    05 gt vs mach1?

    It looked like the Steeda underdrive pullies made a difference in you ET and trap, if I am reading into your post correctly. Also, it seems like the track might have been really fast that day that your acquintance ran a 112 trap. That's really fast. I ran a 109 trap and everyone was claiming BS.

    05 gt vs mach1?

    My 05 GT manual with C&L/Predator, Offroad X, and Magnaflow mufflers ran [email protected] with a 1.956 60'. That's on the stock Pirelli tires, stock 3.55 gear, factory tire pressure, and full weight. The car had a full tank of gas and luggage in the trunk. The next run I ran 13.1@109. Fact of the...

    Not to sound harsh, but learn how to drive.

    AutoX'ing

    I am assuming you have the GC Coilover kit. How do you like it? I was looking at Eibach sways as well. Make a big difference?

    Kenne Bell 2.4L for 05 Mustang GT-Sick!!!

    It's all in the tune and monitoring. 500 whp might not be too far fetched in the 05. I personally wouldn't want over 450rwhp in a daily driver. A good tuner goes a long ways.

    Precision Brakes Company

    Hope these work out well. The stock GT brakes suck, especially at higher speeds.

    Head rests

    This isn't a design flaw; it's there so you don't get injured in a rear end collision. I have never seen the headrest as a problem. Play around with the seat adjustements, as well as the height of the head rest.

    Any '05 GT owners here (or if you plan to buy one) who frequent Great Lakes Dragway?

    Im going to have my GT soon. I am going to take it to Byron in the spring to see what it runs stock. GLD sucks IMO.

    My Engine is Out of My Car...All of the threads

    How long has your car been in the shop? I would try and a get new car under "lemon" laws. I personally wouldn't be satisfied without getting a new car or an extended warranty.

    Disapointing top end performance?

    Don't know if the LS2's crank hp figures are factual, but Ford underrated the Cobra's motor. They both weigh roughly the same, so it must be gearing or aerodynamics. I am too lazy right now to compare the two:)

    Disapointing top end performance?

    Simple...The GTO has 100 more crank hp.

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    I have never seen any published numbers of the LS2 vs 4.6L 3V. Also, how do you know how much it costs to make either either, do you have acess to the manufacturing costs associated with either engine? As for making more power, the 4.6 doesn't have the displacement. The LS2 gets good gas...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    He is a GTO fanboy, but without the actual GTO. He said before he doesn't own a GTO nor a Mustang in a previous post. The guys lack of automotive knowledge is appauling, but he comes back. He reads way too many car mags and they are corrupting his mind. Car mags do not equal the automotive bible.

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    You really need to quit posting because you have diarrhea of the mouth. You don't know anything about cars, but keep coming back. Let me ask you this, what is so special about GM's LS1 or LS2 engine? The old addage of "there is no replacement for displacement" holds true. The design of the...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    GTO owners might get exclusivity, but thats cause the sales are poor. My point being, an owner of an SL55 AMG gets exclusivity because MB only builds a certain amount. GTO owners get exclusivity because of the lack of sales. The GTO is bland, hence the "stealth" factor. Non car enthusiasts...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    Entirely false...The LS1/LS2 is a great engine, but it lack the modern features such as VVT introduced in the new 3V 4.6L. As they say, there is no replacement for displacement. Also, the reason why the LS1 gets great mileage is because the 6 speed has a real low 6th gear. My friends C5...

    Deposit, is it refundable

    My dealer tried to make me sign a waiver saying if I defaulted, they could keep the $1000 deposit. I said I wasn't going to sign anything and if that was a problem I would go elsewhere.

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    Doesn't take a rocket scientist or are all GTO fanboys that dumb? The whole arguement is retarded, it traces back to simple supply and demand. There is a very low demand for GTO's, hence the rebates.

    Diablo uses my 05 for a test car for the PREDATOR

    I am sure you can reach an agreement without lawyer costs. Ford has to prove that the chip caused the engine failure, per the magnusson act. Ford SHOULD NOT void your bumper to bumper warranty for adding a chip or springs. They might not cover certain aspects of the warranty, per what the...

    Car and Driver Review- 05 Stang vs. 05 GTO

    Guess I am ignorant....Looking at it from a sales standpoint, yes the GT is better. The main goal of a company is to make a profit. In general terms, the more cars sold the more profits for the company. GM introduced a watered down product IMO, which is why it isn't selling to their expectations
