Placed order for my gtx3076 kit. Going with a .82a/r. Ordering my devils own meth kit with sumped tank and braided lines now:)
......no wait.....:D

Def run full braided, dont fuck with trying to bend hard lines under your car. Major PITA. I just wasted 2 25 foot coils of 1/2 Aluminum Line trying to do mine on the garage floor. Kinked the hell out of it and ended up going with -8 steel braided the whole way instead.

Beefed up Tremec TR6060. I saw a full spread sheet on all the ratios but I cant find it now.
I hope they finally get this transmission right.

damn....sounds like a lot of time wasted. well the kit comes with hard nylon tubing but im gonna get the braided lines instead. its about 90 bucks extra and i feel that not having to worry about the lines at all is totally worth it.

Sounds like fun :goodjob:
I bet that little wagon will scoot when its finished.
yeah i think it will be a blast!! i scaled things back quite a bit with the build but i think i can get 450 reliably out of a dd tune. im spraying meth purely for the cooling on the dd tune, and on my race tune we will add some timing and kick the boost up a bit for 500-525whp. i'd love to push it and run a 10.99 but id rather it be in one piece. we will see how it all turns out

If you're referring to the older TR6060's with the 2nd gear grind issues, yes that has been fixed. The gears are cut completely different.
The MT trans in the GT's are another issue by themselves.

The only thing I will gripe about is the cheap, hard, shitty plastic inside. No offense, but it looks like Ford forgot that people actually sit in therefor reasons other than going fast...
From a mechanical standpoint: :goodjob:
PTCDC5
06-12-2012, 01:14 PM
Steve, I agree with you on the interior. However, I will say based on the 2012 GT500 I worked on not to long ago that the steering wheel and seats had an extremely sporty and quality feel. Ford has stepped it up quite a bit and this is coming from a guy who is not a fan of made in America.
SHHHH
06-12-2012, 01:21 PM
I agree Steve. Ford never has really put that much time into the interior. Im totally fine with it but then again maybe im just used to it since this will be my 6th Mustang. As for any other reason besides going fast........I cant think of one :crazy:
Pretty sure I'll be ordering goodies tonight. It should go straight from the dealer to under the knife next week.
Why be happy with 600rwhp when 700rwhp is only a couple bolt ons away :taun:
Theothersawyer
06-12-2012, 01:25 PM
I know that Ford has changed to many soft touch materials in the interiors of their cars, but they still have many hard plastics. The interiors have definitely improved.
Just finished reading this book and it was phenomenal, especially coming from someone who NEVER reads! Ford was a lot worse off then I knew and it was amazing that they turned around from the shit hole they were in.

Seats and wheel look fine, (going off of an older gt500 as Phil's are covered in plastic), its just the dash and control knobs/buttons that look like rent-a-car material...
I will say this though: it wouldn't stop me from getting one, it would just make me question the price I'd be paying for it. lol And this is partly why I'm hesitant on used Z06....

I really can't afford either at the moment, but C5 as its will be more realistic financially- I don't want to get in over my head financially. I want to be able to own a car, pay for the required maintainance, and still live comfortably with little financial strain, ya know? lol
Seriously though, I know the C6 is much better, but honestly, I feel like the C5 would be adequate for me and what I want to do/build. My other option is a subaru "oriented" (< key word)build that could potentially be a reality sooner than the Z06...

Andrew went out of town with Tommy and left his car in the garage at tommy's. I took it to the store the other day and then dropped my girlfriend off at work in it yesterday... Its just nice to drive something different (especially something as nice as his car) and makes you appreciate your own car that much more...

My salesman was going on vacation so he offered me the option of signing all the paperwork through the mail and just sending it back to him so I agreed. Well he paid for overnight priority delivery and all the paperwork and finances were finalized today so I told him my parents would be coming to pick it up :boobies::boobies::boobies:

Since no one else posts anything I'll just continue to spam away GT500 stuff haha
In the 3 laps they ran each car the Shelby put up 2 fasters laps then the ZL1's fastest. The 3rd lap was .12 behind the fastest ZL1. Sometimes I dont get journalism but its whatever. I'd rather have the car that wins in actual "tests", other than opinions about comfort and which would be the more comfy daily driver. Because people spend 60K on a muscle car to have the most comfy daily driver :crazy: :thinking:
GT500:
Lap 1 - 1:38:68
Lap 2 - 1:39:03
Lap 3 - 1:39:30
ZL1:
Best Lap- 1:39:18
They never gave any other lap times :thinking:

ZL1 owner question on a camaro forum(camaro5.com):headslap:
"ZL1 BOOST GAUGE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just happened to notice today that my boost gauge moves when I accelerate. Is this normal? Is it suppose to move at all. It moves all the way to where it read VAC. I'm not too familiar with the supercharged boost gauge. I just didn't remember seeing it do that before.
Anyone? "
I love reading camaro5.com. It has the be the most worthless, bias forum in existance but its like a train wreck. I just cant stop looking at it hahahaha.
They are all butthurt because of the fact the ZL1 lost in every "tested" catagory. The excuses are hilarious! Hahhah :lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:
"Ya well the GT500 cost more so it should win." Base for base the GT500 is cheaper but ok.
"Ya well the GT500 has more power so it should win." Wow ok I dont think I've called anyone a "ricer" in 8 years, dont make me start now Camaro fans.
"Ya well the GT500 doesnt go over bumps as well as the ZL1." This is why you spent 60K on a car.......because those damn pesky speed bumps.
"Ya well the ZL1 is easier to drive and feels more planted to the ground." Thats what having over 100ftlbs less and about 250lbs gets ya. You are planted to the ground hahaha. Pretty neat being slow isnt it ZL1? Yet the GT500 puts the power down better :screwy:
"Ya well the GT500 is maxed out from the factory." Keep telling yourself that ZL1.
"Ya well the ammenities on the ZL1 are nicer." By nicer Im assuming you mean not having Nav,touchscreen,Recaros,glass roof,sync...because I dont remember any of those options on the ZL1 order sheet.
"Ya well the ZL1 comes in an automatic." ...........I like autos but come on man....thats your ace in the hole? :gay:
Just poking fun and killing time at work this morning. Had to open so im bored hahaha.:crazy:

