At what 'age' is it recommended to replace mounts (engine, trans) and suspension bushings. Like any other car, I would imagine they crack, sag and need to be replaced. Our cars are now 12+ years old. Is it time (regardless of mileage)?

Thinking about pulling the trigger. Wanted to check if anyone has familiarity with this car or previous owners. Looks like it has had a couple owners in FL. Also, interested to hear opinions about a fair price for this car given the current market. Send a PM if you feel more comfortable...

Getting close to pulling the trigger on a low mile 2005. Thinking about an 11 year old car with low miles, I am looking for some advice on what must be done to ensure high levels of reliability and drivability. The car is flawless and was part of a collection. However, I recognize that things...

Potentially pulling the trigger on another GT. The car has has prior damage requiring replacement of 1 body panel. However, no supporting docs/receipts/photos come with the car. Thought I could engage the GT Guys to do a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Given the high demand and desirability of...

GT Forum: One of my buddies has spent a bunch of time putting together a cool event for a youth wrestling program this Wed @ 5:30pm at Smith Volvo in San Luis Obispo. Here are the details he sent me...the highlights are exotic cars (great opportunity to bring your GT), wrestling matches between...

Please send me a pm and I will get back to you. Thanks!!

I know it was released a couple months ago. I've read the posts on the board which range from it works great, to having belt issues, to running out of fuel, to the stock airbox can pull enough air for it. It seems to me it would be fairly easy to determine if it's working properly and if...

Has Dustin released the results for the 4.0L whipple yet. Originally he commented that he would have results this week. Only 1 day left in the week...

I know I am probably going to get very biased :wink answers to this one given the audience, but looking for some honest opinions on the new GT2 vs the Ford GT. The new GT2 has been heralded in the media as the best ever, and I can pick up a ford GT or GT2 for essentially the same price. Both...

I know there are quite a few GTs running around with the stock supercharger+TT package. Has anyone tried a Whipple + TT option? Someone had mentioned to me it didn't work as well as the stock supercharger, but it didn't make sense. If the Whipple can push more air and has more capacity, I would...

I feel like it's been almost a year since the first discussions began about a Version 3 Whipple for our GTs. Any updates? Did this project get shelved due to the economy? Sounded like it would be released "any day" several months ago.

I remember seeing posts a couple months back about a new/newer Whipple (larger disp) that would be available for our cars. Did that project end unsuccessfully?

I have seen a few of these listed on Ebay. I understand the logic behind running TT's into the supercharger (no lag, low-mid range power/torque), but how are these packages holding up with spirited driving??? Any overheating issues, engine reliability issues, drivetrain issues, detonation...

I originally had a Gen I whipple installed almost 2 years ago. Hadn't been on this board in awhile and now I keep hearing about multiple generations/options. What are all the options and what are the differences between the generations? What are the pros/cons of each? Thx.

Through our quests for more and more power, it goes without saying that it puts added stress on our motors. We all know that these motors don't come cheap, and, quite frankly, there aren't thousands of these cars around putting thousands of miles on the motors every year to truly gather enough...

Just curious for all of you Whipple owners out there. I know many people running the 21# pulley on the Whipple but most of them run 93 Octane or race gas. Is 21# boost too much for 91 Octane? Is it too close to the edge?

Just wanted to let the board know that I only have 1 pulley set left. It is a 2.78" pulley, powdercoated black for a stealth/stock look, and a beautful billet, oversized idler pulley (double roller) that was custom made for the pulley to take out all the slack out of the belt and tensioner. I...

Brought my car in for an oil change. Afterwards I noticed the oil level was about 1.5 qts too high. After sucking out the excess oil I decided to check the oil filter. I noticed there was not 1, but 2 O-ring seals on the cap. One was in the last groove of the cap threads (it is larger than the...

Saw it, looked great, and since I am new to the area, I was hoping to meet the owner. Unfortunately, I didn't drive the GT. Let me know so we can plan a cruise.
