his comments were meanlingless to me...

The comments were accurate though and he did say the car had a lot of potential, and thanks to this forum, many members are now having a much improved vehicle:
Front End Light - lower front end w/ adj. shocks or shock perches
Longer Gearing - lower final drive ratio
Heat in Engine - Xpipes, Hpipes, etc.

I bet if he were to come back and drives one of the modified cars w/ 700 to 800 HP and double adjustable shocks, he'll be thoroughly impressed. BTW, I saw a video where he commented the Carrera GT's front end wasn't that good either.

A couple members have mentioned to me, the currently in development, final drive ratio gearing.

Having owned and later modified both a Mustang and SVT Mustang Cobra final drive gearing, I think this modification could be a very effective for both street and track and overall driveability. I am not looking to run at 205 mph on a regular basis, so I would be quite willing to give up top end max speed for low and mid range acceleration. I loved the modification on my mustang and cobra.

I will watch this development with great interest.

 

[FLASH]

He does have a point about heat. On a hot summer day I pushed it at a track day at Little Telladega and with a pulley and modified exhaust the car was overheating. The boost stayed under 12 lbs. but the power felt more like 8 lbs. It did get up to 235 degrees after 10 minutes so I pitted to let it cool. I had the super tuner Jerry Wroblewski change the hi & low fan settings to make them come on sooner but I have not had the opportunity to test the new settings. Hopefully that will do the trick but I wish the car came with a heavy duty radiator and associated cooling components for extreme conditions. Living in Hotlanta has some drawbacks.
