    Just can't Let go. "The Fox"

    I hear ya man! Twice now I've sold a 5.0 and bought something else for a daily driver. 2 years ago I bought my 88 GT and I'm keepin' it. I also have my 85 5.0 LX Notch that I've owned now for about 11 years. I just can't get away from them. I'll always want one. Yeah they handle like crap, can...

    The New Camaro

    You musta coughed on me because I caught the same disease AAAAAHHHHH! A week ago I rode in a new Camaro SS automatic. My buddy rented the car from the airport after he flew in. He was on the fence about buying a New Mustang GT or a New Camaro SS. He was disappointed with the new Camaro. We...

    yes another 5 lug conv question

    The anti-moan brackets shouldn't have anything to do with this. Check with Richard from North Race Cars. I do not run the anti moan brackets, I have an 88 GT and did the rear SN95 disc brake conversion. I had the dragging rear pads too and saw a little smoke once. You need to go in and relieve...

    2010 Mustangs Whatta u think?

    Overall I like it. If they would just change 2 areas on the exterior of the car I would really like it. FRONT FASCIA - From the headlights up I like it, bu tthe bottom of the front fascia on the corners has these "jowels" if you wanna call 'em that LOL! If they did a reall nice integrated...

    No more speed density!!!

    10 MINUTES???? Are you saying you installed a complete MAF conversion in 10 minutes? Am I missing something here? Just getting the kick panel off, all the crap around it off, the EEC out and the wire lock out takes about 10 minutes. Did you only wire in the 4 wires from the MAF unit or did you...

    No more speed density!!!

    Well that's the idea of doing the MAF conversion - I can't leave stuff stock. I got a spare set of aluminum GT40X heads I was gonna sell but I think I'm going to have a little work done to them, convert 'em to stud mount and bolt 'em up to a fresh 306 shortblock and stuff it in this car. I'll...

    No more speed density!!!

    Just a few new pics of the car and the completed conversion. Car runs REAL good, no issues at all other than I can't keep my foot out of it!!! Love the HoseTechniques couplers and T-bolt clamps. Also took the car out for some at speed pics. Man with new shiny parts under the hood it...

    No more speed density!!!

    Ya know I didn't mess with the intake opening because I was doing the conversion this weekend and I was sick as a dog. After pulling up part of my carpet and splicing wires, soldering, modifying the air intake tube and not finding ANYBODY that sells silicone molded couplers I had to stop...

    No more speed density!!!

    Well, this weekend my buddy John and I completed the mass air conversion on my 88 GT. I know the 88 isn't a 4-eye but the conversion was thoroughly documented with many photos and written documentation for those wanting to do the conversion. This is the same car I bought almost 100% stock that I...

    Replaced the 17x8s with 17x9 Bullitts out back on the 88 GT

    I run the Eibach Sportline springs which give me a level 1.7" drop, Eibach front and rear sway bars, and the adjustable KYB AGX Struts and shocks. I also installed a set of uppers and lowers.

    Replaced the 17x8s with 17x9 Bullitts out back on the 88 GT

    Oh yeah Dacula - I drive from Sugar Hill to Winder and back everyday with the GT. I drive 20 and take 124 to get to route 8. I think I pass near by the Dacula area everyday. Can't miss the GT - should be able to hear it about a mile out LOL! J

    Replaced the 17x8s with 17x9 Bullitts out back on the 88 GT

    Thanks guys. Yeah i just looked for those 17x9 black bullitts for you and you are right nobody has the black spoke 17x9 with the 5.95" backspacing...hhhmmm. Try calling Mustangs Unlimited or American muscle and see if they can get 2 17x9 5.65 BS painted custom???? Yeah I WAS selling, had 3...

    Replaced the 17x8s with 17x9 Bullitts out back on the 88 GT

    I just got a set of 17x9 anthracite bullitts with 275/40-17s mounted up out back on my GT. They are such a close match to the factory 17x8s I had up front but I can tell the difference. So today I ordered a set of 17x8 replicas for the front to get a perfect match both with the polished lip and...

    New Fast and Furious

    Isn't that funny how we Ford-guys know more about a GM car in the movie than GM-guys?!! LOL! I deal with that here at work - I can identify the difference right away between 67,68,69 Camaros. 3 guys I work with are diehard chevy guys and they constantly ask me - "what year is this diecast model...

    I installed the new UPR Rock Crusher Shifter in the 88 GT

    Here's the Mr. Gasket boot that I affixed to the bottom of the black plastic console bezel. It achieves the look I'm going for and looks clean and almost factory looking. Yeah when you bring it back into 2nd or 4th it seems like it's back quite a bit. But my elbow is as low as the shift knob so...

    I installed the new UPR Rock Crusher Shifter in the 88 GT

    This arrived at work today so I pulled the Stang into the warehouse and bolted it in on my lunch break real quick. This shifter looks really killer IMO, has a nice custom hot rod Shelby Stang feel to it. It took rowing a couple of shifts to get used to the different lever and knob position but...

    It's Back on the Ground....Really.... with CCW's

    Love the wheels but don't they offer sizes and/or backspacing to allow the wheels to fit inside the lip versus sticking out in the back? You must get a pretty bad rub out back?

    Review: Challenger R/T vs Camaro vs Mustang GT (Face off Link)

    Ya know, I know most of the time a lot of stress is placed on the 1/4 mile times and horsepower numbers. Scroll down a couple more rows and check out the lateral acceleration and MT figure eight numbers...HHhhhhhmmmmmm! Wait a minute...The Mustang with it's solid axle can possibly handle more...

    Here's the official Performance Numbers od the Camaro from Motor Trend

    I really don' tthink the guys at MT know how to drag race cars period. Since the 80's I've seen their 1/4 mile #s and they were always slower or not on with what they are really able to do. Evan Smith is a a "hot shoe"! He managed a 12.2 out of a bone stock 2007 GT500 down the 1/4 mile. At the...
