I've looked at used 15's too. I just want a base GT w/ an auto in Ingot, Magnetic, or Guard. Only cars used within a few hundred miles are black or red and all of them are $29,999. I'm not paying that much when I can get a new one for a few grand more.
Sales tax rates in Ohio vary in some counties compared to the state; Cuyahoga where I am at is 8%. I was more put off by the $999 freight, $599 processing, and $280 tag charges. I feel like it’s false advertising to show the low prices and tack on these costs, but it’s why most dealers are...
I e-mailed them, Koon's, about a 2016 GT Auto they advertised for a low WOW price of $28,250 with a $750 rebate. It's all teaser prices.
When I asked for an OTD price (I'm in Ohio) they added on $900 for freight, $599 for processing fee (lol), $2500 Ohio tax, and $280 for tags (another rip...
When I started looking in Fall last year they had the 0%/72 about a month before and ending on Labor Day.
I unfortunately couldn't find anything I wanted on the lots within a few hundred miles as most were sold out of current year inventory and they were trying to get rid of the rest.
I'm...
I'll take the "slow" street driven low 10 car everyday of the week over an expensive track only machine; unless drag racing was the only thing I think about and I had a lot of disposable income.
Congrats on doing more with less. :D
I concur with this; you DON'T want to run a supercharger if the car is going to be driven in any snowy/slushy weather. You can get away with it in the warmer climate states but not in your neck of the woods.
I had a 92 5.0 w/ a centrifugal supercharger on it when I was a lot younger and it was...
I would assume if he/she is asking about taking it in for those things they didn't install the supercharger themselves.
If you are physically capable I would get oil/filter and watch some youtube vids. on how to do it. You can get a decent jack and stands for about $100 that will last you a...
That is interesting but I'd hate to think the aftermarket is selling us two parts (OPG/TG) and an involved install when a cheaper/simpler to install solution would do the same thing for longevity.
I'd like to hear more testimony as this seems to be newer tech. information.
With traction I bet it's around the mid to upper 3's. Tough to measure as mentioned above as the Track Apps aren't accurate and not many people are going to shell out for a GPS performance meter.
The Roush kits were never $5000; maybe close during a x-mas sale for a tuner only kit. The only...
That's a great dyno for a Phase 1. Usually you hear Roush people going to the Phase 2 right away or a custom tune to pick up more power due to a disappointing Phase 1. You seem to not have that problem.
Any future 1/4 miles tests or is this strictly a street car?
Nice runs; 9 second potential from a mild supercharged kit is awesome.
Do you have any dyno results when you were running the basic pulley and 93 octane? Just curious how it would compare to where you are at now; though the ET's are more important to me.
Nice to see the compilation of runs; once you get those 60' times down you should be in the low 12's as is. Not counting any redlighting! :D
A couple quick questions:
1) Why does end of the video show a tune by you on 89 octane instead of a stock tune listed in the first post?
2) Did you run...
I agree; the performance figures on any of the factory performance displays are suspect at best. I bet they are ± 20% accuracy.
If you want better accuracy you probably want some type of GPS calculated metering; I think the factory #'s only use PCM data.
Why is the MPH in your second post only 117-118 vs. 125 in the first post?
I would think with the the Whipple you should be in the mid 120's regardless of traction unless you are letting off before the stripe.
Hopefully you get it sorted out soon. 30 days at the installer sounds crazy. Unfortunately, with the warranty, many places will put you on the back burner as they already have your money and any warranty work is not going to be a priority to them as there is no profit in it. Be diligent with...
They have their work cut out for them considering how many good PD blowers are available for the 2015 and proven already.
If they don't come in with a price closer to the centrifugal blowers I can't see them taking much of the market away from the other companies.
