    Katrina and my '05

    I live in LaPlace. For everyone reading this, the order of citys from east to west is: New Orleans (Orleans Parish), Metairie (Jefferson Parish - seperated from New Orleans by the now famous canal/levee that was breached), Kenner (Jefferson Parish - about 6-7 miles from New Orleans), a 12 mile...

    Katrina and my '05

    Pliskin: Sorry if I seemed abrupt. Gues I'm just venting a little bit, but I am guilty of holding out until the last minute. Usually it take a Category 3 storm before I consider leaving. Even this time, I did not think the storm would come as close as it did. Thats why I left the GT in...

    Katrina and my '05

    Again, thanks for the kind thoughts. I am very fortunate. Pliskin: I usually leave town for a hurricane. In recent years however, people have become so numb leaving town for two days for "the big one" that they do not pay so much attention to the media. I even hesitate to leave if the...

    Katrina and my '05

    My car is OK House OK too. It is amazing how much of a difference living 12 miles from Metro New Orleans can make. New Orleans will NEVER be the same. Watch the news. Eventually the world will know the truth about how this situation was handled. Thanks for all of the kind thought...

    Katrina and my '05

    Well, I got out of the New Orleans area with my wife and two kids. Eventually, everything will get back to normal. But, I might be replacing my '05 GT. Had to choose between the Mustang or the Explorer to get out of town. The Mustang is sitting in my garage. Don't know when the National...

    Tuners In Michigan?

    I've bought "off the shelf" tunes from Lidio for an '03 Marauder, an '04 Marauder and my '05 GT (I'm down in New Orleans). Lidio is VERY busy as well but has always returned my calls and emails. I've received time stamped emails from Lidio that were sent at 6am, 11pm and at various times on...

    Shaker 500...

    I had the MACH 1 with the Mach 460 sound. Pulled it for complete aftermarket setup. The Shaker 500 sounds pretty good for stock. The highs are clear, for stock. Although it has "subs" in the doors, they are closer to mids than subs. A good amp and sub in the trunk would really fill out...

    SCT Xcal 2 tune

    My tuner told me not to worry about it. But like stated above, it takes so little time that you may as well pull them. It will probably take longer just to find them the first time.

    Flowmaster axel back

    I hear what you guys are saying. At one time (20 years ago) I had a '79 Trans Am with a Olds 455cid long tubes, and the old glasspacks, minus the glass. I loved it!

    Flowmaster axel back

    Guess I'm not alone. To contrast, I had an '04 MACH 1 I put straigt through magnaflows on. It was too quite! I gotta say that the stock exhaust is pretty good if all you want is a little tone.

    Flowmaster axel back

    I installed in my garage on the ground - 30 -45 minutes. Drove with then for a week, took them of. I thought they sounded (in the cabin) like coffee cans on a Honda. They do sound good from the outside though. Also, they drone almost as bad as my '98 GT did with Flows all those years back...

    2005 gt break in procedures

    I had fun driving for the first 1000 miles then had the oil changed. Owner's manual only states, as posted in prior threads, to vary speed until 1k.

    05 GT Manual, lossing syncros 2sd-3rd ???

    If you are talking about the auto trans - good and bad. Lidio at Alternative prefers autos and bought an '05 to experiment with. He has several articles/updates on his progress but here is the trans link: http://www.alternativeauto.com/misc/r-and-d-gt.html

    05 GT Manual, lossing syncros 2sd-3rd ???

    The TREMEC people had no problem telling me about the original 3650 problem that lead to the long awaited TSB. At least the TSB for the '05 did not take a year to be released like it did for the older 3650s. And I thought that the 3650 problem would have been resolved by now. No problems...
