sweet, but compared to the original it's crap.

 

[jnevin]

I'm not much for anything American other than trucks, but that looks pretty sweet.

 

[Mr. dB]

No IRS? Damn.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

I want one!

 

[manny78]

Not that bad.

 

[chewyxrage]

Sexy

 

[bran987]

I like it!

 

[Delinquent]

No IRS? Damn.

Yea there is a huge argument over that over at www.themustangsource.com . The reason Carol Shelby gave was that they didn't want to tack on another $5000 for the IRS. But from what a lot of people are saying, the SRA in the 05's is very very tight.

my C6 Z06 will eat it

damn nigga what are you running 1/4?

id let to see dyno fig's on your zo6


new vettes look badass but cant compare it to stang. a stang is a muscle car while a zo6 is a sports car.. there is a difference...

on the new stang......ummm i like the last generations better for as of looks...

the GT front looks better then cobra.

tiager i havent had it out for th 1/4 yet. its done to the nuts. cost me an arm and a leg. when i trade it off for my new i will be losing quite a bit of HP but 500hp stock on the new one will be good enough

 

[manny78]

But now that I think about it, you could just buy a regular Mustang GT, add a supercharger with a Brembo Gran Turismo brake set and there you go...

exactly i would like to see what the new Z06 vette would put out with a supercharger

 

[DocHoliday]

sweet as a bioth...I will have to get one :wink

thats why i was dissapointed with the 03 -04 cobras...superchargers.. i like the feeling of naturally breathing engine over being blown..... when are cubic inch wars gonna come back

no replacement for displacement

ah that's right, I forgot your vette was modded out. The new Z06's are fucking nice. I've talked to a few people and we all seem to agree that the vette needs a drastic makeover like the Stang has done. Do you agree with that? It seems they really haven't done any major body changes in a long time

 

[pitbullstl]

agreed belly button car

I see 56 Vettes everyday.

I get my 04' SRT10 back from Hennessy next month.....you get your Z06 in July.......I smell a challenge.

When the EPA takes a long nap.....until then, it's all about squeezing as much out of as little as possible.

 

[Whiskey]

sorry, but i'd rather have the new vette. Just a chevy guy though. I will admit I liket the direction ford took the 'stang though

[Phaded]

i'd rather have a benz..

i totally agree. the C5 i thought were a drastic change also from the previous vette though. C6 is def the best yet.

 

[Mr. dB]

I see 56 Vettes everyday.

Wow, I haven't seen a '56 Vette in ages.

 

[from zero]

Ugly.


Also? I had the biggest fucking deja vu reading this thread. This totally happened before.

 

[manny78]

i'd rather have a benz..

I'd rather supercharge my G35

 

[Delinquent]

I'm hoping that Chevy takes a hint and finally remakes the Camaro to give it a more vintage look like I have seen from a few concept drawings. Shit, I'll tell ya right now, I'm not some hardcore freak where I can't stand anything other than ford. I liked the 67-69 camaros much more than the Stangs of those years. If Chevy would remake the Camaro to look like the 67-69, I'd have a hard time deciding between the 05 Stang and it.

About the seeing mustangs everyday, sure they are gonna be seen b/c there really isn't anything made today in the same market. Yea you can consider the G35 and the RX8 as worthy options but they aren't "musclecars". That's one of the reasons why I've kept my Yellow 93 5.0 LX LTD Edition Convertible is because they only made 1503 of them in the canary yellow.

 

[notoriousQQ]

thats definitely hot.

 

[Phaded]

I'd rather supercharge my G35

i'd still have more little girls flocking my way

If Chevy did that, it would be a total "me too" effort.

Don't be stupid.Todays technology is a hellava lot better.







Anyone know what the sticker price is?

Almost anything you can buy these days, you're gonna see mirror images of yourself coming and going. "You see them everywhere" is the stupidest reason to diss a particular car model.

Dude, you could get a nice supercharger for less than 5k$ and easily add 100HP to the crank. Just a thought

 

[Phaded]

where?

 

[manny78]

Magnusson is one of brand I believe. I dont know ( and dont believe) that it will include the Intercooler too.

I'm more into Infiniti/Nissan stuff for obvious reasons but for example, a Stillen stage 2 Supercharger (including warranty) for a G35 with intercooler is less than 6000$

You may look at this website: http://www.hopupracing.com/index.html

That's where I got some of my upgrades and I know they can get hard to find items for exotic rides.

 

[Phaded]

i'm on a benz webforum and we've discussed this many times.. there are only like 3 superchargers made for benzes.. and 2 of them are over 10 grand.. 1 is supposed 5900 but it has yet to be tested or put on the market..er.. actually i found the site that shows the superchargers compatible with benzes.. there are like 5 brands and they are all over 10 grand

Well 165HP and 147ft-lbs for 10k$ ? Not that bad plus you get the complete package with ECU, intercooler and all.

 

[Phaded]

i dont really care about hp though brother.. i mean its a nice car for getting from orlando to daytona in 30 mins.. but other than that i dont really whip my car.. i'd rather make it look nicer with the 10 grand than make it more quick..
