    Has anyone done 140MPH with 4.10 gears?

    Right on, thanks for the info. The last time i looked at the tach i was pulling 4000RPM at about 125-135.

    Has anyone done 140MPH with 4.10 gears?

    How much of a diff would it make to move down to 3.73? Or is anything over 110 best with 3.55 or higher?

    Has anyone done 140MPH with 4.10 gears?

    Very rarely but that is what i would consider the highest speed i will likely want to attain and wondered how the gears would affect that if at all. Plus the wind on this car at 140MPH is brutal.

    Has anyone done 140MPH with 4.10 gears?

    Have any of you with 4.10 gears gone 140MPH? How was it if you did? Did the gears make a lot of noise or did you not notice anything? I am trying to decide between 3.73 and 4.10. Thank you.

    Any Predictions For GT500 price dropping?

    i have called several dealers statewide (MI) and they are telling me they do not see the price dropping next summer (staying at $5-$15 over sticker). They believe the year after we can get them for MSRP and maybe below. I tend to think they are right but at the same time a variety of things...

    Radar Detectors

    I think any Cobra is obsolete from day one IMHO. My wife has a Cobra and when i run them next to each other my Bel alerts long before the Cobra and the Cobra tends to have more false alarms.

    Radar Detectors

    I wanted a Passport because I have always owned Escort (Cincinnati Microwave) products and I just assumed that like the Escort was for years the Passport must be the best. I ended up with a Bel instead as a gift and when doing research to justify spending the money on the Passport I found that...

    Anyone using SLP loudmouths?

    He's right, i was going to buy LM pipes because i wanted it loud and i read to do what he has mentioned. I just pulled my mufflers and put on some pipes and tips, it sounds just like LMs (plus you can buy LM tips and make it look and sound the same) and the other guy is right who made the farm...

    Hood buffet at 120+MPH

    I don't do it that often (twice in 6 months...) but that does not make it suck any less when i do and the hood starts acting like an Alchy with no Liquor. Since you don't state your location that is kind of hard. Not to be a wet blanket myself but why would you buy a car that can reach such...

    Has anybody gotten pulled over for having fogs on?

    Those people are why i bought aircraft landing lights, they will wish they never touched their bright switch after they get a taste of 500,000 candlepower. Although someone will probably wreck and sue me, but i will still enjoy turning them on, plus they will have to catch me to get my plate.

    how do you compare to an 07 SS impala?

    I'd like to see my car do over 120mph with some gusto. I can redline her in fourth (about 125mph) and when i hit fifth she is a total dog. How long does it take you to get get from 120-145? Do you have hood buffeting issues after 120mph? Thank you.

    Has anybody gotten pulled over for having fogs on?

    Everytime i drive mine at night (i always turn the fogs on first as it is getting dark then reg lights as well) at least 1 out of 5 of the morons i pass bright me thinking they are high beams, it is quite annoying. I have passed many a bacon wagon with no effect while mine are on. i bought...

    How do you clean the rear window

    i have a Black 06 and hand wash her every weekend. I used a chamois for years but read that they are harder on the paint than some of the higher grade towels. i bought some Der Wunder drying towels and they work great. They are a little more work than using the chamois but they are worth it...

    Hood buffet at 120+MPH

    It starts at about 105-110 but does not become noticeable until you hit 120 and then it is moving a lot. I cannot tell where most movement is because the whole hood appears to be moving like i was under a heavy duty dryer. I wonder if a vented hood would solve the problem. I assumed it was...

    Hood buffet at 120+MPH

    Thanks, i forgot about the pins without cables. Would merely installing those pins stop this effect or will it require a change to the little studs the hood sets down on? Thank you.

    Hood buffet at 120+MPH

    I noticed when i travel at 120MPH and higher the hood starts buffeting and i don't dig it very much. I think hood pins look like crap and don't want the cables scratching my paint. Do you guys have any ideas how to solve this other than not going over 120MPH or using pins? Thank you.

    Performance curve

    I noticed the same thing at about that mileage and still feel it was because i was winding it out a lot more and just plain beating on it when i first bought it. I get 18.5 now and 16.5 then, but i also added a K&N filter and pulled the mufflers so that may account for my difference.:shrug:

    How much backpressure needed?

    I removed my mufflers and am happy with the sound albeit raspy but sometimes at low RPM it feels a little like my dirtbike after I pulled the baffle: less low RPM power but able to go from 2K-6K much faster. Does anyone know if a lack of backpressure with this setup could be a problem? Thank you.
