    My turn... sold the stang

    I'd like to see if the Xb is classified as a "subcompact" like my '02 Mustang was - my smaller SRT-4 is rated as a "compact" car. :shrug:

    What Grocery Getter would you buy for a long daily commute...?

    I found a new '05 SRT4 for under 19k - 29MPG, most that I've seen are High 13's stock, 150+ MPH top speed... As for the long commute, I drive about 70 miles a day and don't have any complaints with the car.

    Problems with the 6 Disc in my 02 GT

    Mine did that and I messed with the eject and auto-eject for about 10 minutes one night and the next morning it ejected by itself when I started the car. :shrug:

    My turn... sold the stang

    I built a Scion Xb online just now and added the options I thought I'd need and it came to about 18.5k ...that's what I paid for my new '05 SRT-4, but I had to drive about 125 miles to get it. Just thought I'd mention the SRT-4 if you still wanted some performance with your gas savings at a...

    KB questions...

    And with my "9lb" kit I went with the Kool Air filter kit, 90mm Meter, Big Tube kit and 75mm TB...and with all that KB needed to upgrade my 9lb pulley to a 10lb pulley so I'd be certain to make the advertised 9 pounds of boost, but I ended up making 11 pounds. Engine held up fine, but my (3rd...

    Viper wants to play!!!

    Maybe I missed your RWHP graph link or of your ET's, trap speed...or even a guesstimate of flywheel HP?

    Viper wants to play!!!

    What is your 1/4 time and trap speed? Without the spray...I don't think you'd beat a SRT-4, much less a Viper. Good luck though.

    802 RWHP 2V

    Sweet. :nice: And let me be the 1st to say that I miss my KB just a bit.

    I guess Kenne Bell doesn't want to sell me a supercharger...

    Talk to tech first and tell them exactly what you want and they'll let you know what parts to buy, unless you already know what parts you want. When you talk to sales, they should fax you 3 pages - a "Chip Data Form" (they need to know your options) and you should also get a "Catch Code" page to...

    STEEDA Q525

    Still don't know the price, but I'd like to see how it compares to the Saleen Extreme Mustang. Here's some info on the Q 525: "Steeda Autosports Introduces 2006 Supercharged Steeda Q 525 Steeda Autosports introduces the 2006 Supercharged Steeda Q 525. The new model of which...

    STEEDA Q525

    I don't work for STEEDA and I'm not saying it is a better car, and I'm not saying that 500HP (or more) in a Mustang is better than 500+ HP in a Corvette. I was only passing along info from a Newsletter claiming 11.7 (with DR's) for the Q525 and "11.8" for the Z06 that was printed on page 132 in...

    STEEDA Q525

    http://media.putfile.com/Steeda-Q525-14-mile Not sure if I like that wing on the new car, but that run was 1/10th faster than the new Z06. Seems like Car and Driver tested a new Z06 @ 11.8

    AM I INSANE?

    Reminds me of the old beat up Nissan Sentra-ish junk that had a turbo sticking through a hole in the hood and was spanking a SRT-10 truck. If I did it (Mustang) again, I'd start with something like a '03-'04 Cobra and keep the mods light for a better daily driver. Or something like a N/A 425...

    AM I INSANE?

    Sticker price doesn't always = price paid. GTO stickered 34k, paid 28k brand new. Mustang stickered 27k, paid 24k brand new. Total investment going for way more speed and looks for Mustang (upgrading GT interior, but it still looks cheapy compared to the GTO) is nearly 40k. And I'm just...

    AM I INSANE?

    Don't get all huffy and frothy about it. Would probably be upside down on the GTO, but the Mustang was the ONLY vehicle that I could sell and make enough money to pay off all my CC debts ...and still have enough cash left over to buy a 2006 GMC 1/2 ton "work truck" and not owe a penny on it...

    AM I INSANE?

    Yeah, but I like to flaunt it -in- my garage. Already have an '05 GTO and SVT Contour in the garage, the stripped-down work truck stays outside. The punky egg throwers and mailbox bashers around here don't seem to trash the truck, but if the GTO or Contour (especially the KB Mustang...if I still...

    AM I INSANE?

    At least I had a pretty nice Mustang while I had it. :nice: Got to where I didn't need a KB Mustang, but I needed a work truck. Didn't need a nice work truck...or I would have bought it - traded a 2000 loaded 4x4 Lariat in on the Mustang, so I'm pretty familiar with better trucks than the...

    AM I INSANE?

    '03 Cobra(s) went for $22,000 to $24,000 around here so I wanted 23k but he offered me $18,500 with the promise that I'd be the only one that would be allowed to work on the car. I ended up buying a new 2006 Sierra 1500 "work truck" with nothing but a 5-speed, 4.3 V6, AC, Cruise, AM/FM ...but...

    AM I INSANE?

    SOLD the "Bad Boy" Mustang... And bought a 2006 GMC "work truck" Still in a slight state of shock but I needed a work truck and my friend (actually my dad's friend) offered to buy my Mustang, so the dealership wouldn't try and steal it from me. Just thought I'd break the bad news. :scratch:
