    CarbonFiber Wheels

    Really, which ones? I'm with a Speed GT team here in Dallas, while I don't have to look at all the cars I haven't seen any carbon wheels on any one in our series or the support ALMS series :D We are not allowed to run any carbon wheel, or rotors in our class. The ALMS guys, I'm not sure...

    CarbonFiber Wheels

    Nice bike! There was a tid bit in Hot Rod or Popular Hot Rodding a few months ago about a company doing carbon fiber wheels for street cars. I do not see that ever holding up for a race car but it could be done.

    How does the Weight change the Dyno results

    So the dyno is run on the same weight no matter what the car....just figured as a constant?

    How does the Weight change the Dyno results

    Don't know....I'd be curious to see exactly what it would be. But seeing how the dyno loads the car as to how heavy it is and applies that to the resistance of the drums when the car tries to spin them...the heavier the car the harder it would be to spin....or at least I'm taking a guess here...

    Aftermarket clutch suggestions?

    you should be more conserned about the tq. cap. of the clutch.....figure you shooting for 750ish rwtq? I'd personally look into a Tilton or Quartermaster piece...race quality and reliablity and rebuildible so you don't have to buy a new whole unit when it needs to be freshen'd. Other than...

    Mods to improve gas mileage?

    As I have always heard it....when they say it increases by up to 7 points....thats 7/10ths of a point not 7. So if the bottle says 5-7 for 20 gallons then it bumps the octane up from 87 to 87.5-87.7 not to 92-94 octane But I do agree...dumping in high octane fuel just for the hell of it...

    When to order an 06?

    I ordered mine June 10th... mark ups on them are just plain dumb...find another dealer, I haven't found one that would go under sticker but I did find one that wasn't asking a deposit on order nor asking more than sticker.

    109,000? hell thats going to take most of the 06 production run if the 06 run goes like the 05s....so now what all of us are going to have to wait til 07? Maybe they should think about adding another shift to the line

    Corsa Exhaust claims 13 RWHP, anyone justify the price?

    You know...here is another question. They always talk about how the Flowmaster mufflers loose a lot of power on NA or FI cars yet there are a lot of race cars that use them. For example the TransAm series cars have almost always used a Flowmaster muffler and it wasn't a rule that said they had...

    Dynatek?

    Anyone every heard of this place? They have a bunch of photochopped pics up. If the cars actually look like that some of the parts might be pretty cool. www.dynatekracing.com

    Anyone know official date of 06 orders

    I ordered mine June 10, got an order number, and priority but nothing til they start the 06 production in august. Only thing I wish is that they had 'offical' pics of the wheel opitions, I'm hoping the base wheel still stays the bullitt ones as they don't have pics of the 18s yet.

    I Got my first Dyno and what an odd set of No.s

    The settings might not have been correct either....if I rememember correctly the Mustang Dyno asks for vechical weight as well doesn't it? Were all the parameters entered correctly?

    Aluminim Flywheel

    Lighter is always better the only odd ball time that would come into play would be on a very heavy car with a very small motor that needs that rotating mass to get it moving off the line. One of the other benefits is that it lets the motor rev more freely allowing for quicker upshifts and...

    Order update phone number???

    I realize I probably have 2 more months at least to wait..but everyone always talks about this automated phone number to keep yourself updated on the status of the car. What is it?
