Looks damn good!

[TRAXX]

Pimp Danny! Didnt used to be a fan of white on cars. I picked my current fox body inspite of it being white, but it grew on me.

I kinda like it with the stock grille though.

[Doug Hatton]

Looks like the CS grill.... looks great!

[Johnc]

looks good just like that

Just thought I'd put some more pics up.

I put a new set of tires on it and replaced the blue center caps with red.






I'm also trying a billet grille but I'm on the fence about keeping it. Give me some opinions.

does not compute. Plenty of programmers/programming available for the 6.7 Ford

heh, I guess I have been out of the game for too long.

I've never done the dyno thing before. It was kind of what I expected, a bunch of Vipers and Vettes getting their bragging rights. It was kind of fun but seemed like a social deal for the LS crowd, heh. But I have to say the 1400hp E85 Z06 was BAD ASS! The guy was really cool about showing it off, it had a 434ci LS with an F2.

Yup, saw that car at the SVT meet a few weeks back, definitely a stupid amount of horsepower.

LS1 stock?

LOL, nope. Truly 100% stone stock.

No 400, no care.

Truche.

Where did you take it?

True Street Motorsports in McKinney. I figured what the hell, I was going to Denton for Pistons and Paint anyway... but found out that McKinney isn't all that close to Denton after all.

I was standing 20ft from my car when it dynoed. It was so quiet that I didn't even know it was running until he hit the throttle, and even then all I heard was the rollers. lol. I was suprised to see 300tq from 2500 to 6500. The numbers are okay, but the A/F is bad - 15:1 the whole way with my second run starting at 17:1. Ouch.

Yea, I was down at Diesel Dynamics the other day and they said it is real hard to put a programmer on the new Fords. Something about having to be done at the dealers. The DPF's are a waste IMO.

nah, they're focused on diesels at the moment... you can delete the smog equipment from a modern diesel and pick up 3-5+mpg. The oil cartel can't be having that. You gasser guys are good for now

damn

[90GT50]

No 400, no care.

So are you upset that you paid way too much for a slow car?

It sucks so bad.

[Cooter]

LMAO!

Exactly, you can buy a Jeep (SRT8 G.C) that will hang with a Porche, a wagon (CTS-V) that rivals supercar, a diesel truck that can hang with a sportscar, all have superior performance compared to the past. It is one of the few things going well in the world. Just wait, the epa will screw us again.

These new cars are just unbelieveable. The "muscle car era" wasn't the '60's and '70's...it's right now.
