noone asked you to take time to read it if you didn't want to.

honestly the ergonomics of the stang are one of the main reasons I'm getting rid if it...I hate the way it feels inside compared to the T/A's (I've owned 2 LT1's now I know about the rear ends, there are people running 11's on the stockers FYI :) I did it on Saturday, I traded in the 03 for...

i had a 1995 Mustang before I bought my 95 T/A...car was in AWESOME shape, I couldn't find a scratch on it. The dealer couldn't keep it running for longer than 20 minutes at a time before it died and wouldn't restart for another 10 minutes. If the old posts are still on here you can find them...

$250/month is more than I can afford, and I don't care if its a Viper I'm not spending more than I can afford per month...done that WAY too many times, time to look out for the family first. :) ok well maybe if it was a Viper....:D

thanks for all the responses guys, I appreciate it. I have owned 2 T/A's in the past (LT1's) so I kinda know the mess I may be getting into :D I think Im gonna go with the LS1. One main thing made up my mind: $400/month as opposed to $650/month. Pretty much cinches it right there. Oh...

its got 30k miles on it, still has some warranty left. It appears to be in good shape, but I'll know more when It comes in (its being transferred from another Carmax store to this one). FWIW I have bought my last 3 cars from carmax, and sold them a few too...I have a lot of trust in what their...

I would but whatever car I get now is going to be the car I own for a LONG time, and the 03 just isn't the car for me..theres too much about it I don't care for.

ok guys I need help. I have an 02 LS1 Trans Am coming in and I need to decide today if I am going to buy it or hold out and try to get an 05 stang GT. I know about the LS1 but not as much about the 05, maybe you can help out.. The things I want in a car: 1. fast (duh, but the LS1 wins...

ebay, you can pick up some decent turbos there for not too much if you look. Have you decided which turbo you need? There's a LOT to picking the right turbo for your car... www.turbomustangs.com is a good resource, check out the JY turbo section

the guys at KB have had many motors running the IC 9psi kit without losing the bottom end...its all in the tune (which comes with the blower). IMO I'm with the guys above, pick up a nice KB 9psi kit for $5200 and see the other side of 400rwhp instead of heads/cams/etc and seeing the low side...

I like my 4.30 gears but they are really on the ragged edge of streetable. Few things I don't like about them: taking off from a stoplight is like getting into a race everytime because you shift so fast MPG sufferes on highway travel, not so much around town though I noticed. I still...

possibly, but you can check the clearance you have at rest and see where its at. I personally think you lost a motor mount somewhere.

an engine being efficient at its torque peak does not mean that is the most fuel efficient spot, it just means the engine is burning the fuel better (gross oversimplification). Our cars torque peak is at like 4000rpm, are you gonna tell me I should drive around at 4000RPM everywhere to get the...

3mo/3000 miles. why screw with the most expensive part in your car because you didn't want to do the least expensive maintenance part? You CAN go 6000 or way more on the oil if you change the filter, but if your going to spend the time getting under the car to change the filter, why not...

would have to agree that the allen kit is not in the running...its (somewhat) cheap, but most people I have seen with it are making pretty low numbers. I have seen people making 380rwhp with a used Saleen series 4 though...

exactly what I said - I'd like to see any full weight mild bolt on sans LT GT's pushing 12's. Seems extremely rare to me if it has happened at all, as was claimed back on page 4 or so. Not to doubt anyone, but your HP for the mods you have seems quite extraordinary from what I have been...

I only got through about 4 pages of this, but I'd really like to see a full weight N/A no heads/cam/longtubes GT get into the 12's. Most of the minimally modded GT's have trouble getting into the 13's... read this thread from Bill Putnam about what it takes to get a GT in the 12's N/A...

the GM guys have had great success with Kumho tires...they grip pretty good and a few have noted they are pretty decent for autox use

I don't see the before numbers, so in your opinion were the longtubes worth a decent gain for the PITA they were to put on?

if its taking that long to spool up, it needs way less turbo than what it has on it...
