Thanks for helping to make it happen, man. I'll hit you up again next year when I buy my ZR.

Now that you picked it up don't forget to go back to the dealership and get the Sammy TSB applied

Ah, but it works! Seriously, if you don't like it, fine. But if all you can do is bitch about it,

, there's no point.

I made a choice about the car I drive. I'm sorry that somehow my vehicular decisions have a magical way of bunching your panties and causing you discomfort.

you can do whatever you want as long as you're happy. it doesn't affect me either way. but you still haven't answered my question, how much money did you lose in the trade? if it was a good chunk of money, why not go with supercharging the z?

Supercharging the Z wouldn't have achieved what I wanted.

If you really want to know, I can run numbers tomorrow and tell you. I did lose some money, yes, but you always lose money on a car. These aren't investments. This is money I could have "lost" in one weekend in Vegas anyways. If I was concerned about it, I wouldn't have done it.

i believe the stillen supercharger gives 515 hp and 343 torque. don't have any numbers, but that seems more than enough for the z to match if not exceed the mustang.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO GIVES A F*CK!!
The man already made his decision and is happy. Im pretty sure he and the majority of the members know what he can do with a SC or TT! He obviously didnt want to take that route. So just congratulate the guy and stop coming up with things that wont make a difference!

Have a friend developing a brand new 5.0 mustang for the last 3 months and Ford created a new ecu map based on problems with the stock map that he pointed out.

So they were going to just flash his car but then it would have been illegal for the SCCA pro solo and Solo Finally for this year. So a new TSB has been created and all mustangs can benefit from Sammy's work...

His was the third car flashed (you can guess who owns the other two), and it seems to have fixed all the problems. He is currently kicking the crap out of the Shelby Mustangs at the SCCA solo finally events.

He took Pro Solo by almost a second (which is a lot in auto x) and we shall see if he has obsoleted the Shelby Mustangs by Friday...

That's awesome! I will have to look into it, though down the road I am going to get the Steeda CAI and SCT Tune so it's probably a moot point. But that's awesome that Ford did that for him.

I wish Nissan gave us that kind of support.