^^^ Woooow
I guess that quote from that movie Born To Race applies here.. "It's one thing putting in after-market parts in your car, but it's a whole different story if you know how they work together.". I'll use the same concept. It's one thing to be able to buy a high performance car, but it's a whole different story if you know how to drive it (or know what what it can do). People... That's just border line retarded. Pretty sad.

Well I see you love your GT500 and know a good amount about stangs so I just wanted to get your opinion on the Boss 302 Laguna Seca. Im going to be getting rid of my Bmw here pretty soon and have been stuck on the Laguna Seca since i laid my eyes on it but wanted someones opinion that already drives a stang and knows there way around one.

Sorry for typos in advance. Im at work and I have to run back upstairs in a second.
The Boss 302 is an amazing vehicle. I'd recommend atleast a 2012 and go straight to the dealer and order the Red Track Key. Its like $350 and it literally changes all the perameters in the computer. Look up some youtube videos and you'll see what I mean.
The base model Boss is a great car and you can get them new for not as much mark-up, if any. They Boss LS was hard to get when it first came out but you can find some used and even 2012 new that dealers have held onto. The 2013s are being marked up from what I've seen.
If you're going to do hardcore autocross or something along those lines then I guess the LS is the better choice. There really is no right or wrong way to go. Id personally get the LS because its a more limited model run but I know a lot of people get the base and with way less $ than the LS option you can turn the base Boss into a badass track car. Even more so than the base LS. The LS have rear seat delete which you probably already know which is really neat.
The only bad thing about the LS is that they dont have as many color options. I think the 2013's you can only get in Black or Yellow but the stripes are reflective which is a neat touch like the originals. Recaros are a must and if you go with the base model you can order the Recaro and Torsen differential package as well.
Good luck and Id recommend browsing Mustang forums in Boss threads for more indepth answers. The question between which Boss to get have been brought up numerous times :goodjob:

Not as hard as they once were to find. The new ones have dealer mark ups but I bet you could find a new 2012 at MSRP if you haggle. I looked hard into getting one but the power from the GT500 I couldnt pass up.

Oh god just learn how to type already haha JK but yeah I've looked at the track key before and was just astonished by the fact for such a cheap price you can have the launch control or 2-step which ever you may call it. I've found a couple Boss LS that are out of state which is no problem to me but before I take a trip to go look at one in person I wanted to get a couple opinions so I know its worth the trip. Overall I've been very impressed with the Boss LS as far as Exterior and interior goes. I do like the rear seat delete and the "X" brace along with the Recaro's that add that track touch to it. It is kind of a bummer that the color choice is only between black and that orangish color but doesn't keep me from liking the car any less because I wanted to go with the black and red color scheme they have anyways. I really do like what they've done with the exterior as far as making all the lines flow from the front splitter all the way to the spoiler which all helps give it that aggressive track look. I will deff take a look at the mustang forums and do some more research! I appreciate your input and would love to see your 200mph car sometime :)

The Black and Red was the original model year color along with I believe Silver and Red. They do not offer the Track Key option either for that model year I dont believe. The only LS colors for the 2013 are Black on Black and Yellow on Black.
There are people who have owned/own a 2012/2011 GT500 and the Boss 302 and from the majority of the reviews Ive read they prefer the Boss. If you're not looking to spend GT500 money Id go 2013 Boss LS Yellow on Black and call it a day. Not quite as good as a track car as the Shelby but its cheaper and to be honest....a supercharged track car doesnt make much sense. Heatsoak would be a bitch running lap after lap hahahha
I believe Gene Evans in Union City has a 2013 Yellow and Black base Boss 302 in their showeroom.
Good lucking searching, you will not be disappointed :goodjob:

Looks like I need to take a trip to Gene Evans! If I got a 2012 Boss LS in the red/black the first thing I would do is paint a few of the red parts black. Some of the parts just seem out of place when red. It definitely doesn't look bad in person though!

I only use All Speed for my alignment needs; partially because I don't have much choice, I need the in-ground, but also because it is a quality alignment. My most recent one went out of whack quick, but that may be a vehicle related issue. We have yet to investigate.

The only lens that's worth a shit in that kit is the 50mm. The 18-55vr is pretty good if you're Michael J Fox and you're trying to shoot pics while on crack. If not, find someone giving away a regular 18-55 for cheap.

So I just did some research and the VR version of that lens is about the same price as the regular one. You don't want to mess with all those wide angle converters or that cheap flash that comes with it. If this is your first SLR cam, get a D3100 and save yourself 100 bucks.

Well i want the flip out screen and the external mic jack for video so i think im gonna go with the 5100 anyway. I just dont know much about this stuff or the lenses. I dont think i will ever get into it enough to warrant super high dollar lenses. The 1.8 was something corbin and others recommended so that is something that is a definite.

I'll use Allspeed for anything really; not just limiting anything to alignments. I never got around to getting an alignment on my Accord after the swap was completed so I needed one. Then I got the phone call that I was hoping for so I need to wait a little longer.
