Default Im serious i need to talk about my mustang....

hey guys,

well as some of u know i recently got a sonic blue 05 GT and i have posted pics of it,I finished breaking in the motor 2 weeks ago and i liked the power but today i was stopped by a traffic light and a mercedes 55 (i dont know if e or these stuff ) was near me he wanted to race me so when the light went green we were together and suddenly he was infront of me i was shocked i dont know that cars power but hell it was fast i kinda hated myself because i lost i hate losing....anyway i wanted to know many things about my car and i know u guys will help me,

when answering my questions please write the questions number and the answere so that i can know...

1) is my mustang faster than the lumina ss and the z350 ? (stock vs stock vs stock )
2) my car understeers when fetting in highspeed turns is that normal ?
3) when in reverse and throttling and then braking i hear a sound from the front tires so is it normal ?
4) when i try to pull the E-brake or as known as the hand-brakes while car is moving the tires wont lock the car would just understeer samething when i turn off the traction...why is that ?
5) i want my mustang GT to go faster what would be a good part to begin with ? i need to feel the true american power behind my cars wheels..

last question
6) if i equipped like super chips,pullies,intake and filter would that give me a huge diffrence in power ? and would there be any effect on my motors health or gears in the future because i dont want to sell my mustang i want to keep it forever... (( inshallah ))

thanks for your support,

ur friend saud alzaabi,

Why would you post a question about the GT in the V6 section?

Start with a tuner either SCT Xcal2 or Diablo Predator, they will free up some power and eliminate throttle lag. You can also get a CAI (Cold Air Intake) with a tuner as a package that should add a noticable gain.

the diablo tuner is great but dosn't do anythign for the throttle timing.. it still has the 2sec delay.. the ebrake pulling is f*stupid and the car has so many limiters that it wont let you do that anyway.. I noticed a huge diff when i got my diablo tuner.. i raced a 350z and it is in a totoally diff class.. it will beat the hell out ofyou everytime just b/c its lots lighter and has a totally diff gearing and also its a 6speed most of them. i got killd by the 350z.. as for the understeering.. iv had no problems with my contoll and stuff..

uh, yeah... depending on the model the 55's run between 360-490 hp... I think the S55 is the supercharged V8 with 490hp... not exactly a good race for you...

You got killed by a 350 Z ? The 350 Z I went up against I beat by a good margin. Even the magazines rate the Z slower.
