bricooper78 · 02-13-2013, 08:17 PM

halfway, his side windows are up til the motors show up, i was just reminding him of that fact

myneedforspeed · 02-13-2013, 08:26 PM

I'm super jealous. But excited for you to be in such a sweet car!
Enjoy it.

tipnitty · 02-13-2013, 09:40 PM

Lol windows don't roll down and the t-top could come off. But I have a friend that has an rsx that wants to go for a cruise, this will be entertaining.

bricooper78 · 02-13-2013, 09:42 PM

Get it out on the highway, that's how i brought the camaro home. with the windows up all the way, at 70, the wind made this choppy sound, and i kept thinking an apache chopper was hovering atop me

Damn, thanks man! That is by far the greatest compliment I've gotten

. The car is just dripping sex I won't lie. I do intend on taking good care of her

AMRAAM4 · 02-15-2013, 01:14 AM

Do you like the power so far, is it crazy, raw torque with good pull?

now imagine that power, and think, you have 50% of the power level my Shelby has

Considering what I paid and what you paid, I'm happy. Plus I have to earn my stripes before I can buy a car like yours. That is just a just a mean machine!!

SC/T02 · 02-15-2013, 02:28 PM

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1998-1999-Ca...item4abec2aba5 Real good first step. Great price. New with belmish from SLP

tipnitty · 02-15-2013, 02:36 PM

Really? I've heard about the SLP lids but didn't know if they were worth it.

Posting these while I wait for my inspection to be done.

SC/T02 · 02-15-2013, 02:50 PM

330 horse at less than a 3500lb curb weight. The coupe GT500 rocks roughly 500 more lbs (662/631 makes for double the power, yet Ford has had a history of bad luck putting those numbers to good use on the road). 55/45 TA 57/43 GT weight distribution. Making them both fun and good for equaling out when you get into it. I like the fact that the TA in 6th will get 34mpg highway. Where the GT has a hard time getting 24mpg.

By far the Cobra is a superior car. But that should be said about the evolution of any sports car 15 years later. Show the stats of a 98 Cobra and a 98 WS6 and they are not even in the same ballpark. I love the cobra, but the F-body TA still does not look dated, which says a lot for the design.

All in all, like Sam said, fun per dollar he has you beat. Raw power, you have, but at a price. I could take s '95 Chevy Caviler and build it to more power than the GT500 for 1/2 the cost. Problem is, its still a Caviler. You have a nice GT, in hands down the best color. What I am getting at, is to each his own. I want to take my next 70's TA build and drop in the brand new DI LT1. Not too many people have my goal, but that is what makes it fun.

That, and the smooth bellows will totally add power. It is basically a CAI. Right now, 100% of the air has to run through 5 chambers, then a ton of ridges into the TB. Remove all of that turbulance and restriction and make a straight through air flow and you have just gained about 25 horses. LS1.com has a few flow charts somewhere, but on 8 test cars it shows 23-28HP gains. Reason most people go for that move first. Keeps the engine cooler and cleans up the look under the hood as well. Not to mention it saves about 4 lbs.

tipnitty · 02-15-2013, 03:35 PM

So, the guy pulls my car around and I get called to the counter. The guy take another car in the bay while I wait for another guy. He tells me my car failed safety due to one of my high beams is out. WELL PUT A NEW BULB IN!!!!! Well no I have to wait until tomorrow so I can get the car to pass. What an ass.

You are the man! I will definitely be picking one up.

SC/T02 · 02-15-2013, 04:02 PM

That does blow. It takes a real serious pr!ck not to pass it for that and make you come back. SLP claims that it is good for 12HP, good K&N or high flow filter for another 5hp according to them. and about 8 more or so from the smooth bellows. Hard to believe but it really has a new feel to the car.

tipnitty · 02-15-2013, 04:23 PM

It already has a K&N drop in that was just re oiled. So I'll put that on the list for sure.
