Thanks for all the help Im gonna get a tuner from brennspeed but should I wait to tune after I do the exhaust and the cold air intake.

07AlloyGT

Where exactly did you test drive a 6 speed Mustang GT? The only Mustang that is a 6 speed is the GT500. And if youre test driving all these high end cars that cost much more than a Mustang GT, youd think you could afford 300 bucks to buy a tuner and change the throttle response a bit. And some of those cars dont have throttle by wire so no doubt they have faster throttle response, its all mechanical.

Keep in mind when youre looking at cars that the Mustang isnt made strictly for a performance enthusiast like those other cars are. Mustangs are made to appeal to a wide audience of people, while providing the performance minded with a nice platform to build on.

If modding a car isnt your thing and youre looking for out of the factory performance then the Mustang probably isnt for you. But if youre looking for a good platform to build a nice, fast car that can rip holes through most anything else on the street, then get a Stang. Surprisingly, not alot of people like to walk up to a dealer, hand over a check and walk out with their "hot rod"; alot of us actually like the "building" and "evolving" of our cars much more than just saying that they have a fast car. Any rich fob can walk up and buy a stock vette with 500 hp, but its alot more enjoyable (to most) to actually take the time to build and personalize their machine.


And to GTJUNKIE, a tuner will fix it right up. Like others said, there are a few forum sponsors that can hook you up nicely. Some have package deals where you can get a CAI+tuner, but most sell them seperately as well. I chose Brenspeed and got the C&L + SCT and couldnt be happier. If you plan on getting a CAI soon, just wait it out and get the package deal. It wont hurt you to get the tuner now, and then CAI later, just probably cost a bit more.

he just means manual. most people are used to saying "6-speed" when referring to manual.


yea im shocked that ford would have the ***** to sell a car like this. its terrible. my CAI/tune comes in tommorow and i hope to god it fixes it. if it doesn't, im selling the car..........tommorow. trading it in to carmax for a black Mach1. the car is no fun, and even difficult to drive with the stock throttle response. try this: accelerate normally into first, shift into second at 3.5, then roll onto the throttle quickly. waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, 5.5K......almost to full throttle............and its time to shift.

went i first got the car, i was showing it off to some friends, so im like "its really got a lot of power" and i floor it in 1st after letting the clutch out all the way at about 10 mph. the car lagged so bad. they're like "ummmm.......its really slow."


sure, u can trick it into going WOT sometimes, but whats the fun in that?

for me, the essence of a musclecar is the throttle response, the torque, the press you back in your seat feel, and the noise. i've been horribly let down by one of those things.

save your money. someone here said that tune doesn't change the throttle lag.

07AlloyGT

LOL! AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

if you don't know then don't contribute. i have the tune and throttle lag is gone.
