Congratulations! I'm sure by now you've seen all the advice about old tires and cold tires and sudden direction changes. Be careful if you're new to high performance cars until you get a feel for it. Enjoy it.


Yes thank you great advise. Here is a few of my other horses in the barn.

Congrats
As I'm sure you know some cars like to go into first before reverse.
Some GT's do.

You have some nice cars, but be prepared to be the center of the universe everywhere you go. Yes, more than in your other nice rides.

Congratulations!

Welcome Doug! Glad to have you on board. The car and the baby are beautiful. I've only been on the forum for about a year, but in that time I have met some spectacular people who have taken me in like family! Have fun and hope to see you at an event in the future.

Congrats on the acquisition and welcome to the crewe.

You should also know that the passenger seat has LATCH connectors for a child seat--no need to carry her up in the air duct. :biggrin

I did the Heffner H-pipe and it really makes the sound=performance=look.

Congratulations on that black beauty! May you have thousands of grin producing miles ahead of you.
Regarding the hard effort to get her into reverse, especially when the trans is cold, Kendall gave me a tip. First slip it into 1st gear and roll forward a foot or so. Then you will find reverse takes much less effort.
Hope to see you in SoCal!

Welcome to the happiest place on earth! Disneyland can't hold a candle to this forum and group of people!

I once was a "keep it stock" guy but just did a pulley/tune and FRP muffler setup. I highly recommend them both, especially the pulley/tune since it retains the stock appearance.

Great to have you aboard!
