    Black 2005 mustang for sale local!

    My thoughts exactly. Some companies like Porsche Cars North America do that. The dealers eventually figure away get around it though, like having the owner of the dealer or the GM buy it, then leave it in storage, or on the showroom floor, then advertise it as a "new" car and jack the price...

    Was fortunate enough to check out the Porsche Carrera GT this weekend! Pictures too!

    I did get them installed. Thanks. I yanked the rear for now. I'm hoping to go IRS but they are not as easy to find as they used to be. Oh well. No hurry. Too busy working. The owner of the Enzo did start it up for us and I was able to sit in it and lightly rev it. Sounds sweet. The...

    Was fortunate enough to check out the Porsche Carrera GT this weekend! Pictures too!

    I was able to go spend about 2 hours looking, staring, drooling and marvelling over a new Porsche Carrera GT on Saturday. I've had the good fortune of checking out a prototype version of the Mercedes SLR, a production version of the Ferrari Enzo and then the GT this weekend. Out of the three...

    Tacoma street race ends in crash

    I couldn't agree more. Go to the track or go to a sanctioned time trial event like Speed Week, Silver State Classic or something like that.

    New Dyno numbers after AF and Timing adjustment.

    That's what we were looking for on all the runs but for some reason the car just kept going rich around 5k. Jordan managed to iron it out quite a lot but he was still having trouble for a few hundred RPM. Jordan- Made a few calls and I'm waiting on some folks to get back to me. From the...

    Try searching the forums before asking this kind of question. I'm quite positive it's been answered at least a hundred times. This is the kind of thing that really makes people on this site mad. Good luck in your search.

    My turbo '03 Cobra powered '96 lives (video)

    Jon, Once you get your wideband back you should call me up so we can set up some dyno time. I'm very excited to see what HP and, more interestly to me, TQ figures she puts down. I keep meaning to call you to check the progress but we've been slammed trying to get a few cars to Vegas for...

    Did anyone watch the discovery channel on 9/29 on racing the '05??

    Caught the last 20 minutes of that show. Hope to see the whole thing next time around. The blower did indeed sound familiar to your car! The exhaust note was somewhat similar as well. Both cars(GT and the '05 'Stang) look great, sound incredible and most importantly, go like H E L L...

    Did anyone watch the discovery channel on 9/29 on racing the '05??

    I watched it last night while spending some much needed quality time on Stangnet in between commercials. BTW... It's a race car so who cares what color it is as long as it goes like hell!? Who ever can afford the car will also be able to afford to order it in whatever color they want. It...

    Looking for 99-03 IRS. Trade for 8.8, Rear control arms and $

    I'm looking to add the IRS for handling purposes. I love drag racing so it'll make the occasional trip but no slicks and I'll have to walk it off the line on drag radials. I was aware of the 28 spline vs 31 spline. There is also a gearing difference but, being a former automotive technician...

    A few videos from the TQ/HP Freaks dyno day

    Glad to help! I was wondering if that worked out ok. I intended on calling the shop this weekend but I didn't have much time due to the PAAX show at the Expo Center. Saw some crazy stuff. I finally met Art Morrison! What a nice guy. Especially due to his considerable fame in the hod...

    A few videos from the TQ/HP Freaks dyno day

    Thanks for posting those clips Jon! I wish I could watch and post some of the vids I took last weekend! I left my charger in Seattle! Doh! Maybe when I get the batteries charged up, you might be able to give me some pointers on how to post? BTW, thanks for bringing your car by the shop...

    Post your Dyno Day results here

    I personally had a great time and one of the best parts for me was getting to put all the Stangnet names to actual faces. It was nice meeting you all and we hope to see you down at the shop soon. If you see any of the guys who were straping, unstrapping, working the BBQ or the dyno, they're...
