Holy Crap Look What Car I saw today!!!

[04redmach1]

The Saleen is a 2.8, 0-60 and would own all hehe. I would take the Ford GT over any tho. The car is a real man. The Ferrari cars are nice, but I just don't like them. The F-360 was ran against the GT when in development with the 04 Cobra engine which is rated 390 horses, and out performed it by a long shot, and the 360 burnt a component in the test. Not to mention, you can't beat the exhaust of a good ole ford hehe.

i just can't stand fords lately. everyone in austin that i come next to in a mustang v6 or gt think that they're shit don't stink. i've played with v6's and am hoping to play with GT's in about 6 months.

i've been a german car enthusiast all my life, long before i had a drivers liscence, but if i ever had a realistic opportunity to own ANYTHING with a ferarri badge on it, i'd sign a waiver never to own a porsche or other german vehicle again.

If i had a ferarri to cruise in the summer, give me a 91 ford escort, or a geo metro for the rest of the time, and i'd be happy.

The oldest/cheapest/worst ferrari is still a work of art, imo.

I will agree, some mustang guys are @ssholes. Corvette,Viper, and other car owners are same way though. I got a little 05 V6 convertible now. nice little car, but it's a small sleeper hehe. It will get down to the 12's now.

I CANT STAND Porsche owners. Everyone I have met is a serious d!ck head. Same with SRT-4 Neon owners. Fun to take their money though The ole mach 1 wasn't slow.

i dunno, it'd be pretty slick to snatch up a 911 TT if the opportunity presented itself, but never if i had an equal oportunity to own a ferarri

the sad thing si the biggest mustang *** i know is my fiance's dad lol. he has a 06' gt convertible 5speed auto and thinks it's the hottest shit. little did he know that had my truck not been totalled the day it was, i had the parts in my apartment ready to put on the following weekend to put my dakota a full second faster than he could dream of lol. now my goal is to make my FWD 6s faster than his mustang. it won't take a ton but it'll take another 3g's to get there and by then i'm hoping i'll be in the low 13's to upper 12's.

 

[04redmach1]

Hahaha. What kind of car do you have? As big as the newer models are, I drove a 05 5 speed to a 13.3 bone stock. That aint too bad for that big @ss car. They need to lose a little weight. My mach 1 went a 12.96 with 34 miles on the dash hehe. I'm not a mustang @sshole, but I can't stand the camaro and ***** am guys haha.

you ran a 13.3 stock in a new style mustang? **** that's faster than even any magazine i've read about. i own an 06 mazda 6s that my current fastest 1/4 is 14.5 not too fast but it's stock aside from the intake. i'm hoping by my birthday to at least have headers and new exhaust then by this time next year( fiance allowing lol) i'll put a full stand alone and GT4 turbo.

 

[04redmach1]

Yes, they are pretty quick. If you put that engine in the 04 body it would run around a 12.8-13 flat. Magazines are full of alot of crap really. They said the 03/04 mach 1 had a 5.4, 0-60 and a 13.3 fastest 1/4 mile. Gave a hemi 300c a faster 0-60 time haha. Car and driver is prob one of the worst. They HATE the mustang. It depends on how you drive and where you are located. 14.5 is pretty good for that car. With exhaust you can prob knock off a tenth or 2. After turbo with front mount intercooler you will around low 13's high 12's. You should think about a T3/4 hybrid turbo. You will spool little quicker and run great boost. Not to sure on internals for your car though. Do you know what kind of boost it will hold?

 

[bumpin_blazer 5,000+ posts]

i know the MS6(mazdapeed6) is running 15psi of boost on the stock 2.3L engine not sure if the v6 is weaker or not. problem is in Tx a bigger or even a TT setup just creates a ton of lag b/c of pressure(i think still a noob on turbo's).

 

[04redmach1]

Lag isn't a huge now days. Put it to you like this, a twin T3/4 kit on a 302 you can get 750 to the wheels out of those turbos. They are EFFICIENT. Trust me go with a T3/4 turbo with front mount intercooler, and see if that engine will hold 20 psi. Your main problem will be getting traction. Mazdaspeed is AWD, so your gonna need some good tires unless you go from a roll.

 

[vgeek 10+ year member]

understandable..
WTF is a spir... you mean a flying spur... Bently's and Austin's and Maybachs are like every day cars for me now. I worked at a shop in one of the richest town in the Chi. Town burbs....got those on a daily basis...only had 1 ferrari though...but I was only there for like 3-4 months (over the winter to..which keep in mind means snow here)

Iknow a frickin 19 or 20 yr old kid who just traded in his 360 for a F430...spoiled mother fudger!!!!

And there is another kid in this rich area who's dad bought him a Carerra GT...he blew out the clutch... $16,000!!! to replace is...so he just sold it and got something called a Spyker, or Stryker...its a pretty bad asz car...kinda like a pimped out austin martin.

Pics are a MUST on that Bugatti...but I thought they were illegal in the States...?? no??

Elmhurst? When we were there we saw a Ferrari/Maserati dealership.

it's a funky AWD system. it's like the evo's with less emphasis on the AWD of it.

Ya i know, but it still helps alot from the standing start. Look in the yellow pages for House of Boost in Atlanta, GA. Thats who you need to call and get info from on that type of situation.
