    Exhaust ???

    H-pipes & Xs will always sound different, even given the same brand pipe. For the most part you'll get better sound out of an H-pipe but somewhat better performance out of an X. I like the way the X-pipe sounds on my car. But even I must admit that w/ my Long Tubes my car is extremely raspy...

    Should I Buy CC Plates After Spring Installation?

    How much did you drop you car? You should be fine w/out plates if you dropped it < 1.5 inches. If you dropped > 2 inches you'll most def need plates. Even @ 1.5 inches it couldn't hut to have the caster/camber plates.

    Trade a Mach for an '02 Roush 360R?

    Thanks man. Your Roush's tight too. & :lol: about Oxford White being the quickest Mach. I know that I do run the best times in my town at the strip, at least as far as Machs are concerned. & in June I finished 3rd in the Mustang Shootout. I'll be competing again July 16th.

    Trade a Mach for an '02 Roush 360R?

    Point accepted. Though I'm hard-pressed to believe that any stock 360R makes 360RWHP, I can understand if they're underrated since both the Cobra & the Mach also fall in the same category.

    Trade a Mach for an '02 Roush 360R?

    That's what i'm saying. Finally somebody else who KNOWS stock 360Rs don't put down 360RWHP. This arguement ain't even got anything to do w/ what this thread was started for but if we're gonna be on this topic I'll run w/ it. The Mach is the one car that barely runs under it's RATED HP on a...

    Trade a Mach for an '02 Roush 360R?

    That sounds more like it. Blk_Roush if you saw such a thing, they were modded Roushes. I ain't trying to argue either & also agree they are both great cars. But the 360R was designed as 360 flywheel HP, that's why the authenticity plate near the shifter says 360HP, 375TQ. Now the 380R makes...

    Trade a Mach for an '02 Roush 360R?

    The Roush 360R is not putting 360HP to the rear wheels. That's flywheel HP, just like the Mach's 310 flywheel HP. & also, if you take a basic 281 ci 2V & set it next to a 281 ci 4V & do the same mods to each engine, the 4V will be the one w/ more HP and more torque, & better breathing...

    Trade a Mach for an '02 Roush 360R?

    I checked it out but talked myself out of it mostly because of the fact that I picked up 30HP w/ my exhuast mods, giving me like 340 flywheel. Not to mention that I probably added another 20HP by means of various other mods. I'd dare say my car has 360HP. But I did a stock comparison. 310HP...

    Trade a Mach for an '02 Roush 360R?

    I'll be on my way over there in a matter of minutes. But 1st I gotta get a couple quarts of 0W-20 Penzoil for Milani. :lol:

    Trade a Mach for an '02 Roush 360R?

    Truthfully I go through cars 1 month slower than you and I am about to go see what kind of deal the dealer can get me as soon as my wife will hurry up. :rlaugh:

    Trade a Mach for an '02 Roush 360R?

    Am I a fool for even contemplating doing this? I'm just looking for opinions. I haven't decided to do this yet. Now I know that the Roush 360R has 360HP & 375TQ, supercharged 2V. The Mach I have is an '04 w/ 310HP & 335TQ stock, N/A 4V. I haven't had it on the dyno since the mods. Should I...

    DOnt Buy SPEC

    The SPEC Stage 2 I had in my 2K GT only had minimal chatter/vibration. My only grunt was that the Throw-Out Bearing began to squeal after being in my car a total of 3 weeks. It actually squealed louder than the stocker that was in for almost 4 full years at the time, but man would that things...

    Anyone use manual as daily driver?

    Out of the 4 cars I've had, 3 in my name, 3 were manual. I've commuted in Austin, TX for 2 years back & forth to where I live in a manual. That car was slow, so I hated having a manual. I live in the DFW Metroplex for 2 years w/ a Manual 2K GT for 1.5 years of that time & it didn't bother me...

    Off road H voids warranty???

    That is the sole reason I will soon purchase a Catted X-pipe to be inserted only when my car gets serviced or to pass inspection.

    Car died on the freeway going home.....

    This is something that maybe in another direction. I used to have a really banging system in my old GT. 2 500Watt 12s bridged off a 750Watt Amp. The wiring from my battery was 4 guage & had a 60 Amp fuse. The amp had 3 30 Amp fuses. I had something else in the car, very important, that many...

    2005 GT vs 2004 Mach 1

    That's what I'm talking about. Pick up a Mach, while it's hot. :nice: While I must admit that certain things about the '05 body style intrigue me, it won't be a Mach. Ford went through many a body style before bringing it back. If they do the same, you won't see a Mach again until around...
