Lol, so 2006's run 13.1-.2 in the QM now [8D]

No, The computer change was in the 07's.
no, i was thinking more like 13.8 for the 05 and 13.4-5 for the 06. i've heard people talk about 2 different types of tires on the s197. i guess that might make a difference.

anyone seen a difference in the tune between the 06 and the 07 since they, according to KTownGT, changed it in 07?

what do you base this on? Also are the 05 & 06 Faster than the 07s' because of the 3:55 gears. Not top end but bottom in.

seems like in general, the 06 gt's are about 3/10ths quicker than the 05 gt's. anyone else noticed this, or am i crazy??
wait, what?... the 05-06 come with 3:55 gears and the 07's don't?

Its a dealer add on now, its like ~55 bucks now for 3.55's. 3.3's are stock now.

Na, There are 05's in the mid-low 13's range.

3.31's make your car slower in the 1/4. I think mustang should have a 4.10 option instead of the 3.31's.

That's what I thought. 4RWHP wouldn't do much if anything to 1/4 times.
naa, the 4 extra HP comes from the stickers you can put on[sm=icon_rofl.gif]

I've owned both an '05 and '06 GT and other than going to the track and race them side by side, I can't tell the difference other than the Pirelli's on the '05 will not hook up as readily as the BFGs on my '06. Feel alike to me. Although it was much more fun to be able to spin the Pirelli's at will easier

I had that crap in my 05. My car was made in September of 2004. That's what slowed us down, I believe. When my friend at work got his 06, I remember driving it to compare and It felt the same except the clutch was easier and you could run through the gears more smoothly. That's what I noticed right away.
