no throttle lag, no tune
i bought my 2006 mustang gt in july 2006, and it was manufactured in june 2006. it is still bone stock, and i don't feel any throttle lag at all. i hit the gas and the car flies. if i'm super low in the rpm range (1-2k rpms), the car kinda bogs, but if im at 3500 rpm in 1st gear, and floor it, my car takes off. that's why i don't understand what all of this throttle lag is. granted i also have a manual, but still...if this is throttle lag, then damn, i can't wait to get a tuner....

RE: no throttle lag, no tune
Yeah that's what I said until I got the CAI and tune
, after I got it I could DEFINITELY tell the difference. Its immediate and powerful. When you go CAI and tune, I say go Brenspeed you wont be disappointed[8D]

RE: no throttle lag, no tune
I don't think you notice it as much with the manual trans cars. But, yes, after the tune you notice the lack thereof!
(And imyy4u, no way is a "bone stock" GT manual pulling 300 HP. 265 HP at the wheels is about right. Def get a CAI / Tune and you'll be pulling closer to the magic 300. It's night and day).

[Cold weather really helps out the throttle lag for stock cars.

I could read a novel by the time my car kicks into passing gear.

You got an Auto I take? You could always manually shift 1,2,3 [8D] 3rd maxes out at like 90, you don't need to go faster than that [8D]
Get a tuner and you can change where your car shifts and the shift pressure or w/e its called.
