    mach 1 supspension

    If the Sport Springs made a difference @ all I would guess about a .1 or .2 second loss maximum. I can't wait to hit the track Friday to see my new times.

    mach 1 supspension

    Agreed. Nice color. I'm leaving my suspension alone for the time being, for purposes of weight transfer. But believe you me, as soon as I put my DRs on there next year I'll be vamping the suspension. :rlaugh: This thing already can't hold up to the wicked gearing. :rlaugh: :rlaugh:

    mach 1 supspension

    I don't see how the 4X4 look is gone but if so, good for you. I had to put 2" lowering Eibach Sportline Springs on my old GT to get rid of the look. Pics in my sig's link.

    04 GT Clutch goin already?!

    SPEC is hit & miss. My 2000GT I used to have started chirping the TOB @ about 4000 miles. I let it chirp for another 30-something thousand miles before I ever decided to change the clutch. I put in a SPEC stage II, which began chirping it's TOB after 1000 miles even louder than the stock...

    mach 1 supspension

    The Mach suspension is only OK. If I were you I'd look elsewhere since the Mach susp is only 1/2 inch lower than the GT so it'll still look 4X4, though handling will be much improved. & before anyone flames yes I do know about the GT suspension as my last ride was a 2000GT. See sig. :cheers:

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

    I've got a friend w/ a digital camcorder. I'll have her shoot a vid this coming Friday, though I gotta warn you: This car is crazy now, like a wild horse. It needs suspension & tires bad. I'm tired of having to work so hard just to keep her on the straight & narrow. Can't wait for my X10.5 DRs.

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

    The only thing I can really say is that the car is wicked now. I can go sideways in 3rd @ about 70 if I want to. But who wants to do that? :rlaugh:

    My dilema...05 or 04 Mach 1

    This has been debated time & again. Get the Mach. You'll pat yourself on the back in 20-30 years when it's a classic. :cheers:

    ? for 05 mMach 1

    I would most certainly tend to agree. It is most def possible that SVT will keep the Cobra name for their top-of-the-line Mustang. But then again you never know.

    ? for 05 mMach 1

    True but it's quite likely that the name Cobra will be given to the new Replica Cobra based off the old Shelby 427 & Terminator will be the new name for what we now know as the Cobra Mustang.

    Do you mean Boss Shinoda, cuz Ford ain't gonna make the Boss?

    ? for 05 mMach 1

    No one knows for sure but from an economical standpoint it would not make sense for Ford to release a Mach for 2005. The only reason Ford built the Spring Feature Edition GT (2000), Bullitt GT (2001), & the Mach (2003 & 2004) was to re-introduce the Stang to the market since people had become a...

    Question for the Masses... What's the Difference Between a SuperCharger and a Turbo?

    This's pretty much already been said but a turbo uses the exhaust gases pressure coming directly off the headers to spin (spool) the turbine, thus increasing airflow in the intake chamber and subsequently increasing power. A supercharger, being driven by the drive belt generally produces more...

    1st time @ track 02 gt vs. 04 Mach

    Stock I never got mine below 13.9, but I only tried 3 passes a week after I got the car. The next day I had the exhaust put on & when I brought it back out I hit 13.5@105. My 60 foot's are pathetic though. I've never bested 2.2 60'. Near plans include beefing the rear to run X10.5 Drag...
