    Salesman is ticking me off

    Stick around awhile Clevelands pretty good at stepping on toes accidentally himself. He's just not the type to candy coat anything he says and sometimes writes in a way that can have more than one interpretation.

    Alotment. Whats the deal?

    If a dealer is allotted 13 GT's and he accepts 13 GT pre orders. He just presold his entire years allotment of GT's. 05 orders did not "roll over" to 06. They each had to be re orderd as an 06. So yes 05's that didn't get rebuilt and then were re orderd as 06's count against the dealers 06...

    Should I be concerned?

    If I'm not mistaken there is a TSB about unusual battery discharge.

    AWD vs RWD easyness to drive question

    Usually tranny/clutch on the WRX, clutch on the STi. Like you said the STI has a completely different power train, bulkier 6 speed, shorter shaft, different differential, axle lengths/widths/splines. You can have a really well built machine and still have ignoramouses wreck the clutch in a...

    AWD vs RWD easyness to drive question

    My father inlaws lost count of the number of STI's he's repaired for damaged clutch/tranny. Or as he says it, "the stupid F%^&#r's buy em burn em up and bring em back a week later"

    CRAZY STORY 05 Stang

    Why can't one just use a large C-Clamp on the rear calipers? Do it all the time on my subby and toyotas.

    CRAZY STORY 05 Stang

    You can use the caliper bleed valve and a C-Clamp to compress the caliper piston. And for the love of god use a floor jack and stands before you mangle yourself under a fallen car.

    Anybody Like the Stock '05 Exhaust?

    To me it sounds pretty good. Has a nice note when you get on it and at cruise zero cabin drone. I've had a couple people comment that it sounded like aftermarket and ask what it was. Eventually I'll have the entire exhaust train changed out. For now the stock exhaust is plenty good enough.

    05 M3 vs 05 GT

    Nothing wrong with that at all, just pointing out if you continue to keep poking the perverbial stick in your buddies side. He may just come back with a 5k intercooled supercharger setup and poke back. All in good fun of course. :stick:

    05 M3 vs 05 GT

    The M3 should edge out the GT by .5 - .8sec in the 1/4mile Stock vs Stock. Given the rather large price difference between the two. The GT owner would walk all over the M3 if he spent a small portion of the purchase price difference on mods.

    "Blown" An Epic Campaign to V6 Mustang Superiority!

    Most got exactly what they wanted when they bought the six. For some the six isn't ever going to be enough. Just like some of the GT owners are always going to want the gt500. CAll it human nature, impulse buying, or what ever. Anyway we've got this thread way off topic. :OT: Not only...

    "Blown" An Epic Campaign to V6 Mustang Superiority!

    IMHO he was just trying to say. A person who's immediately going to drop a blower, headers, ported heads, exhaust, ect, basically top out a v6. Should have thought about what they wanted out of the car in the end a little more to start with. :shrug: They obviously have cash, the mod bug, and...
