mustang will do that:stirthepot:


Seriously though...you will probably pick up essentially nothing for most of the reliability trade-offs...

Wanna go faster? buy some drag radials.

:iagree:

Cool, looks like I'll be ok with the 7800 limit.

Thats why Im at 7800. I tend to hit the limiter more often than Id like to admit. Its borderline abusive. I would have liked 8k but my car wouldnt have. If you only plan to take it up that high on a special occasion I say go for it.

This is like the useless thread for folks who want to still talk about car stuff in general...:icon17:

knowing blades, it is an unnecessary temptation.

Yeah, he's wondering how far off road he can drive with an 8k limit.

Rarely past 5k!?!? Holy nuts I wish I had that kinda restraint! Your gonna love the Gen 3s. And just wait till you get HFCs or test pipes whuch I prefer. Itll open up your CBE a lot. Itll sound 10x better:tup:

:bowrofl:

Or how quickly I can get off the road :icon17:

When you're stuck in rush hour traffic you don't really have a choice :p

:icon17:

Just got a scan of the Car and driver article and wanted to correct something...




Z-> 158
Mustang-> 154

Mustang is far left, Z is second from right.


So....no.

:owned:

so blades, when does your 5.0 show up?

DONT do it Blades!!

:happydance:

I took b1ades for a ride once.

Then afterwards we took the 5.0 for a spin. ;)

They did the stopping test after they heated up the Z's brakes to cause fade.

:wtf2:


Steve, it's raining here/ I'm lazy. How involved is the muffler swap?

:icon14:

Fixed. iPhone edit

Not that bad. Passenger side muffler came off without issue. The driver's side is a little bit more of a PITA. I had to unbolt the hanger from the car and remove it with the stock muffler, attach it to the new muffler, then get everything lined up and bolt it back in.

Might be different for you depending on what mufflers you go with.

but comfortable on jackstands?

don't think so. that's actually (from what I've seen) the best stopping time they've recorded amongst the 4 Z's they've tested.

Their test procedure does the 70-0 times before anything else, the the SQM, so they don't induce fade.

10-4. You might need to loosen the pipe connections at the factory H pipe to be able to move everything easily into place, but yeah, with the rear up on stands it's simple.

:iagree:

As soon as your payment for it goes through :roflpuke2:

If something were to happen to my Z, I'd probably get a 5.0 to replace it. :ugh2:

Otherwise, I'm keeping the Z till I get a GT-R.

That was a fun ride! Now it's Dan's turn to give me one. Maybe we can take the Subie for a spin afterwards :bowrofl:

*enters b1ades' address into navi* :stirthepot:

Roger that. I think I may order the gt500s, and do another ninja install. I wonder if I'll lose my deposit if I get caught again:ugh2:


Also, I wonder how much a divorce costs?:icon17:

<---calls ford services to get turn-by-turn directions:icon17:

Are there no garages in the huntsville area you can rent?

Maybe rent a public storage garage for a month?

Insurance Rep: Please tell me what happened.
Me: I was leaving for school this morning and saw that my car was completely destroyed.
Insurance Rep: Any idea of who might have done this?
Me: Not sure, but it did smell like redneck afterwards.
Insurance Rep: That bastard struck again. Let me guess, you had a 370Z and now you're thinking about getting a 5.0?
Me: Yes, how did you know?
Insurance Rep: Fukin Steve, we're gonna catch him one of these days.

:bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl: :bowrofl:

:bowrofl:

Do the auto 5.0's come with paddle shifters?

haven't found a place yet. might ask around some

No, no paddle shifters or +/- with the auto. If you want to play manual transmission driver you need to buy an actual manual transmission. ;)

:iagree:

a real manual? why would you want that?

Lame. Minus points for the 5.0 now. :(

or you could go to a real car with a real transmission:icon23:

:iagree:

It's minus points for the b1ade.0
