    Which tires to get?

    drag radials may hook better..but if you've got a mainly street car I suggest otherwise. A good sticky set of street tires (nitto 555's, bfg kdw's,etc.) will likely do you just fine and will last alot longer than dr's. I'm not saying don't buy dr's....if you're gonna put 'em on and go race then...

    Are The Older 4.6Ls Really That Bad?

    That's what I was thinking too. As far as 96-98's go, I think they're great looking cars, though they don't have a ton of power stock; but they are reliable daily drivers and can still be modded like any other mustang (though you'll have to put more time and money to make it run with later...

    Choices Choices

    kdw's are great. I have nitto nt555's 245/45/17 up front 275/40/17 in rear on stock bullitt 8" wheels and they fit fine and are also great tires imo.

    the ultimate decision

    I agree, and to add to that this is a 99 cobra motor, not an 01. 99 4v's are notorious for not making advertised power. Ford had to do a recall on them because of this.

    Going for 14's

    my friend had a '98 gt 5-speed w/ frpp shorty headers, bassani o/r x, flowmaster 40 series 2-chambers, a frpp 70mm throttle body and a k&n w/ stock gearing and it was enough for him to run alot of higher powered cars!! He ran a similar npi gt with similar mods although it was an automatic w/ a...

    redlining a pi 2v gt :(

    yeah i kinda forgot to watch the tach until i looked down and saw that i was at 6500!!!:rlaugh: i know the rotating assembly can handle some revs, but what is it about the valvetrain that can't, is it the valvesprings that are the weak link?.....that's what i've heard.:shrug: my buddy's got a...

    redlining a pi 2v gt :(

    word. I won't don't worry!!!!:D I think that if i remember correctly the factory redline is set at 5800 rpm which is actually 200 rpm shy of the reall 6k redline...I know I read that in a mmff or 5.0 magazine somewhere!!! I would never intentionally rev it that high it's just that I haven't spun...

    redlining a pi 2v gt :(

    right on man... I didn't know that the factory rev limiter was that low (5800) it seems like it's been able to go to 6k since before I had the tuner. I'm glad to here it's not a life or death issue though!:nice:

    redlining a pi 2v gt :(

    Hey stangalangers, I was doing a burnout the other day ( which I never do, except that my buddy wanted to see one....stupid me!!:nonono: ) and I revved it to 4 grand and dumped the clutch: well I have 3.73's so I quickly revved to 6500 rpm in first before I shifted into 2nd. I am not sure...

    what color for these rims?

    white 18x9 saleen replicas would look great imo.

    Mach or Supercharger?

    I think that the mach 1 is a real nice mustang, and the fact that it was a limited production model adds to that, although the gt you have in your avatar is very clean looking and if you have it paid off then why not go for it and build that bad boy up? I think you would spend less money that...

    wax on wax off!!

    I just went out and bought some meguiar's liquid tech-wax yesterday and wow! I have to say it's some good stuff! It took about half the time to apply and buff as the other waxes i've used and the car looks killer now! Anybody else try it? What do y'all use for wax?

    what is up with 5.0 guys?

    I figured that the s197 guys would be the ones talkin' smack since they've got the new stangs!

    what is up with 5.0 guys?

    Great topic! I haven't had any specific experience w/ 5.0 drivers being snobbish but I know that type of person that everyone's describing. Alot of Vette owners are that way, stuck up and full of themselves even towards other Ls1 guys! I just like mustangs in general and hey it's all about...

    Mustangs Rule!

    I want to thank everyone for their comments, whether we agreed or not, it's always nice to get stuff stirrin' and hear people's opinions. One thing I think everyone can agree on: 2v parts need to become more abundant and less expensive!!
