    time for new cobra r

    Read the article, don't just look at the pictures. They say at the end of the artilce in the link that it was a joke.

    Driving courses vs. autocross

    I know that the SCCA events up here are very crowded so you might get fewer runs with less opportunity to get an instructor. See if there are any smaller car clubs (PCA, BMW CCA, Subaru clubs) that allow other car makes, they might give you a better chance at more track time and instructors.

    Tires/Speakers

    The Brigdestone RE11 is a great tire if you are willing to give up a little on tire life for more grip. A couple guys use them at the autocross events I go to and they like them a lot. Not cheap though.

    Driving courses vs. autocross

    I know that Porsche Club of America autocross event provide free instructors, see if there are any of their events near by. It might be different in other regions, but the whole day is only $30 for about eight runs in the CT region. Just keep going to events and you will get better, and watch...

    Lighter Doors?

    I would guess by looking at your pictures that you would remove about 2 square feet of sheet metal, which is probably being generous. I looked up how much 2 square feet of 18 gauge sheet metal (also a conservative guess) weighs, it is only 4 pounds. I like the idea of getting rid of as much...

    EBC Brakes?

    Don't spend the money on rotors, just get a couple sets from newtakeoff.com or something like that. The slotted/dimpled/drilled rotors aren't really worth it, I have slotted rotors and probably will go back to stock next time. Not sure how fast you will be going but the EBC yellows are ok for...

    Tires/Speakers

    What are you looking to spend on tires, how long do you want them to last, and are you interested in drag radials or just street use? Most people seem to be happy with the Nitto NT05 which isn't very expensive. I have Dunlop Direzza Z1 Star Specs, but the biggest tire they have is a 275/35/18...

    Lighter Doors?

    I think the stock doors weight 81 pounds without speakers, about 20 of that is the impact protection. Carbon fiber door skins are about $2k and save you 10 pounds per door. So you are probably better off looking somewhere else to save weight. Check out this thread if you want How Much Does...

    Roush

    A coupon code for Roush's website? I don't think there is one, most vendors get annoyed when people post their coupon codes on forums. What parts are you looking for? I have shopped around quite a bit, I might be able to steer you in the right direction.

    Synthetic vrs reg gear oil on a new rebuild?

    No problem, good luck with the install. I would love to do a differential upgrade and gear change, but can't really spend the money right now. Let us know how everything goes.

    Synthetic vrs reg gear oil on a new rebuild?

    Try 75W-140 with Additive friction modifier XL-3. From the research I have seen, some people recommend synthetic, some say to go with conventional. See if your owner's manual recommends anything.

    Aeroform Mystery 8 GFX hood/nose kit???

    If you have heard of fitment issues, then you are going to pay a lot extra to have a body shop make it look good. Usually they will have to do a lot of prep work to get poorly fitting parts to look good. The problem I see with it is that not only does the hood have to fit the fenders...

    Upper and Lower Grille for 2006 GT

    You looking to keep the fog lights or no? If not, then I have the CDC black billet grill which looks good. Roush sells one too. For the lower grill I went with Silver Horse Racing's grill inserts to protect my intercooler.

    What mod to do next? Bang of for buck!

    For tire choices, most summer performance tires have a relatively stiff sidewall for handling, but the tire I had before my Dunlops, the Nitto INVO is known for having a relatively soft sidewall for a little better ride quality. The wider you go with wheels, the worse the ride gets because the...

    What mod to do next? Bang of for buck!

    There aren't many suspension kits that focus on making the ride smoother, they are designed for performance. The GT500 suspension is designed for a lot more weight in the front end from the Shelby's iron block and supercharger, so probably wouldn't be the best option for a GT. Lowering the car...

    Granatelli TB

    That looks much better. Any noticeable performance difference with the new TB?

    Granatelli TB

    Casey4s, I'm not trying to be a smart-ass but wouldn't your coupling method create the same air restriction that you are trying to eliminate with the bigger TB? Could you use a GT500 CAI instead? There also seems to be a gap in the top right of your coupling that will cause unmetered air to...

    New Steeda Mustang Cop Cars

    Maybe the Challenger was a drug arrest seizure? With all the budget issues that governments (state and municipal, federal doesn't seem to care) are having, I think a Challenger SRT-8 would be tough to get town approval on. A friend of mine is a Vermont State Trooper and he said New Hampshire...

    No Mustang Performance Package for Canada

    There probably wouldn't be too much of a cost difference between a '10 GT and an '11 V6 with the performance pack, the performance should be similar. Not trying to talk you out of what you want to buy, but maybe something to consider. I think you should be able to find a decent deal on a 2010...

    My mechanic said: just deal with it (brakes)

    I have slotted rotors and I don't think it makes that much of a difference. If your rotors are shot, get some takeoff rotors for like $40; New Take-Off - Brakes . Upgrade to some Hawk HPS pads or something similar and you should be fine for street driving. If you want you can buy some brake...
