    How many ricers have you smoked in your 05 GT?

    I never look for races but when they look for me they find me, and then they become so small in the rear view mirror that is not funny, I have tried from riced Prelude, S2000, Accords, Maximas, G35's, Audis, Bimmers (old M3's)......., the only one very close (believe it or not) was a mid 90's...

    Mach 1 Struts/Shocks vs Stock GT *V.2.0*

    I did the change myself from the stock springs-shocks-struts to the Mach 1 setup, that was about 10000 miles ago, right away I notice a firmer ride and the drop was about 1/2", that was exactly what I was looking for, not too low and not too firm to make it harsh, so the Mach 1 suspension is a...

    Now or wait?

    I also have a 02 GT, I don't like to buy first year cars, so I want to wait until the 06 GT, and time has told me that the best months to buy a car are September and October, that is because during these months the dealers still have some inventory and rebates are high, so in conclusion I want...

    weight issues?

    I had the same concern a while ago when they just release the weight numbers, I didn't like the new weight, I was hoping for something lighter and smaller. However, after making a list of the cars I would buy other than the stang this is what I found: 05 Mustang GT: HP: 300 @ 5750 RPM...

    Nov. issue of Motor Trend: Auto GT goes 13.6 @ 99

    Also, Yes, the Evo can produce 1/4 mile times close to cars with 350hp, that is because its AWD system that helps it to get off the line really easy as oppose to car with a lot of HP that spin the rear tires very easy when trying to take off, a problem that is easily solve with sticky tires...

    Nov. issue of Motor Trend: Auto GT goes 13.6 @ 99

    So you are suggesting that a best buy is a cheap-looking-grocery-getter lancer evo made by one of the worst brands in the word. A good car is not only measured by the performance numbers, but as the whole package. Is an Evo better than a BMW 3-series (the bimmer is more $), well… let me tell...

    05 CA Emission Issues

    Don't thinks so, the new 05 Mustang GT is going to meet ULEV II (Ultra Low-Emission Vehicle II), which means it will produce less emissions than the 04 Mustang GT, even if the 05 produce more emissions than the ULEV standard, it should easily meet at least LEV standard.

    anyone port their upper intake??

    I did mine, the factory plenum is a sharp L, you just have to smooth the edge to make it more like a J, there was a website making a dyno for a ported plenum, but I saw the pictures of their ported plenum and it still was a sharp L. When I did mine, there was actually a lot of material that I...

    Why do Grand Prix try to race me?

    I had a race with a GTP a year ago, at first he passed me revving and slowed down for the stop light, I lined up and I knew he was going to punch it, when the light turned green I took off easy because I wanted him to do the first move (I knew I was going to win anyways), and he did, he punched...

    High gas prices and the new Pony

    My cusing has a 4-cyl accord, he gets 25 mpg, I get 22mpg in my GT, we buy 87 oct fuel for $2.1, he spends in average $1008 per year, and I spend $1145, so per year I only pay $137 dollars more but I have a lot more fun :nice: Having a V6 would be an average of $1095 per year with 23mpg...
