    4.6L vs LT1/LS1

    My cousin has a '97 lt1 TA and has had many problems w/it. He bought it new and also had extended warrenty. When he hit about 30k miles on it he started having the problems, I don't remember what they were but he had to take it in for service 5 different times. The only thing you have to...

    having conflictive interest....

    I've never driven in an f-body car or test driven one but I always thought they didn't have much low end and had LOTS up top power. All the ones I've raced even the LS1s, I have taken them on the take off. The 2 LS1s I lost to, I had them on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, gears but when I hit 4th they just...

    having conflictive interest....

    I don't get it, if you have a '95 w/lt1 in it and hers is an '01 GT why does she like the "grrrrr" in it, hers should be just as fast if yours isn't too modded. I have an '03 GT and have never lost to an lt1 before, I've raced 5 so far at the track, LS1s I have lost twice but not by much, 1/2 a...

    White smoke at startup

    My 5.0 Cougar did the same thing w/the sweet smell so I knew it was coolant also. My lower intake gasket was busted and it happend at around 150k miles. I had to buy a kit that contained a bunch of gaskets for $95 and it worked perfect.

    Which one is better on 05??

    At first glance the Cobra R rims do look out of place, but after the lowering, they just look mean. Add some wider tires to the back and you have a KILLER look :nice:

    Right-Rear Rattle - Help me identify what is rattling!!!

    I had the same prob w/mine! There was a noise that I could not figure out and it was only when my rpms went past 2K. Turns out there was a piece of metal in my spare tire compartment and that would rattle at higher rpms. It might not be your problem but the rattling also drove me NUTS :bang...

    My Wife's GT is Sick, Help!

    Sounds like it might be the alternator. The alternator holds your charge, since you said you took a trip that might have taken out the last life out of the alternator. Take it off and take it to Autozone, they will test it for free. I went through 3 alternators in my old car but I had 2 amps...

    Best Brand of Oil?

    I have used Pennzoil on my '90 5.0 Cougar ever since I got it. The car has over 255,000 miles on it. THAT should speak for itself! Just change oil and filter every 3K miles.

    Help with bass

    I have owned four bazooka bass tubes and they have all sounded awsome. You need to balance you Hz going into ea. tube, they can't handle that many Hz, but they can really handle some bass if you have the right amp. I had a Pioneer amp that was only 75x2 RMS; 150x1 RMS. You can connect them in...

    2003 MACH 1

    At my local track, an auto mach1 w/the borla, cai, and pullies was running 13.4-13.6 all night. You would win the race by getting an awesome start, Ws6 take longer on take off.

    air filter heat shields?

    I had a CAI to the fenderwell but it did not do anything. I took it off and left the tube that goes from the MAF to the TB, then I put back my K&N drop in but I did not put the filter housing back on. Instead, I used the original metal bracket and put some foam used for speakers around the...

    00 GT vs. LS1?

    angrmgt, you are right they are fast cars, however, when I was looking to buy a car I almost bought an 02 SS for $25 grand w/23k miles. I found my current 03GT for $19 grand w/4k mi. and it was fully loaded. At my local track, the SS cars run 13.4-13.6, my best has been 14.1. To me it does...

    00 GT vs. LS1?

    I ran against a 2001 LS1 Camaro, he had an exhaust system don't know which one cuz i'm not familiar w/GM, and right before the race he got off his car opened his hood and did some crap to it. I told my cousin to get off my car and kick my tires so we could look like we were pros :rlaugh: My car...
