    those with tint come in!!!!!

    ok, so the general consensus seems to be covering the matrix with a black vinyl strip. also, legal tint in austin is 35% I think, so i may have to pull a few strings to get 20% all around. anyone ever had their windshield tinted?? buddy of mine at work had his done at ~40% and he said it...

    those with tint come in!!!!!

    so after 7 texas summers, ive come to the conclusion that its finally time for some tint. question is, how does tint look with the rear matrix?? my sis had a 98 GT thaqt looked horrible b/c the tint wouldnt stick over the matrix, and the "professionals" wouldnt warranty it b/c they said it may...

    I think my car might be a "FREAK"...

    sure, thats good for a few hp, but not enough to make a noticeable difference. proof is good to prove any point of course, but i would trust many dyno graphs on the net 'claiming' to be stock and putting down gobs of power.

    I think my car might be a "FREAK"...

    sorry, but theres no such thing as a factory freak. cars are mass produced on an assenbly line with the same tolerances. unless someone accidently dropped some cobra heads on your GT, its going to run like every other GT out there. ive seen some guys run stock cars at 13.8xx, but there are...

    rear differential is shot

    sounds like the clutches are worn in your stock diff. not terribley bad, you could drive on it for a lil while if you had to, but no performance driving for you. i could stand that my diff wasnt performing as it should when mine went at ~52k, so i replaced everything. 31 spline axles, torsen...

    Only a few more months gentlemen!

    heres something compliment your list. a little birdie told me theres a bill in congress that bump the minimum EPA estimated MPG. more specifically, it would mandate every car manufacted in the US to be EPA rated at least 35 MPG. :eek: doubtful it will pass, but i foresee lots of problems...

    Welcome to the 500 HP club

    Are dumps illegal in anyway?

    Time for new brakes... What are your favorite?!

    i think +1.1" in radius? thats a substantial amount, even on a street car. the reasons after market brakes perform better are thus: 1) larger rotors add more radius, thus make braking easier/enhancing the feeling of braking. 2) many times (not always, as in the case of the Cobra/Mach...
