Tom, no recalibration needed for speedo or other computers going from 19s to 20s?

And this right here is the reason I’m always able to resist the temptation to sell one of mine and get a nice old Goat or Z-28 just for the sake of nostalgia. The DH is just too good, and requires little more than the push of a button and you’re enjoying a great car which as you say exceeds...

Me either Paul. I see it as pretty simple: you put your foot into it, you feel what it’s got. I truly cannot fathom why that’s even a topic to think about, much less discuss.

Exactly my point. Yeah, those old 2GC/2Gs honking WFO on a good tri-power Goat honestly sounded like they could suck medium-sized birds out of the sky. Those who were there first hand will never forget that sound!

Hardly whining. I’m just pointing out that helping someone out with a problem that is not really a problem to start with is not exactly getting us closer to world peace. Kinda makes one wonder how we ever drove big engine high horsepower cars without computer controls doing our jobs for us. And...

Once again, I’m sorry but I gotta say you guys whining about throttle response, linear or non-linear response, sluggish in whatever mode, pedal commanders and so on ad nauseam really crack me up. Whatever happened to just giving it the beans for goodness sake? I’ll 100% guarantee you that if you...

Yep, I’d bet this right here is pretty close. Think about it: I have no clue what they’re going for today but just a few months ago delivery mile 2022 GT500s weren’t uncommon to see in the 140-145K range. Anyone wanting an expensive piece of garage art that cannot be driven without losing their...

Gotta say I found that really surprising myself. How could FA do something like that?

I’m sure you were aware of everything you mention before you bought the car, so perhaps a different car would have served you better. But hindsight is always 20/20 so that ship has sailed. And none of us know, maybe your circumstances have changed since then. Having said that and speaking for...

Except it isn’t a GT500, not by any stretch. It is in fact just a GT with some stuff bolted on that potentially raises a whole ‘nother set of issues. I’d like to be within earshot three years down the road when the owner is attempting to trade it in and explains to the dealership’s appraiser...

You know, for you guitar guys, this reminds me a little bit of amplifier reviews and comparisons. Invariably A-B-C comparisons are done with supposedly “stock” amps but when you read the fine print you discover that “stock” means oh yeah, except for the four pedals that are plugged into one...

This right here, exactly. I‘ll stipulate to not parsing this whole thread because I thought the conclusion was pretty self-evident before the question was even asked. But having said that, why would any prospective buyer remotely care about how the seller paid for the car, ie, cash, loan...

OP I don’t know what your experience level is with a manual transmission but all manual cars are different, often even the exact same setup in two different cars. To complicate things even more, the Tremec requires very positive and firm input in my experience with several Mustangs so equipped...

Depending on actual touchdown date you may wind up with one of the first 2025 Dark Horse HP cars delivered. I haven’t heard of a single one spotted on the streets yet and given how early they seem to shut down a current year’s production I was starting to wonder if any 2025 HP cars would even be...

I don’t believe so.

There was some fine entertainment back in those days. And free, save the small expense of a set of rabbit ears or a cheap antenna in some cases.

This would have been my first concern. Modern cars are increasingly designed to be driven as-built only, and it seems to get worse every year. I know nobody wants to hear that but it’s an unfortunate reality. I recently took my wife’s ‘24 Subie in for a slow leak in one tire. She had picked up a...

Well. You know what Stangmode has to say about it. Start around 5:50 if you’re interested.

Just to confuse things a little, had you thought about bronze? Here’s one of mine with bronze wheels and I thought it looked pretty good. Granted, this car is black but you can kinda get the idea.

That being the case I’m going along with the previous poster. I think satin black would really look great.
