    upgrading to a GT!

    That is what I paid for my car nearly three years ago with less milage however it wasn't a vert. IMO i'd say get a coupe and you can find one for 7-8k with the same milage. One word on buying used cars, PATIENCE, you will find a deal. +1 also on getting a 2001 or 2002 car, but I wouldn't get...

    Funny you mention this, I'm currently going to school to become a mechanical engineer and my best friend and girl friend are both going to school for accounting, i'm sure we'll strike up some interesting conversation in two years or so when we hit the job market, that is if there are any jobs...

    Ford's 400HP 5.0 (Coyote) V8 spied !

    May be better served as the cost/gain of DI may not be worth it as it seems it has a greater advantage with FI engines than NA engines

    I've read several times that this engine was designed with direct injection in mind to come out at a later date, anyone with verification on this??

    Installed MGW last night

    MGW all the way, I never miss a shift in third either, and the 360 degrees of adjustability is an awsome feature.

    Another LT1 talking

    I agree 100% about the 60 ft times, I was disappointed in myself for the times I got, the lowest 60 I had out of 6 runs was 2.2 all the others were 2.3-2.4. But for being on the track the first time ever I was satisfied with my times. With my tune and new tires I would be dissapointed to not...

    Another LT1 talking

    As far as dr's are concerned I want to find a set but i really don't want to put them on my Cobra rims due to the fact that this is my daily driver. Anyone know the widest tire that can fit on an 8" rim, I had 255's on there and they bulged a quite a bit. As far as the track and conditions...

    So my buddy and I have agreed to go to the track this spring and duke it out. He has a 97 Trans am LT1 with headers and catback, and a tune to support the header mod that is going to be done by himself, if he ever gets it tuned correctly. My car has the mods in the sig. His car is an auto not...

    OE wheels! Yup I got F***ED, GOD IM MAD

    Yea that does suck, but you don't have near the problems that I did with my car. Long story short, a construction company did not correctly leave a road after tearing up the old asphalt, cost me two rims two new tires, rear axle, and having my car be down for 2 and half months after it had been...

    Wheels: OEM or Replicas?

    I just bought a set exactly like you are looking for, got the for $600 including tires, which not much tread left on them but enough to make through the winter I hope. I have heard horror stories about the chrome on replicas turning a tarnish or black color.

    Nasty Driving!

    That is what i was trying to say, guess I wasn't paying attention to what I was typing. Yes most of those moves would be much more difficult with a rear wheel drive car. But I agree the donut in the box was very impressive. Made me jealous
