hey people with mustangs

[SVTCOBRA]

Jeff, you ever come up against one of those viper trucks?I sat in one at the dealership when they first hit the lot, but they wouldn't let me test drive it...

[goneracin]

+1 on the G. Think about an auto. With the manual mode, you are closer to a MT than you think. There are more auto cars out there too= better selection!

[rn79870]

The factory parts will handle up to 330 RWHP... after that you'll be fine up to 370 rwhp if you don't do demand downshifts into 2nd gear. Basically if you want to down shift move the shift lever on the column.

Check out this thread by Jesda in gen chat. Read the article linked on the 1st. post.zerothread/316373

They test the new Pontiac G8 against some 425HP SRT/8 Dodge. The times they report are not that different than a 07+ G35.

I beat one with my Hemi Ram on the street. I lost to them a few times at the track.

A 4 door SRT ram runs a 13.7-14.0 at 100-103 mph, just like a 07 G35 sedan A 4 door Hemi ram runs a 15.9-16.2 at 80-82 mph.

MY 4 door Hemi ram was running 14.0's at 98-99 mph when it started breaking.

AT THE TRACK my G35 runs a 14.0 to a SRT 8 cars 13.6.

Too bad you didn't have a Shelby...

Any of you guys drove the Grand Cherokee SRT-8?

It is fast as hell. Sounds good too. On gas it is horrible but hey can't get everything.

[SVTCOBRA]

As a matter of fact, I got behind one yesterday. Rolled the windows down to take a listen....."rolled the windows down"....Reminds me of when I was looking for cars for my daughter. Found her a year old base Sentra with crank-em-up windows. She got in the car, looked at the window handle and said "what's this for" .....

Sorry, lost focus. It sounded good!

[Logan76]

the SRT-8 charger didnt impress me as much as 425 projected HP should've.

[mycoupe8urs]

I was thinking about getting a mustang too before the G. Me personally..... i would stay with the G because how many 16 year olds can say they have a G35? As opposed to all the kids out here just getting there licenses and want to get a mustang.

[zozoka1212]

Mustangs c'mon stay with the G.

The problem is weight, my buddy here in Phoenix has a SRT-8 Charger that runs 12's year round. Even been in the 11's a few times.

The 370 cu motor is bored and stroked to 426 cu. It has a 75 hp shot of nitrous for just in case. Dual throttle bodies... ect and is a daily driver.

Last time I was at the track I did a ride along with him and shot some video.

Here is his Silver Charger vs a supercharged SRT-8 300. His charger runs a 12.57 the 300 runs a 12.90. Correction factor that night was .968, so in perfect weather the 12.57 is a 12.16. Thats on street tires not drag radials.

[rn79870]

Jeff, did someone tell the driver not to go faster than 14.5? At a race track?

Nice run.

[gwoods]

Yeah with me in the front seat he is only allowed to go 14.0. The spotter said 14.0 twice and then said 14.5 the final time.... I think that was a 14.2 run

heres the video of the supercharged black 300 vs the 426 charger

[telcoman]

Don't hold back now, tell us how you really feel! Everytime you post about Fords, I think of my 84 Daytona Turbo Crapo

BTW, Nissan is recalling possibly 23K 06 coupes

Looks like they are recalling a few 08 EX's due to airbags too.....

Last edit...Reminds me. I bought my 69 Mach in 1978.The driver's seat was kind of broken on the right side where the seat back was connected to the seat. I finally got a recall in 1979 for the seat back. They fixed it! Evidently, numerous other folks had their seat backs recline unexpectedly while driving down the road. Surprisingly, this caused a few wrecks. Only took Furd 9 years to figure this out I suppose.

[rn79870]

Yeah, here is a couple of examples of people paying to have their Fords taken off their hands.

• 1963 1/2 Ford Galaxie 2-dr Fbk, factory lightweight, radial/heater delete, 2x4V, 4-Spd ...Sold for $49,000

• 1965 Ford Mustang 2-dr Conv, 289-cid, 4-Spd, Rallye Pak ...Sold for $33,000

• 1970 Ford Torino Cobra 2-dr hardtop, Super Cobra Jet 429-cid, 4-spd w/Drag Pak, Magnum 500 whls. ...Sold for $44,000

• 1958 Ford. POS. Doesn't run. Rusted out. Dented. Highly collectable 352 engine. Broken glass. ...Sold for $294,000

I was looking at a shell of a 70 cobra torino w/429 on ebay that they still wanted thousands for! Love those shakers!

Ford spokesman Wesley Sherwood says internal testing showed the air bag could injure a small, unbelted passenger.

I guess there are still people out there who just refuse to follow a few simple rules. Buckle up people. Put your kids in car seats.

First, as a owner of a 06 Mustang GT and a 05 G35 coupe, both are great cars.

GT: Fun to drive, easy to mod, cheap to mod, Looks killer for those liking muscle looks, tons of parts and cheaper to buy new.

G: Sleeker looking, more refined interior and girls love them. (i get more compliments from guys on my mustang than girls)

I drive my mustang, bought the g35 for my wife

ps. dont my the chevy pos. The transmission is horrible, the rear end is junk. Yes it has a nice motor, but as soon as you mod it, you better replace the transmission and rear end = $$$$

me, i love the stang. I wouldnt trade it for the wifes g35, but thats just me. I love muscle cars. That doesnt mean the g35 is crap because we all know its one hell of a car. If they never came out with the retro style stang, i would be owning a TT g35 for myself.

Here is my stang: Has a hellion turbo kit, full suspension and the body (which you can see).

I'll bet that was my old Ford? Mine wouldn't run either whenever it rained.It also had a 352 cu police intercepter engine. The AM radio worked

[rn79870]

Great idea. We'll need to have some $$$ to start it up. Maybe a garage sale. I hear you've got a few parts you're not using...

[SVTCOBRA]

And, no thanks, I'll stay with my nico brothers!!!

[Forge]

G35 had a tire pressure light that wouldnt go off - reset the sensorcheck engine light kept coming on and off at random times - reset ecuStock cd player wouldnt read any discs - replaceddriver and passenger seat warmers dont work - trying to get them to fix this still.
