Hey guys, finally got to take the car out today and really give her the first test drive. The car sounds INSANE, and the power is just unreal, I've never experienced anything like that. The only thing that i can't figure out is, there seems to be a sort of "clunking" sound when turning hard to the left or right, does anyone have any idea what it could be? it feels to be in the back of the vehicle, I'm sure it has something to do with my suspension. Could it be normal? Thanks guys

Wow....some people have all the luck. I'd say you stumbled upon a very deluxe car with some schweeeet "options". Congrats.

hmmm...From what I understand yes it possibly could. What kind of exhaust do you have? What kind of intake system do you have? ( i assume your using kenne bells system so thats probably a dumb point) I am running a full Mac exhaust OR H pipe as well, however of course that is not going to give me an extra 50rwhp over you...Maybe your car is tuned extremely rich compared to mine? I am not using the stock kenne bell tune I am pretty sure. I am taking my car to VMP tuning here in FL next week so i will have a few more answers for you.

All I have are the loud mouths ( so no mufflers) yeah the same intake as you.
I think the H pipe plus a good tune could do it, I'm just using kenne bells tune and from what i hear its not the best there is. but yeah let me know what you find out

When my 05 gt made the same noise I took it in to the dealership and there was a tsb for the upper strut bearing. My car was 1 month old at the time. Hope this helps

Got it.

VMP tuning will sort the car out for you.
Good luck.
