy is it to back out of the deal, in case my...

    x-plan price on GT vert

    I'm planning on going to see a dealer about ordering an 06 GT (coupe or vert, depends on price), and I was wondering what the prices would be. The options I would want would be the interior upgrade, Shaker 500 (possibly), and side curtain airbags. It would have to be the deluxe; I don't care...

    new 05 V6 with dual exhaust?

    Yeah, I guess, but for what he paid he could have bought a GT and had some change. Anyways, it looks and sounds good, so I guess he's happy; I'll post some pics if I can (he drives a truck, so is usually not at home).

    new 05 V6 with dual exhaust?

    I have some questions about dealer options on the V6. My brother just bought one, and it has a hood scoop, ground effects, tinted windows, and dual exhaust. Does anyone have any information on this, or did the dealer just customize an ordinary V6? It sounds good; not as good as his wrecked GT...

    totalled car; no way to put stock tune back from predator?

    My brother totalled his Mustang, and has not been able to put the stock tune back into his predator; if the insurance company takes the car away, what are his options? He wants to buy another Mustang, and would like to be able to use the predator. I know Diablosport won't support Predators that...

    4.6L vs LT1/LS1

    How do you figure? The Mach has only 300 HP; I know that HP doesn't tell the whole story, but that means that the goat has 33% more HP than the Mach. Are you sure you're not thinking of the '04 goat?

    4.6L vs LT1/LS1

    I think if you had a decent launch, you'd kill it. You're right about the Cobra eating the goat; I occasionally visit a goat forum, and they (generally) have great respect for the 03/04 Cobras. The thing is, what about a BLOWN goat? One can only imagine...

    4.6L vs LT1/LS1

    I hate to admit it (at least on this forum), but I sure would like to test drive the 05 goat. It may be ugly, but you can't really argue with the hp/tq from a 6L LS2.

    4.6L vs LT1/LS1

    Actually, my GT just seemed to feel faster up top; my Z28 was an automatic, and it always felt like I needed another gear, whereas my GT was a 5sp, and I could downshift as I pleased. It may also have felt that way because it lacked the low-end torque of the high displacement 5.7.

    4.6L vs LT1/LS1

    I've owned a 95 Z28 vert and a 2000 Mustang GT, and I must say that I liked the GT much better. I broke 3 transmissions in the Z28 (engine was pretty solid, though), and all that went wrong with my GT was the IAC valve. I'm not sure which was quicker in the 1/4, but I would have to say that...

    Engine Dying?

    When your IAC valve goes bad (at least when mine did) it begins as a VERY intermittent problem; however, once the engine has reached its operating temperature, the IAC won't cause the engine to die. Again, this is what mine did; I had to give it throttle until it warmed up, then it ran fine...

    what exactly does...

    Does it run OK once it has started, or do you need to keep your foot on the gas? If it runs fine, then it's probably not the IAC valve. When mine went bad I usually had to keep the throttle partially open (wide open when it REALLY needed to be replaced) for a while before it got warm enough to...

    just got my car dyno'ed!

    It's been a while, but when I had my 2000 GT, I remember arguing with the Jiffy Lube tech when he told me I was short 1 quart; he wanted to put in 6, but when I bought the oil, I checked the manual and it said 5.
