I dunno guys. I have felt this way almost ever since I got it. Don't get me wrong, I love it but it's just a bunch of things. I just keep telling myself that it is normal, and it's a muscle car. Does you car do these things? Am I overly worried for nothing? Keep in mind that I am 21, and every car I've driven before this was a low hp econo 4 cyl.
- The car vibrates slightly because of the (stock) engine (I suppose it's normal?)
- The paint is swirled like crazy (very, very badly - yes I know, I bought it used and the previous owner screwed it up for me)
- When driving, it SOUNDS (not feels) like the car has no bite. I mean I have a catted MAC Prochamber, and when I get on it (even half throttle) it sounds like it is just GASPING for air. No, I don't have a CAI. It doesn't sound loud or menacing or anything.
- The steering makes loud sounds (pump is working like crazy I assume) when turned to the extreme right or left (DUH), but it seems louder then most other cars/Stangs even though it's been checked out and it's ok.
Anyways, I'm babbling. What do you guys think? Does it sound like your car is choking for air when you get on it? Even slightly get on it? Keep in mind, this is what I am hearing from the inside and not the outside (I am driving afterall lol). Anyways, mods are Mid-pipe, K&N, removed air silencer, H&R SS Springs, Steeda CC Plates, and I think that's it. Running Mobil 1 with 23,000 miles and not driven very hard (still have stock tires).
Thanks for the imput!
