    Would you sell this mint 66 Fastback (pics included) for the new GT500?

    +1 Very well said This is magnified by the fact that GT500s are selling well over MSRP right now. If you got one now and paid $50K+ you would be hopelessly upside down in it when the car reaches MSRP in a year or so. Even if you pay cash for it, you still paid $10K too much for it. The...

    +1 While the new Shelby is cool. It isn't a classic. Keep the 66.

    This just in.... Evan Smith runs a 12.25 @ 117.18

    I agree with you 100%. I just had this discussion with someone at work today. There AREN'T that many people that can truly afford to purchase a car for $40K and even less who can spend $60K. Of those people who can afford that sum of money, only a fraction of them would want a GT500 anyway...

    Anyone have this problem?

    I've had this happen to me twice recently. Same conditions most of you are talking about, long trip on the freeway. Each time it happened I was accelerating at WOT in 2nd gear to get back on the freeway after about a 10 minute restroom break/map check. It never happened before and I have...

    How much power will a stock 4.6 handle?

    I don't know the answer myself, but it doesn't make any sense why a V6 would have forged rods and the GT wouldn't, especially from a business and manufacturing stand point.

    Anyone purchase from RPMOutlet??

    I ordered my BMR LCAs and FRPP axle-back exhaust from RPM Outlets and had no problem. I actually called to make an order and the guy went and personally checked the stock to see if they were in. The changed their shipping from UPS to US Postal for me so they could get the items overseas to my...

    Ford Racing x-pipe

    I don't know if you noticed, but the ford racing X pipe requires cutting of the factory exhaust. I don't know how that would affect your ability to install a different pipe later if you decide to do that. It also claims a 5hp gain which isn't bad for the advertised price of $129.00, but it...

    Mustang GT or 350Z?

    It sounds to me that you are over thinking yourself into indecisiveness. I think you should go with whatever excites you more, especially since it won't be your daily driver. The 350Z is a great car for all the reasons you mentioned...but I'll tell you that I have a Mustang because it just...

    WHERE IS THE NEXT 30HP???

    I think most people are going to tell you to go after some long tube headers, and/or an off-road pipe of some sort. That would get you the next 25 hp you are looking for. I see that you are from Cali too, so if you are concerned about smog (like I am) then this option won't be feasible.

    PRO 5.0 3.90 gears

    PRO 5.0 just released a set of 3.90 gears. I'm trying to see if anyone has any experience with them yet. I am particularly interested if anyone has had any problems with gear whine with the PRO 5.0s.

    What is going on with Bamachips no reply after placing order.

    If you used Paypal it will take up to 8 days for the money to clear and get into the Bamachips account. Once the money clears Paypal then you will probably hear back. That is how it worked when I ordered from them.

    BamaChips.. anyone have any problems w/them?

    Scramblr, I'm down in Hohenfels, east of Nurnberg. Yeah our stations show the US equivalent of gas, but we only had the 86.8, and 90. We don't have 93 where I am stationed. He tuned mine specifically to the Euro octane ratings since the best octane I have access to is 90, not 91 like one...

    BamaChips.. anyone have any problems w/them?

    Bamachips is outstanding! I just got a tune from them, and I am stationed in Germany. He had no problem sending me tunes for EURO octane ratings which are slightly different from states. Bamachips definitely lives up to its reputation. :nice:

    Keep the 03 or get an 06?

    If you are doing pretty good financially I would suggest you keep your 03 for a bit longer. That way you might be in the position to potentially buy a 2008 GT500 when the hype dies down. Or wait until 09 or whenever a new special edition comes out and get that. If you do that then us...

    Speed @ Redline

    This is the info published straight out of Motortrend. You can also find and download the Motortrend specsheet off the website too. Note their redline for the 05 Mustang is 6000 rpm and their first gear ratio is 3.34, others have said its 3.38. :shrug: Gear - Ratio - Overall Ratio - RPM...

    New Heads or just Head Gaskets?

    I am looking into getting a '90 LX 5.0, but it has a problem with overheating. This isn't deterring me from getting it, because I want this to be my first project car. The engine is stock, so if it happens to be a head gasket problem should I just put on new performance heads? That would...

    Does the GT500 come with HID lighting?

    I'm not convinced modern has anything to do with it, the retro Mustang is decidedly anti-modern....in appearance of course. Inside and out. Though I agree with the HID opinion. But that isn't being modern it is being higher tech like you originally said. HID lights are clearer and closer to...

    97 Cobra question

    I have the opportunity to buy a black/black 1997 Cobra for $11,900. It has a few bolt-ons to include 3.73 gears, exhaust, and CAI. No blower or underdrive pulleys. It has 82,XXX miles on it. Is this a good deal and/or should I be concerned about anything? I haven't test driven it yet. I...
