    Switch to 3.73s. Fairly easy on the budget. Kick in the pants.

    2011 Gt 6mt 3.31 Rear Acceleration

    I understand the situation just fine. But he doesn't have sticky tires. He has the regular treads, non track pack non Brembo rubber with 3.31 gears. I admit I have not driven a manual coyote, so I'm not speaking from experience here. I'm speaking by comparison, and I realize the danger in...

    2011 Gt 6mt 3.31 Rear Acceleration

    This part doesn't sound normal. Sounds like the nannies are still on, but that doesn't make sense given from a dead start you can roast the tires. Even in my auto with 3.15 gears in 1st at 5mph I would roast 'em. Problem is, you bought a used car, and the dealer from which you obtained it...

    That doesn't sound normal at all.

    Can you get a set of golf clubs in the trunk?

    Convertible, isn't it computer limited? Maybe it is the top down--drag limitation.

    2011 Gt 6mt 3.31 Rear Acceleration

    I didn't have a 6 speed manual. I would expect lag in an auto. I resolved it with a street tune in large part. But with a 6 speed manual, it is about the gear selection. Can you give us a detailed example? For example: I'll be rolling at 10 mph in 1st gear. RPM roughly 3000. Floor...

    2011 Gt 6mt 3.31 Rear Acceleration

    Have you held the traction control button with break depressed for 10 seconds? The computer turns off everything—traction control and stability control—when you hold it at a stop for 5 seconds, but what we count as 5 seconds is sometimes too fast, so count to 10 or until the dash indicates that...

    Just Bought A 2011 Gt Cs What Mods Should I Do??

    I don't know if it is worth it to get the aftermarket cold air intake. Not sure if it was standard equipment in 2013 or if it was earlier, but you might already have a cold air system. Besides, the 3.73s will give you 12 second range ETs, and the car will remain reliable. Not a lot of reason to...

    Just Bought A 2011 Gt Cs What Mods Should I Do??

    That's pretty awesome that you are 17 and you own it outright, and it is only 3 years old. IMHO 3.73s, tune, done. Congratulations!

    2015 Gt500 Previewed Image

    Compare this GT500 rendering to the one posted earlier: #27. I like the continuity of this person's designs.

    2014 Gt 5.0 Track Pack.......anybody Have One Yet??

    AFIK, 3.73s were a separate option in 2011, but in 2014 online they are not. If one wants 3.73s from the factory in a GT, one must get the Track Pack if doing Build and Price on the Ford website. Perhaps your local dealer has the option to install or order the 3.73s for you under the factory...

    Tune

    With the auto in the 2013, I obtained a street tune from BAMA. The issues you mention were resolved as a result. There will always be some lag with the auto needing to downshift, but with the tune it is quite minimal. The tune also firms up the shifts, so you will chirp in 3rd.

    Saleen Need some help on value for my Saleen

    I sold my 99' Saleen S281-sc in 2008 with 140k miles on it for $14.5k. Unfortunately, it took me 2 months to find the right buyer. I was getting low-balled at $10k and had to stick it out. NADA Guides doesn't give a value based on mileage, so the only possible way you could get a good estimate...

    My First Mustang! Which One......

    It sounds like your speed lust is met by your bike, so go with the V6. I liked both of my SN-95s, but the thing that always kept me from the 03-04 Cobra was the wheel hop and IRS.

    Anyone Use Ford Racing Short Throw Shifter And 2post Bracket

    Steeda Tri-Ax FTW: http://www.americanmuscle.com/steeda-triax-shifter-mt82.html?source=igodigital I have heard the stock shifter isn't bad provided the bushing is replaced. At a minimum replace the bushing. If you still aren't happy, then replace the shifter too. Steeda bushing...

    aftermarket auto trans (aesthetic)

    Agreed. Why not include the paddle shifter option? My friend's older Challenger has them. My sister's older Kia Optima Turbo does too. Odd choice for Ford. I still want a manual.
