Meathole posted:It won't be as quick or fast as the E, but I bet it's a hell of a lot more fun to drive every day. I've got the July MMFF in front of me, and they got their STOCK 2011 GT to run a 12.342 @ 110.77 mph(with slicks), so it is definitely no slouch. What exactly indicates to you that the mustang gt is slower in any category than the E55?

Wait so once you put this on your engine your engine warranty effectively becomes 12 months? or does the engine still have 3 years, and its just the supercharger that has 12 months?

frozenphil posted:I'm going to guess your engine warranty goes to 12 months from 36. I guess you can ride out your factory warranty and then install the supercharger if the warranty means something to you. if i had a 2011 gt i certainly wouldnt have the balls to do it until my last year of the warranty.

By the way, my cousin installed the corsa axle back exhaust on his 2011 yesterday (it was harder than i expected, we took almost 2 hours). It sounds good but not great. Its very quiet until you get to about 4000-4500rpm. It sounds like a muffled piece of tin foil is being drummed when sitting inside the car. On the highway what was really odd was it seemed like it was coming from 2 cars behind us, as if the sound couldnt catch up. Sort of like how distant thunder sounds. Its still a lot better than the stock exhaust which cant be heard unless its WOT all the way to fuckin red line. I suggested he try ford racing parts GT axle back exhaust for california (they literally made one thats 49 states legal, and 50 states legal, due to loudness) so he knows he has the best possible axle back exhaust but he isnt buying the suggestion

Tanz-Kommandant posted:Excellent video, Randy Pobst is such a good guy. It really irks me though when the Mustang is always paired against cars that are a hundred times more sophisticated, cost tens of thousands of dollars more, and it barely finishes behind them. As the guy in the video said "a win is a win" and they then tear the car down because it's like 1/10th of a second slower in an unofficial lap (even though it's 0-60 is the same and it brakes faster than the M3 in the same test) than it's incredibly high competition and that instantly makes it the loser, seriously Even stupider is the fact that the motor trend guy drove both around the track and the mustang was .55 seconds faster (the article is on their main page). I think they chalk it up to the mustangs low end torque which means you dont have to be driving the car on the limits of RPM the whole time. So in the hands of an average joe the mustang will probably win, when the m3 is supposed to be the "drivers" car and have hundreds of millions in R&D and a huge racing lineage backing it up. Guess that only goes so far though. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 02:24 on Aug 25, 2010 |

frozenphil posted:I'd wager the Mustang's racing lineage goes back a little further than the M3's. Maybe its just me but when i think of a mustang i dont exactly think ford was passing on all their racing poo poo to their road cars. When i think of M badge i think that its supposed to be a representation of BMWs racing parts. Im probably wrong about that though. reason i think this is because 335i and the M3 differ a lot, so do the z4 coupe and the m coupe, theyre very very different cars. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Aug 25, 2010 |

I guess lets change subjects to how lovely the spoiler was adhered to my 1999 GT. The adhesive completely was gone and the thing almost fell off when the last nut came off if i wasnt holding it. Luckily theres only SEVERE paint missing and a little bit of rust near the biggest holes on the left and right side. fuuuuck.

Skyssx posted:Well see the M3 is just a tuner version of the 3 series commuter cars. The Mustang, on the other hand, is a streetable version of the FRPP racing cars. For just a little more than the plain jane M3, you can get an actual race Mustang used in series like ALMS or RSCC. Thats actually pretty cool. How much money and modifications would it take to get a 5.0 to FRPP spec? I would think full shocks and spring kit from FRPP and some chassis stuff would get you pretty close. Then a crapton of weight reduction.

drat i thought i had a pretty nice condition mustang gt from 99 but you guys have better condition ones they are at least 2-5 years newer than mine though... is there any way i can get the 01-04 hood scoop for the 99 gt? i really loving despise my hood. It looks awful without that hood scoop, since the piece of plastic honey comb poo poo is so prominent smack dab in the center of it.

