I know it's a bad idea, and I would happily walk headfirst into it knowing how much misery it would bring. The practical side of my head that reads and retains poo poo knows it's a terrible idea. The eternal child on the other half would be giving it indian burns until it let me buy it.

Just get this one: http://bringatrailer.com/2010/10/16/bat-exclusive-lt1-powered-euro-1986-porsche-928 In Mustang news, there doesn't seem to be a deal on a really cheap Mustang around here.

The 5.0 Mustang King of the Street competition is a competition for street cars making serious power. They are judged on appearance, drivability, dyno numbers, and quarter mile times, with extra weight given to the drivability and dyno number categories. Here's a little video of the dyno portion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAFXrVumCkE&hd=1

Car has been running like crap for the past 2 days and my mileage has been poo poo, finally threw a code. I never disabled my rear O2s after the Xpipe install  disabled that and adjusted a few other little poo poo (traction control? pffft) and now it runs amazing and sounds orgasmic when I get on it

I think I need to look into a new career as a wall street executive or drug dealer so I can afford to push that much boost through a brand new car and not care about the consequences. I love my mustang but if I blow it up I'm going to be pissed. Is there a full build list of what's done to that evolution car? At what point did those new rods go in because I thought originally they were running a mostly stock internals and just pushing some reasonable level of boost. kronix fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Oct 21, 2010 |

They like being all secretive and poo poo because they have a deal with 5.0 Mustang that lets them be the first one to talk about the car's details. I love waiting months for a dieing publishing medium to tell me about the latest goings on in my hobby instead of getting it directly from the horse's mouth the instant it happens. Enough ranting. Evo doesn't actually post what they've done because of the above. The closest we've gotten to a detailed mod list so far is: quote:Mod List

wodin posted:My 2006 has a few creaks and rattles on colder days and if I crank the bass on the stereo I can find one or two more, but all in all I have no complaints. The vast majority of the time it's better than most economy sedans I've driven by a fair margin. It's certainly not a BMW or Mercedes in terms of cabin silence though, and I'd be sorta sad if it was. So, to update this with sad news since I apparently jinxed myself horrifically - my transmission decided to eat itself. It ended up with a blown servo bore in the transmission, needing either a replacement of the solenoid body and servo bore, or just straight up replacing the whole transmission. On top of that, apparently the guy I bought the car from never sent in the paperwork to transfer the powertrain warranty, so I'm eating a decent chunk of change to fix it.  Nothing I can't handle, but definitely makes me more than a little sad since it had been so reliable up till now.

It's fun chirping the tires just easing away from a light.  FWIW, you can have them set it for whatever shift firmness you want. Their website is kind of out of date as you can tell. One section tells you the transmission can handle 850hp and the price page tells you their generic 450hp rating. Still, $3k for an 850hp capable transmission from a reputable company is pretty decent.

Yeah, it's a pretty good deal considering the price, I thought the same thing. TCI trannies have always been good to me. After 20 years spent replacing spider gears, the constant BANG of a really hard-shifting automatic makes me inwardly cringe.

It's a daily driver and my personal mechanical ineptitude is going to keep me from really taking advantage of the truly awesome features. Plus the Orange County police take a really dim view of rapid acceleration to the speed limit even if you don't exceed it. I'm a complete idiot about customer service but I figured it might be worth talking to Ford to see if I could get the snafu with the drivetrain warranty straightened out - is talking to (http://www.ford.com/owner-services/customer-support/contact-ford) going to piss off my dealer? My plan was to go in tomorrow morning, get the written estimate for replacement + their best guess as to what happened and see if they'd be willing to honor the warranty (which is apparently not in my name but I understood to have transferred when I purchased the car), and then chat with the Ford customer support people if not. Edit: thank you for pointing out the aftermarket transmission though - it actually gives me a really good excuse to not immediately pull the trigger on getting it replaced. wodin fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Oct 26, 2010 |

No it will not upset them. Either the dealership or FMC should be able to transfer the remaining ESP into your name. The transfer fee is ~$75.

They make really nice parts and I'm happy to see them bring their talents to the Mustang. The Buschur Racing "Bad Bish" Evo 8 is a beast of a street car. Runs low 9s at over 150mph with a full interior, AC, OEM glass, etc... It's his daily driver. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efAOLl-MIWA oRenj9 posted:They made parts for the last-generation Mustang as well.

I know David bought a 2008 Shelby and made a few parts for it when he couldn't find what he wanted in the aftermarket. He said he's going to offer a full line of stuff for the new 5.0, including a turbo kit.

Its a hell of a build. If they can put that tuning and engineering skill into the 5.0 it should be pretty impressive.

I just checked one of the UK importers' sites, and thanks to the pound strengthening against the dollar I found I could have a GT Premium imported and on the road (including all taxes and SVA work) for £32,000. Except that right now, I'm buying a house and don't have 32 grand to spare any more. Dammit. Just for comparison, £32k would get the absolute cheapest possible 5-Series diesel, a Focus RS, the bottom end of the Audi TT range, and be slightly short of the base Boxster. None of which I would particularly want. Okay, so maybe I don't actually need a bigger house...

After the wife and I rented one on a recent trip to Cape Cod, I fell in love with the 2011 Mustang. It's crazy because I've never had any passion at all for American pony cars. I thought I'd be a WRX guy for life. After that rental, I'm absolutely shocked at what an incredible car the 2011 Mustang is. I'm headed to the dealership today to test drive a convertible V6 and a standard GT, both with a manual. Unfortunately, my budget won't allow me to get a GT convertible. I'm so torn on which to get. We'll see how much I like the GT.
