The gt350r will have 600 of torque and 355 wide tires in the back.
I think it will hook well. More reason for...
I think it will be a little lighter. but we will see, you may be right.
Weight transfer is only useful if you have a traction problem. Transferring the weight to the rear puts more pressure on the tire resulting in more grip. A stiffer set up is more beneficial if you have enough grip because...
I was just thinking about the Boss. One magazine got a 12.1 hero run out of it but I think it's safe to say it's easily a 12.5 car. So add 100 hp, lighter weight, flat plane crank has a wider and flatter torque curve, 315 wide tires. Yes, I'll stick with 11.5 and wouldn't be at all surprised if...
From what I've read, the Mustang dyno tests in a "loaded" situation. Where there is resistance on the wheels like you would have going down the road hwere as the Dynojet tests in a way that is more like the wheels being free in the air with little or no resistance.
Some tuners prefer the...
I don't see anything unprofessional about it. If he base lined on 87 then it is what it is. He should be forthright and honest, baseline 87 then tune on 93.
Yes, all the reviews talk about how great it drives on the street which is where 99% will drive it 99% of the time.
IMO the PP is just has a little more focus on performance at a very slight expense to ride. Nothing like the all out track package that is the 1le.
Wish they would make a...
Awesome car Mangrove!
I love those wheels. I think I would need a set of the black and a set of those and swap them back and forth from time to time.
Try to get some pics a little further away showing how the wheels look on the car especial a front back side angle.
To me, the 1LE is a streetable track car and the PP Mustang is a trackable street car.
1LE wins on the track, Mustang wins on the street.
Just depends on what you want. Myself, I would never buy a 1LE unless I were going to park it up and track it occasionally and drive it on the street...
Great paint on the pics posted by Haz93!
Great improvement, I hope all the paint is that quality. There is just a little orange peel behind the hood scoop, but otherwise it looks as if it were color sanded and buffed.
I went to buy a new 85 GT but when I got to the dealer, they were out. The salesman wanted me to try out the SVO they had on the lot so I said why not. I was a young kid at the time. I drove out to the street, turned right and floored it in front of the ford dealership. It completely took me by...
Nice gallery,
Let me ask you this: I read that the Mercedes 2.0 turbo makes an awesome 350 hp. One magazine said a lot of it was due to the very large intercooler. I do think it also makes a lot higher boost than the EB engine so I don't really know if one is more responsible for the power...
Maybe it depends on the area, but not around here, I don't know anyone who road races but I know a lot of people who go to the drag strip occasionally.
Also, in the stores around here they sell 5.0 magazine and MM&FF which are geared primarily toward drag racing. We don't have any Mustang...
I know one magazine got a 3.9 0-60 time in the Boss, so with better weight distribution and wider tires (assuming they use the same compound) it should definitely put more torque down and go faster. 3.5 0-60?
