Howdy all. New to this board so hey. First off let me say that untill 2 months ago I've always been a camaro man. My first car was a 79 z28 my grandmother modded and gave to me on my 16th. (Not a good first car to have at 16) Anyway my wife had been driving a sunfire and me a piece of crap truck for the past 3 years then my truck died and I found my self talking to a car salesman. I happened upon a 2003 mustang GT with only 4k miles manual transmision, cobra R rims and flowmasters (i think) exauhst for only 9k dollars. hesitent at first insisting I "HATED" mustangs the salesman talked me into a test drive and the next thing i knew i was drewling and signing away. well since i baught a new vehical it was only fair to let my wife buy one too. I thought she would be comming home with a small ecconomy car (she had talked like she wanted a hybrid soooo much . . . well she comes home with a 2004 pontiac GTO. NOT FAIR *&%$$ i spend 9k and she spends 36k and ends up with a chevy LT1 engine in a suprisingly light body popping out 380Hp STOCK. No big deal. I go with my friend who rebuilds old crappy looking imports and races them (definatly not a cosmetic racer but a pure power racer) anyway i go with him to firebird raceway (I dont streetrace nor condone it) to see if my stang can stand a chance against his car+13k in mods. well i get there and do i get to race my friend NO I get to race my lovely but suddenly cocky wife and i get smoked. Anyway I need to find a way to get my Hp better than hers for 25k (we made a deal that i get to match the cost of her car but no more. Not all at once i might add i dont have 25k in pocket but ab out 500 per month set aside for car fun. My first i was thinking. . . is there a kit i can get that turns that hood scoop from a decoration to practical. . . I hate how useles that thing is and know there is a way to ram air that thing. i did searches but so far found nothing. the next is definatly im thinking is tranny mods. . . now i am a truck driver so i spend most of my time in high torque 15 speed peterbuilts so i tend to be a lil hard on my tranny when racing what do you guys and gals think ive never done work on vehicals but am excited to do so . . . PS i want to keep it all street legal and NOS FREE and definately no high piched zzzzZZZZZZZ wind up toy sound
