    2005 IN GRAN TURISMO!?

    I will most def buy both. For sure GT4. I just wish that they'd also add the 98 GT & Cobra, the 04 GT & Cobra, & the 04 Mach. Kind of like how for GT2 they had both the 98 GT & Cobra & 99 GT & Cobra, plus the Saleen Widebody. Point being that for a game w/ about 500 cars, like 5 were...

    05 GT vs MACH1 race RESULTS.....thats right...RESULTS!

    I like the fact that Ford finally is producing a Mustang GT that is truly fast. I'm not a player hater & I'm also not sweating because I'm the type of person that will run anything when I'm in the mood. I've lost & I've won some. No biggie. That's why I have a Mustang. I'm not jealous over...

    Challenge question about hp and torque from a honda guy

    HP is how fast you hit the wall. TQ is how far you move the wall.

    MAF screen?

    I've been running w/out my MAF screen for some 5 months or so now. The only difference I noticed was a slightly quicker SOTP reading, not really noticeable.

    Just installed Accufab intake/tb now having hanging idle issues

    When I did my TB/Upper Intake Plenum combo I didn't adjust or check my TPS voltage on my GT. My RPMs did hang but it was because my throttle cable was getting stuck on one of the vacuum lines running out of the back of the UI Plenum. I installed some washers underneath the bolts for the...

    Whats up with the BBK X-Pipe?

    Agreed. Mine doesn't rattle, nor is it horrid sounding. Some people just like rasp, pop, & burble; myself included. :rlaugh:

    WHAT DO U THINK ABOUT THE 05 MUSTANG???

    My opinion about this car is that it has some definite pros & some blaring cons. I like the new style, as it is retro & retro is in right now. I like the turning radius, even on the GT; it turns way better than mine. I like the shifter position, being linked to the tranny rather than...

    Whats up with the BBK X-Pipe?

    Mine doesn't sound like a metal rasping sound, but it does sound really raspy across the RPM band. Typical of an X-pipe.

    4.30s, 31-spline Diff & Axles, & Subframes are done

    Certainly MAC[h]Z, w/ a car that's possibly quicker than mine you can't say that this has never happened to you. Maybe I wrote the startup thread incorrectly. I should've said that 'I can go sideways @ 70 in 3rd if I don't want to & it's nothing to play w/.' My car is not powerful enough for...

    4.30s, 31-spline Diff & Axles, & Subframes are done

    It's not as easy as that, & it's more hit or miss & likely mostly dependant on surface conditions though dry. If I'm running through the gears fairly mildly & slam it into 3rd & hit the gas if things are just right it'll start to go sideways. Is this so hard to grasp? Are these type of things...

    4.30s, 31-spline Diff & Axles, & Subframes are done

    Finally, an understander. I'm not saying that my car's a freak cuz she's not. She's fast, but so are a whole lotta other cars. I can't just punch it. But it conditions are right, even on dry ground she'll start to go sideways @ 70 in 3rd w/ the 4.30s. Now mind you, that was on stock rubber...

    4.30s, 31-spline Diff & Axles, & Subframes are done

    I'm going to the track Friday & I'm gonna have my buddy vid some runs. Then maybe we'll vid some street stuff, though it'll be dark. It don't matter to me what people say about my car not being able to do these things. I have to drive her everyday; I know what she's capable of. I will agree...

    Rear End

    Agreed. But if it's free, why're you asking us if you should get it? I call :bs: If it's not & this is sure pretty far-fetched you should get it to @ least store it for another car. How could you possibly say no to a FREE 3.90 geared 9 inch rearend?

    Will bolt-on D/S Loop cause floorpan rust?

    Good idea. I may not use Gasket-maker but I will most certainly pick up a can of Rustoleum.

    Will bolt-on D/S Loop cause floorpan rust?

    I purchased a bolt-on D/S Loop & read the instructions & it made me wonder whether or not it would increase the chance of the floorpan rusting one day down the road. Does anyone have thoughts on this? Or can anyone describe actual installation a bit? Thanks in advance.

    mach 1 supspension

    How do you know whether or not they're aligned to spec w/out bringing it to an alignment shop? May as well put the plates since you SHOULD get it aligned anyway after a drop.

    mach 1 supspension

    You should take all speed bumps @ no greater than 5MPH anyway, especially if you're running Long Tube Headers.

    4.30s, 31-spline Diff & Axles, & Subframes are done

    My tires aren't bald. They're stock Gatorbacks w/ 7K miles driven fairly easily. It's only when I slam the gas pedal @ 70MPH in 3rd.

    Mach 1 MACH 1 310HP is wrong...

    I tell people 310 cuz the ones who ask really don't care anyway. I don't really care how much HP/TQ it's rated @ or even what it runs on a dyno. All I really care about is how fast it can run a 1/4 mile. There's people w/ cars in there garages that run over 1000HP & barely crack 14s. HP/TQ...