frozenphil posted:Dealers are making killer deals on GT500s now that the supercharger info for the GT has been released and everyone sees the potential there. Got any quotes for the gt500? i know someone who is interested and i just pointed them towards costco, since with the SVT package its $47,890... Considering an equal mustang gt 5.0 premium would be about $44000-45000 after FRPP supercharger installed and exhaust (since the gt500 sounds awesome stock, easily worth $1000). oh yeah plus 3 year warranty on the whole shebang instead of just a 1 year after you get a FRPP supercharger installed. Sure its not as fast as a SCed 5.0 but i bet its enough trouble putting down the gt500s power as is. coolskillrex remix fucked around with this message at 05:55 on Aug 31, 2010 |

frozenphil posted:Yes, but you're better off buying a complete hood from a junkyard or a Mustang forum's classifieds or buying whatever aftermarket hood you like. I would think getting the scoop painted "laser red" would be around $300 total, while buying an aftermarket hood for around $550-$600, then having that painted for $350-$400 is more than 3 times as much. Unless im wrong about prices i dont want to spend $1000 on a 99 GT just to get a new hood when the current one is still in good condition. quote:I'm not a dealer. Find a dealer who advertises on a Mustang forum and ask them what they can do. I meant what kind of quotes were you seeing that indicated the dealers were willing to make deals on the GT500.

PT6A posted:Yeah, I'm not exactly a "car guy," but can someone explain to me where the idea that a live rear axle is dangerous comes from? What dangerous situation can it create? If you are going around a corner at super fast speeds and you hit a large bump with one of your rear tires theres a good chance it can lose grip completely on you. Its dangerous only at already really dangerous speeds. So if youre some idiot who goes on lovely mountain roads at top speed then yeah it will put you in trouble. Wont give you any trouble on a decent track though.

A $15k increase in 8 years is more than just inflation. what?? a premium GT with comfort pkg, electronics pkg, 3.73, brembo brake pkg, & HID runs $39,500 MSRP (which is retarded in the day and age of costco auto).. electronics pkg and comfort pkg i could be without easily, since theyre both fuckin useless to me (okay i moved seat now i dont need to move it again especially for $600. Also i dont need loving $2000 sirius radio, and dont need $2000 voice navigation when a $100 garmin will do me just fine once a year when i need it). the GT premium is decked the gently caress out as is, really doesnt need any options. You dont "need" brembo package so you cant draw an equivalency between that and a 2003 GT. The minimum-good-options-but-holy-poo poo-still-blows-the-doors-off-a-2003 GT price stands hair above $35,000, but really $33k.

Imperador do Brasil posted:So your supercharged 32v 5.0 gets roughly the same hp as our naturally aspirated 32v 5.0? Pretty sure this was already gone over earlier in the thread but apparently ford australia likes to publish numbers from rwhp... so its 450hp/420ftlb of torque to the rear wheels. That means its going to make at least 517hp and 483 ft/lbs of torque at the fly wheel. Of course the 5.0 mustang gt seems to be underrated, so im guessing this engine is too. Fuckin crazy stuff.

However gently caress all that, buy a mustang gt with brembos for a little bit above $30k, then some FRPP suspension and supercharger for $10k INSTALLED and enjoy your car that is 99% of this car.

This gets rid of both. it also pains me to say it but i think the rear end actually looks nice too, even though its a little extreme in terms of body kit. rest of the thing is awful though roush has a nice front bumper too, though their grill has some really huge gaps in it that are inexcusable really SMS 302 also has some nice bits here and there, but overall its meh..

Depends on what your philosophy on exhaust is. Flowmasters will make it louder in the lower rpms than the gt500, but its a false loudness imo, and flowmaster seems to just amplify the low muddy notes of the exhaust, you get no high pitched exhaust noise. its as if theres a pillow stuffed in the muffler.
