    Electronic Traction Control

    The TC is very clever it's designed to give people the impression of a powerfull almost out of control car without putting them at risk. That's to say it only really lets the wheels spin freely at low speed with the front wheels pointed straight. When the TC does trigger it feels like the car's...

    Giugiaro Mustang Concept for Los Angeles revealed!!!

    The styling's a little extreme (after all it is a never-to-be-produced fantasy car) and the interior is nauseating, but overall a nice looking package. I think the only thing we can really draw from this is that Ford is going to try really hard to incorporate a fastback roofline into the next stang.

    Take a guess!!!

    A plasma booster!? I though Iran was the only middle eastern nation with a Nuclear program. :rolleyes: The only mods you have that will increase power are the filter, mufflers and program. I assume that the program is a high octane tune... anyway all of that likely adds up to little more than 20...

    Please look at these dyno results

    Those are very bad numbers but the dyno could be miss calibrated or the environmental conditions could be poor (humid, hot and high). However that craptacular curve certainly indicates something is very wrong. The stock Mustang torque and power curve is very smooth, the fact that your's is all...

    Alignment specs for road racing?????????

    I have a daily driver that I take to the track every once in a while. I got a shop to dial in -1.5 front camber with stock toe and caster (note you'll need aftermarket parts to do that (Steeda)). It feels better on the street and there's no un-even tire wear. I haven't been able to take it to...

    Brake Bleeding Kits?

    Does anyone know where I can find speed bleeders for an 06 GT??? I've looked high and low online and can't find any for later than the SN95.

    BEST FITTING AND SOUNDING EXHAUST~PLEASE HELP RECOMMENDING ONE~

    I had a JBA system but found it to loud, I also found the fitment to be subpar. I now have the quiet version of the Ford system, it's just slightly louder than stock in most situations but it still roars at WOT, plus the fit and finish is PERFECT. It's exactly what I wanted. BTW I also found the...

    Interior Upgrades In Mid Year

    Just so-that nobody thinks I'm a closet Mustang basher / troll let me just say that while the interior IS CHEAP I absolutly love the car. And though it is crummy the interior's actually very functional (except for the cupholder in the way of shifting!). I've owned a VW, a Porsche and a Subaru...

    Interior Upgrades In Mid Year

    Ouch, you dudes don't take criticism very well do you?! :rlaugh: Relax, it's just a car... a car with a really cheap interior. My point to the original poster is that the "upgrades" coming out are just extra options on the same crummy interior, don't expect anything better than what you see now...

    Interior Upgrades In Mid Year

    I LOVE my GT but the interior certainly does lack refinement. It's like sitting in a lunch box... plastic EVERYWHERE. They need more soft-touch materials and textured fabrics. However we won't be getting that anytime soon, the only mid season upgrade that I know of is an additional option that...

    How Long Did You Wait For Yours ?

    It was just over a month for me between initial order and pickup. I shopped around for a dealer that would give me a reasonable price and had immediate allocation. If you're waiting 4 months it better be because you're getting a smoking deal.

    Engine braking (lack of)

    As others have correctly posted it's due of the electric throttle thinking it knows how to drive the car better than the driver :Damnit: . It will EVENTUALY close but you have to wait for it. Most of us refuse to acknowledge it but our big - manly man - import crushing - V8 thundering super...

    Did i waste $830 on the wheel upgrade?

    Your friend is right... pretty much. A 17" wheel and tire will outpreform an 18"+ wheel, on the strip and on the road course, not to mention give you a better ride. HOWEVER a larger diameter wheel will usually also be a wider wheel, which carries a wider tire, if this is the case then the extra...

    Vortech or Roushcharger

    Okay, but again just to be clear; an SC (positive displacement or not) won't have the engine under boost (i.e. manifold pressure greater than ambient) at cruise. So; a twin screw SC'd V8 cruising along won't be under any more "pressure" than a NA V8 or a centrifiugal SC'd V8. After all if it...

    Vortech or Roushcharger

    Subzero, I think you're operating under a common misconseption here. A supercharged engine (positive displacement or not) will not have a higher manifold pressure than a NA engine for the equivalent power output. After all if it did you would be generating more power (compressing more air...

    Vortech or Roushcharger

    Hey subzero05, what do you mean that positive displacement chargers stress the engine at cruise? Why? I'm not trying to be smart, just curious because I'm planning on getting the Saleen unit, and my main reason for that is because I need a reliable daily driver (with a butt load of power).

    AutoX'ing

    The stock GT brakes are actually very powerfull (just look at how big they are). The problem is the stock pads suck and the stock fluid is worse. Replace those first. Then upgrade the brakes only if needed. And at the risk of doing a rant / flame thing let me just say that coil overs have gotta...
