Are those HID fog lights from the GT 500? Part #'s? Price?

be sure to get a tune. You need it to correct the speedo and odometer readings. Going from 2.73 to 3.73 is like changing this stang from a cruiser to a street racer. Huge difference. Next week I will be getting my CAI put in. Then will soon take it to the track to get a 1/4 mile time. I think it will be under 14. The car is more responsive off the line and as soon as the rpms get to 3500 it seems like it kicks in after burners.

this is how the car should be.
and i still am getting right now 27 to 28 highway. hope the CAI will make it 29. I really am serious this car is fast.

I think the car is a blast. I am hoping the C&L CAI comes next Monday or Tuesday. Then will install it. Would like to take it to the track in two weeks to see what it will do 1/4 in. That would be fun just to do.

Ordered gears for mine today. Chose 3.55`s instead of 3.73`s but there is actually little difference especially when starting with 2.73`s. I`ll probably get them installed next week. I would like to get a test & tune at Martin before it gets put away this year but we`ll see.
