    What's The Automatic Selectshift Like To Drive?

    The title asks the question. My first GT was an 01 GT manual that I loved and drove for almost 160K miles. Been driving a Mini Cooper S with the automatic triptronic or something like that. I've actually really loved the way I can use the auto like an sequential manual: pull it back to upshift...

    Just turn 140K how to get to 200K?

    I've just turned 140K on my 01 vert and I'm wondering what I need to do to keep it going strong. I'm especially interested in what I need to do with the wheel bearings, tranny fluid (5sp), coolant and anything else I need to consider. I've replaced the ragtop, clutch and shocks (well after...

    Unusual exhaust question

    This is going to sound strange but I'm wondering if there is a performance exhaust that is quiet? I currently have Magnaflows and they sound great but I will be spending a lot of time in my car (starting a new job with a lot of tri-county travel) and will be on the phone more in the car also...

    What should I do?

    Hello Classic guys and gals, There is a 65, 289 down the street that my son has been drooling over for months. I go down and ask the lady if she is interested in selling and she says YES, enthusiastically. She hardly ever drives it anymore and really wants to get rid of it. I know very...

    Do computer need replaced?

    Number six cylinder in my 01 GT vert is not firing and the mechanic has been able to determine the wiring harness is working fine but the computer is not sending the impulse. He is telling me the computer needs to be replaced and is trying to do so with a used one, which is fine if it works and...

    Weapon X COPs

    Anyone running these? I replaced my cops about 3 months ago with a set from one of the performance stores...they didn't have the Accels so I bought their version the blue ones. What a terrible product! Within 3 weeks the first one fail, a month later another one and now a third is on its way...

    Do my old COPs have any value?

    I just replaced all of my Coil on Plugs. I know that at least one, maybe two, of the originals was bad. They have 120K miles on them but the boots are brand new. Should I just throw them out or list them, honestly of course, on Ebay. Do they have any value?

    "In Spec" alignment

    My GT has the Eibach Pro Kit so is dropped an inch and half, or so. My question is...when I take it in for an alignment and the techs tell me its "within spec" is it really in spec considering the lowering springs or does lowering change the alignment specifications?

    Should I wait for it to fail???

    I've developed a very bad miss under acceleration\load and figured it was a cop going bad. My GT Vert has 120K. I replaced the fuel filter and the problem remained. I put new plugs in, no change. I replaced the boots that connect the plugs to the coil packs and still no change. I figured...

    HELP! Why can't I get my front rotors off?

    I was planning on installing new cross drilled rotors today but couldn't get the stincking old rotor off. Took the entire caliper off and I thought the rotor was supposed to just slide off. Did I not do something I should have? There was rust between the central hub kind a thing and the...
