Looks good. I'm with you on 18" being big enough. I had a G35 coupe before I got my GT and I vowed never to own rims bigger than 18" ever again (The G had 19" rims). I'm through paying that much for tires. I'm keeping my 17's for now, though I'd really like to find som 17x10.5's for the...

I read somewhere that they added some welds to the frame because road racers were reporting problems with the frame's integrity... Don't quote me on it though.

I know the spec sheets all say 300hp, but just curious if the newer engines are any stronger than the 05s? I'm still learning about mustangs (this is my first). I used to be in the F-body camp and the LS1 engine improved over the years even though GM didnt change the reported output numbers...

Bicycles do not belong on sports cars... In Dallas I saw someone in a 911 turbo with a bike rack on the roof... I almost cried. If you can buy that car you can afford to carry your bikes around in something else...

I washed the car with the blue dawn that is recommended by most people, and then waxed it...

Clay is not the answer. The car is brand new and has no flaws on the paint yet...

Sorry, forgot to post back. My car is Tungsten.

Perhaps I should have reviewed the web page a little better :) I think I can get the Zaino products I need after all without breaking the bank. I'm either going to try the Z-AIO or go with the Z2, Z6, Z7 group...

I just got my GT about 3 weeks ago and I have been using some Meguires gold class clear coat car wax. Needless to say it is not an outstanding product. The water does bead up nicely on it, but there is no pop to the finish. It lacks the depth I have seen in other products. A few years ago I...

I just traded my 2005 G35 coupe for an 07 GT. So far I'm very happy. The GT is a very raw muscle car and it's a blast. I used to have a 98 SS with 320 hp and 330 ft-lbs to the wheels, and I have to say that I really missed the torque of a V8 when I had my G35. However, I will say that if you...

After reading the above article, how can you argue that CAI don't offer any gains? I was skeptical at first, but now I am a believer!

My only problem with 1/4 mile claims is that so much of that depends on the driver. You cannot repeat a launch every time so that it is exactly the same. There are way too many variables that will affect your times.

I read that article. It was a good read. Those are some impressive performance gains from a new intake. Looks like I'll have to pick one out now. Thanks for saving me from a mistake.

I'll track down that article. Thanks for the replies guys. I actually have another concern regarding the rigidity of the aftermarket systems. The fact that the stock setup flexes is important. Under heavy throttle the engine will rotate on it's mounts. If the aftermarket systems are rigid...

Thanks Dark, I'll have to keep reading up on CAI's :).

I was looking at the intake yesterday and it dawned on me that the intake is probably not the main reason the CAI/tune combo wakes the car up so much. The stock intake tube does not seem to be that restrictive to me (I've seen cars with WAY worse). I need to take a closer look at the airbox...

Just currious if anyone has tried doing the re-tune without the CAI? Or in other words, how bad is the stock air setup really?

The reason I ask is that on my G35 coupe, I put a conical filter in place of the air box and noticed a very annoying whistle when you pressed the gas. I don't know if it was just that particular filter's design or what, but it was so annoying that I put the stock box back on. However, at WOT...

Just curious if there is any sound change from CAI and tune alone?
