Jager is my choice of drink when the times come! :D
Drove the new 5.0 GT the other day. That's a pretty quick car for being stock. I have to say, I would almost be tempted to buy one.
I'm thinking about taking a trip to a ford dealership and coaxing a ride. IDK.... Need to wait a few more months so they're a little more common place.
Ive never really cared for ford or mustangs (sorry uncle phil) but I absolutely love the new GT's, hell id even consider a v6 @ 300hpQuote:

Gene Evans in Union City only had one GT with the proper gear box; the one I test-drove and someone happened to be working out a deal on it. It was white with red interior. It looked pretty damn good. My only complaint about the car is....it rides too damn smooth. Smooth enough to where to you don't even realize how fast you're really going.
Is it floaty at speed?
It seems like it would be...they ride on rails.
Moostang?
I saw a black 5.0 on a roll back the other day. Nice cars and I would have to agree with the above V6 comment. With pretty much all the same options as the GT and 300hp, I would buy one too.
As for that new GT500..........secks.
this post makes no sense, bob.Quote:

Nothing's really wrong with it, but the X02 top mount is cheap (<$300) and has proven itself as an exceptional performer time and again. Its fairly large and has a super small pressure drop which is a huge plus. I wanna get tuned and turn the boost up to ~18psi. At that pressure level the stock TD04 is comparable to a blow torch in terms of air temp so while the stock intercooler can support decent power (400 is for the STi units IIRC) its more capable to do so with a more efficient turbo such as a 16g.Quote:

I can get pro-tuned with nothing more than a tactrix cable and even then, any tuner would have his own. So it kinda seems like a waste of $600. Still undecided but time will tell.
At the moment I'm not too happy with the car. I had a problem months ago where the car would hesitate and bog under moderate load and above 4k rpm. It would come and go at random, sometimes days apart and NEVER throw a CEL. After replacing $500 worth of ignition coils and trying numerous other things I found out my airbox was cracked causing the problem. I fixed it with an SPT intake- or so I thought. The problem came back last week and the headache too. No CEL (no stored codes or pending codes), complete randomness, typically when the car is driven farther distances, just bloody insane......
Its not an ignition related issue, its fuel. Somethings telling the ecu false data or altering the data to the ecu causing it to cut fuel or there's something amiss with the fuel system itself causing starvation. Open to ideas and suggestions......

Hey Steve, how's the new toy working out for ya?
I need a set of 4x100 steelies to borrow ASAP. Anyone?
Do you have a laptop you can hook up while driving to see whats going on? If nothing elese install a fuel pressure gauge, They're cheap and extremely easy to install to see if you're getting a pressure drop when it happens. That way at least you'll rule out your pump and related hardware in and out of the tank. Once you figure out if its a delivery problem or not, you can move onto the scheduling side of the house. A laptop and software would be your best bet.
Possibly a crack somewhere and you're getting boost loss? Thats my only ideas. I'm an idiot when it comes to boost. Its like trying to explain a Kaledeioscope to a retard.
I'm going,anybody else?Quote:

When its not running right the A/F translates into a not safe at all 15:1- under full boost!!!!Quote:

I'm gonna change the filter. Its got about 18k miles on it so its kinda due. But I find it odd that it only does it on ocassion not all the time. Idk..
Regulator and/or fuel pump are on the hit list soon if it doesn't get cleared up....
did a little searching for ya steve, but I dont know if its relevant cause i dont know boosted cars, but they all complained about hesitation. They said:
1)Check your fuel grade
2) Clean the MAF
3) Clean the boost solenoid
4) Check your oil and make sure its not over filled.
done
done
done
done
sigh.... It gets expensive to just start swapping stuff out that may or maynot be it...

yeah yeah.
we should check it out on a black legend coupe:)
Done. Let me know when your coming over, we can both stare in awe of the flame :DQuote:

And finally, when do you want to go militant on some COD again?
saturday. Might have somebody following me in a familiar white prelude....
