Re: 04 GTO vs. 05 GT

I think Zex gets a bad rap cause it's associated with ricers sometimes (around here anyway), but it's made by Competition cams whose pretty respectable. I love the kit. However, I haven't dyno'd to see if it's making the hp it's supposed to.

Summit limit is $1k for me...depends on your credit I guess. You can apply online and get an instant answer.

LOL. I saw that when I typed it. It's not how it sounds though. I own a couple retail stores here in town and my income fluctuates with the holidays. I ordered the kit before Valentines and paid it off 2 weeks later. Why wait when you got 90 days same as cash and you know the money's coming soon?

Re: 04 GTO vs. 05 GT

I've never been to the track. Just got the car in January. Plus, they're not the greatest drag cars as they're prone to wheel hop and the launch is kind of abusive to the drive shaft and rear axles. From what I've seen around the net they're a mid to high 13 sec. car at around 103-105 mph.

I'd wait then run him down after he tried to flyby me, 1-2 car head starts. It took me to 110+ to get past him every time from 75. I was impressed given that my car isn't stock.

Re: 04 GTO vs. 05 GT

Tell me about it! I hear the only one worth a sh*t is the nitrous express one which is in the mid $200's. Gotta wait a couple weeks for that one cause I just filled the summit card back up with suspension goodies. I just installed a purge valve though, so once I get the rbv I'm set. Can't wait...

Re: 04 GTO vs. 05 GT

Has any one else notices the 05 gt's have 3.55 gears and still a 5 speed where as the 04 gt had 3.27's and a 5 speed.......theyre quick out of the hole cuz of the gears...thats why their tops speed is also barely over 140...just my $.02

Re: 04 GTO vs. 05 GT

I have a ZEX kit too, currently setup as a 100 dry shot. Bought it a couple years back for less than $500 and it came with an inline fuel pump at that price. What a great bang for the buck. The kit was easy to install to, I documented the install http://www.geocities.com/TheTropics/Shores/1951/zex.htm

Another smart *** in the group. Look, smart ***, I know exactly what the cause-effect is of a lesser production Mustang. I was just saying" Its to bad" Not saying what they should do just saying " ITS TO BAD"..did you read that one? Should I space it out so you can better understand it.
Im sick of all the Jerk-offs on here twisting things and beings asses over nothing. If you re-read it you wont find one thing in the entire article saying " Make less"..Jezzzus!!!!!!!
