    Good Time To Buy 2013?

    Ditto what James said. No huge differences from 11-12 to 13s, and you can find a good deal, much cheaper, which won't bite you as much on resale.

    Can't Make Up My Mind What I Want To Do

    How-email or phone? I emailed Saturday, got a reply Monday that said he was slammed this week and would be a few days getting back to me. I told him I wasn't in a rush, so I'm not surprised to not hear back yet. FWIW, all the suspension manufacturers I contacted are on their way to Columbus for...

    Drivetrain Buying New Gt - Living Long-term With 3.73s?

    So the question is do you want to agonize over having the less than optimal gear for 150k miles, or if you want to grin ear to ear every time you drive it with the 3.73s? I drive much as you do. Put 3.73s in my 95, and in my 13, and don't regret it at all, especially with a six speed. go for...

    Some Advice For A Newbie

    First, welcome!!! Post up pics of the car when you get time! Wheels and tires not only enhance appearance, but they can make a great improvement in handling performance too. This is a great way to make your V6 a little quicker, and more fun to drive. That said, my advice would be to look at...

    Can't Make Up My Mind What I Want To Do

    While I personally have no experience with Kenny Brown, and know that they developed a good reputation with older Mustang chassis, they've had some issues with their S197 stuff. Not slamming them at all,just saying to do your homework carefully. I've had personal experience with Maximum...

    Can't Make Up My Mind What I Want To Do

    Clarification: My 13 is a GT500, not a GT, so it's not really fair to compare. Handling-wise: It's close. I'm running stock suspension (right now, but it includes the SVT Performance Pack, with the Bilsteins and electronically adjustable damping) on my 13. My 95 was not stock suspension...

    Can't Make Up My Mind What I Want To Do

    Suspected as much... I lost my chance to get my first car back. Had to settle for buying my 13 instead. Believe it or not, I'd give up my 13 to get my first car (68 GT Fastback) back... and that's almost 30 years after I gave it up. That said, I am still partial to the SN95s; My 95...

    Can't Make Up My Mind What I Want To Do

    I'm partial to SN95s, so my opinion is biased. That said, what is the sentimental value of your Fox?

    How Many Of You Start In Second Gear?

    I would expect that you're having to feather the clutch to do a second gear start, which is going to put more wear on the clutch... how much I have no idea. Does your car have the clutch assist spring like the bosses and GT500s do? I took mine out, and it made the clutch much smoother...

    (shhh, we have to encourage people to buy other colors to maintain our exclusivity.) :D I didn't say it was the most beautiful color, or the fastest. :stig: GB FTW!

    Welcome! Beautiful car! I don't think I've ever seen that color in sunlight (a rare commodity here); I like how it pops, at least in the pictures.

    Need Advice/help!

    3.73s; 4.10s only if you're more interested in 1/4 mile than highway/top end. Suspension mods are a must. No need for more power until you can get what you have to the ground. Springs are a start, but LCAs, UCA, adjustable panhard bar, improved mounts for all of the above; all are important to...

    This Looks Like It'd Be A Fun Ride.

    This. Stay far away from the edge, and you won't have to worry about drifting. I learned to do on gravel roads as a kid, and perfected it on snow-covered roads for six months a year in AK. You don't think it's a sport? Try it in an Excursion. :D Or, did I stumble into the "it's not like me so...

    Well,...that Wasn't Fun.

    You should! We're going to need a new progress thread to follow, now that Mike is done with his car.:jester:

    Keep My Car Or Order A '14?

    Yeah, kinda like "black fox body". Why are you wasting bandwidth with a sig pic?

    Keep My Car Or Order A '14?

    Gonna be awesome! And please, post up some pics of YOUR car when you get it. I realize it looks "the same", but it's not. Stinks that you got stuck behind the plant shutdown, but the withdrawals fade from memory pretty quickly once you get the car. It'll be worth the wait to get the car built...

    Used Gears

    Dealership can adjust ratio without a tuner if the ratio was an option on the car. Don't buy a tuner until you've checked with Ford service dept first. They should only charge an hour Labor if they can do it with their computer. If they can't do it, buy the tuner, but no need to take it to a...

    Well,...that Wasn't Fun.

    I'm not a good judge of blower whine... I can't hear it. Can't hear smoke alarms either. High frequency hearing is totally shot. The 13s are getting complaints because the blower can't be heard with the stock air tube. Supposedly it's quieter than previous GT500s. I understand it's much quieter...

    Are you kidding? This thread is my third stop while surfing during my morning constitutional. I come here regularly. :eek:

    Mystery Bullitt Theory?

    Pretty easy retrofit. Aftermarket sold them for a while, possibly even before Ford had it as an OEM option.
