My car sucks

BlackGT2000 · #1 08-09-2006, 05:16 PM

Today at work I got to do a short test drive in a friends 05 GTO 6 speed. Not only is the interior top notch but it feels as powerful as it should. I didn't want to drive my car home haha. Also another guy just got his monster camaro back from getting the engine worked (pushing 420 at the wheels) and it shreds the tires through 3rd gear. It really makes me want to speed up this process of shopping for another car. This sucks haha...

I have a 2000 Mustang GT Manual very lightly modded....nothing that can stack up against these other two beasts.

i'll trade my j30 for your mustang

BlackGT2000 · #8 08-09-2006, 10:42 PM

Haha I am not looking for a trade, this winter i think I will sell though. I am looking for a 99 vette. I think I ought to get a decent price for the mustang because its in good condition and its only got 61000 miles on it.

You can fix that for about $3,800: https://www.rpmoutlet.com/musv8ati.htm

Hey! I'd love to have a mustang GT. It's faster than anything that I drive. But I like to cruise more than I do speed.

Yeah, but then he'd have to pay for the installation fee. Those supercharger kits are not easy to install. Also he probably won't be running that much boost for that much money. He'd need an intercooler, and 9psi to really see serious gains.

Besides a vette will flat out stomp a stang, supercharged or not, cornering wise. I can't even remotely come close to touching one in the twisties.

Have you dynoed it yet? 4psi is just barely enough for the pulley. I'd imagine the extra 2 psi must only add up to maybe 40whp. I could be wrong though.

I thought installing a supercharger was pretty straight forward? The kit for his car would be the first kit listed it’s an 8 psi kit which includes an intercooler.

My bad, I should've read more thoroughly. Most s/c kits are w/o an s/c, and only have 6psi, which stinks IMHO. At 8psi he'd be making some serious power. I believe that would put him well beyond 300whp. Enough to hose down those pesky LS1's (Which are stock, but we all know 99% are not stock, so, gotta find that 1%).
