Default 05+ GT

Decided to take the stang out today. Haven't driven it in so long the SOB didn't wanna start. So after jumping it off I head outside the Fort mainly to get her up to a good speed to try and charge the battery. I get to a light and this guy pulls up in a 05 + GT. Must say it was nice. Blue with some nice rims. He rolls his window down and ask me what's under the hood. Couldn't lie cause the V1 was humming pretty good. I told him a S/C and he said he had just got his Bama tune and also installed some 410's. Wellllllllllll light turns green in this guy takes off. I procceded to give chase. I quickly pull beside him and continue to pull. He gave me thumbs up and quickly merged onto the interstate. I would have followed but I was low as he** on gas. See below. I love the V-1 (THXS Kerns) but that SOB is loud. Also excuse the guages. When I nstalled those I never got a chance to reset them. Yeah I'm lazy!!

Once we left off I was maybe 1 1/2 cars ahead. We let off right at around 90 or so. I did have to catch up because I had no clue this guy wanted to run. It has taken me 6 mths to get use to the S/C and 410's and I am no way near a master but man I've gotten alot better.

Good run, Soldier! Personally, I love the whistle, but it does kind of give it away.

Ready to see some track times out of that thing.

That's what I was thinking. Track times should be similar to Kerns.

I was man but money got kinda low. I'm going to school next week ( Fort Lee VA) so had to set aside some money for that. I'll be gone for 30 + days.. Once I get back I will be getting it redynoed and finally fixinig my idle probelm (hopefully). Just so you all Know, if Kerns was to run for president he would most def have my vote. He persuaded me into going with the 1500 dollar S/C build and eventhough I've had some issues I am very happy with the setup. Once again all kudos to Kerns!!

I was looking into that when I had mine. Though I traded it for a SS/SC..bad decision..
