    referral for a 3rd party appraiser

    Hey guys; long time no post. I've just started negotiating with my insurance company on the value of my car that was totaled in a fire in May. I did not have a stated value policy so the settlement amount is pretty open to discussion. I'm having a hard time finding GTs bought/sold in the last...

    Spec clutch owners

    Does the drivability get better after a couple hundred miles of break-in? Because right now I'm regretting adding more hp to the car and taking the Stillen clutch out. Car went from driving like a dream to worse than the sintered iron clutch I had in my Corvette a decade ago.

    Accufab TB

    Anyone had issues with these sticking open a little bit after a bunch of WOT runs? I sometimes have my idle stick at 1500-1800 RPMs for a while after making some runs in the car. I've had a check engine light for this and replaced the Idle Air control valve and the fuel filler neck. Everytime...

    whipple 4.0

    Did I miss something? I know a bunch of people were interested in the new Whipple but I don't see anyone asking about Fubar's results. I believe he made 765rwhp with the 19psi pulley on pump gas in 100+ degree Texas heat. I think he should be real close to 790ish rwhp on a 65 degree day...

    clutch switch?

    What is the part called that detects the clutch is fully depressed before you can start the car? I was out having some fun earlier banging shifts and I think I broke something. I have to sort of pump the clutch a couple of times before I can start the car. Is there a single part number for...

    Theft Deterrance

    How hard is it to steal a GT? There have been a couple of bikes stolen in my complex recently and a friend's Viper had his roof slashed and stereo stolen. I guess its time to grow up and buy a house with my own garage. :ack

    high octane fuels

    What are some of you boosted guys running as far as "race gas?" There seem to be a lot of options: C16, Q16, 109, M3, M5.... C16 is the one I hear about the most and it has one of the highest octane ratings but I also hear it kills O2 sensors and cats. I don't have cats but I don't want to be...

    finally some numbers from my twin turbo car

    Car is finally almost done. Probably picking it up today for the weekend and dropping it off for race gas tune next week when I go out of town. This is on 93 octane and 17.4psi boost. We will probably turn it down near 850 for safety until I get my methanol system on the car. one pic...

    white wheels

    anyone done white wheels on their GT? Im kicking around the idea of doing white Forgelines with a blue pinstripe on my white/blue car. But taking chances usually ends up kicking me in the butt.

    stock airbox

    Is the bottom of the stock airbox supposed to look like this? I was looking at it the other day and the welds on the bottom didn't look very "factory" so it got me wondering.

    Stillen front splitter and rear diffuser

    Is there any sort of consensus on whether these 2 parts will be beneficial at high speeds or not? Looking at it from an amateur perspective, I would think they should obviously provide better downforce. Having searched, I see many are worried about how they may effect the aerodynamic balance...

    guys running 20/22 wheels

    This question is for a friend of mine, but I remember reading here that Pirelli discontinued the 335/30/22 tire they used to make. I did a quick search and cant really find another good option on tires for someone wanting to run 22s in the back. The closest Ive seen is 305/40/22 off road...

    short shifter install - DFW area

    You guys know of anyone that has experience working on a GT that I could trust to do this? I was thinking a performance shop could handle it but it would be better if someone that has taken the console apart before could do it. The shifter doesnt come with instructions on the removal of the...
