I can get behind this thought... I'm dealing with an exhaust install complicated by a previous owner welding slip-on adapters onto the pipes... Backwards... In the wrong place... Then forcing everything together causing stress cracks that split the mid-pipe (which is factually already being...
Well, mathematically, redlining the engine in 6th gear will always be the same RPM but result in less rotations of the rear wheels with higher ratios. It all depends on how high you could spin up the engine before it decides to become a weapon, but the math is the math.
Speeds are speeds. 60, 100, 120, or however many miles per hour the car is moving won't be any different due to gearing. The time it takes you to get to those speeds (depending on your shifting and how heavy your foot is) and the RPM the engine is spinning at (also depending on the gear your...
New to the GT/CS club here! Just got my '16 in Ruby Red last Monday to replace my zero options 300a '15 GT that got totalled in February.
I'm in the process of straightening a few things out with it, like the fact that one of the previous owners put Eibach Sportline springs in but kept the...
OK, so since my realization that Wolfman does indeed have nards and installing the replacement handles is probably a bigger pain in them than just replacing the whole shifter with a transmission mounted unit...
What's the consensus? Boomba replacement handle? MGW? Barton Hybrid 3? Steeda...
You know, I never saw this. This past year's been a bit nuts!
I was indeed happy with the exhaust, especially once it broke in. It sounded great and wasn't obnoxiously loud. Sadly, that car is no longer with us due to people not understanding that you don't just plow into the Mustang in front...
Bumping just in case somebody has one or knows where to get one!
I also have a 3D printer if somebody somehow has the dimensions or a 3D model of the mounting bracket.
OK... So, I've been watching a few videos on installations and I'm realizing something...
AND THIS IS TOTALLY ON ME!
All of the handle replacements (outside of the Boomba) seem to require getting under the car and disassembling everything anyway, huh? Lord, what a PITA!
So, for everybody...
Yeah, it's frustrating how often things "exist" on the Internet but don't become tangible until money has been spent. I'm an IT SysAdmin that used to work in the musical instrument sales industry and it's actually really frustrating how many things in both worlds are just not available in...
Hopefully this link works and brings you directly to the bracket.

I'm trying to think if there's even any cars & coffee events around me... I'm finding that living in Jersey within the shadow of NYC has become oddly devoid of certain things. Like Dr Pepper Cherry Zero is available in every major metro market but here. Pawn shops just aren't a thing, so I never...
OK, but what would you quantify as a difference that would make it worth it to me?
I mean, if somebody wants to be my sugardaddy/mama and have it installed for me, too, I'm game, but you're also talking like you believe my bank account has more zeros to the left of the decimal point, too. 😅...
I totally get that line of though, but it also works in the other direction of "Well, I spent all that money and get none of the benefits".
For a daily driver with a 12-minute work commute that goes to the store ocassionally, goes out with the wife every so often, and hits the highway every...
Yeah, that's all I'm looking for. I'm never going to do anything that's not on a road paved using taxpayer money, so I don't need race-level shifting capabilities. LOL
Did you need to get under the car for the Boomba? I ask because my neck is still messed up from the accident in February which...
EDIT: You should still read this but go to post #34 for updated thoughts on what this entails for me.
So, to be up front, I know the best options are those that mount to the transmission. However, those are significantly more expensive as well as likely majorly overkill since my daily speedster...
