Is there any way to get the T45 to shift more smoothly? I've driven cars with the T56 like the C6 Z06, and other cars with superior transmissions like 911's and a myriad of Japanese and German auto's, and it seems to be an obnoxious night and day difference. My T45 feels like a piece of shit. I...

I recently had my rear end completely rebuilt and I went with 373's, so I got the speedcal. I had all this professionally installed at Gaunt's Performance in Agawam MA. They said that they installed it correctly and it has power going to it, which it does, but for some reason it's reading way...

I'm looking for someone who's maybe upgraded their diff and has a 28 spline differential they can sell to me for cheap. It has to be in good working condition. If you have one send me a PM and we can work something out.

The rear end on my 2000 GT took a dive about a week ago, not sure if it's just the gears or if the diff broke as well. I'm looking for a shop that will install aftermarket gears. I want to go with 373's and I can't find a shop anywhere that will install gears unless they're the factory...

I know there are a lot of STS haters but I personally think it's a great setup and it's got great potential as long as it's tuned right. I plan on getting one once I get my financial situation cleared up. Only $3200+shipping for the universal kit, so it's pretty cheap, and it'll put me right at...

I found an apartment after a few months of searching. Real nice place ect ect.. I'm filling out the application right now and it says the landlord wants my banking account number? Is this normal? I really don't feel comfortable giving out my account number to someone I don't even know, and 90%...

I'm wondering what a dyno curve of a Saleen S7 would look like if it had a Whipple Supercharger on top pushing circa 20 pounds. I'm modding an S7 for GTR 2 (a computer racing simulation) and finally found the sounds, so now I need to figure out the engine curve. The TT S7 dyno charts obviously...

OK, this project is a long way off, but here 'goes. If you're pressed for time, please skip to the "What I need" paragraphs. In summary, my best friend (Matt Peterson) died April 28th 2007. About 7 months before he died, he told me that if anything ever happened to him, he wants me to take...

I was at a light, with the Vette behind me. The Grand Sport Paint job was what cought my eye. On the green I pull off slowly, throw it in second and make the left turn, taking the right lane. He takes the left lane AND the hit, in first gear. I nailed it, walked about 2-3 cars and was stuck...

The situation: My girlfriends father owns this house and lets us live here as long as we pay all the utilities. He hasn't payed the mortgage in a while (I have no idea why), the house may be (probability is high) forclosed on within the thext 20 days. My question: Almost EVERYTHING inside...

I got my 2000 GT 2 years ago for $13,900 @ 8.5% (5 year loan). So far I've paid $6,600. If I traded it in for a 2000-2002 Audi S4 for roughly $17,000, how much would my payments increase? I'm paying $275 a month now, and I wouldn't want to go much more than $325'ish a month for the S4. I know...

It's a beautiful day out, and I was doing some spirited driving in the Stang. From a stop light I floored first, and as soon as I banged second a bunch of smoke was trailing from the rear of my car. I pulled over and there was red fluid dripping onto my exhaust and smoking. From what I can see...

I've been looking at C5 Vettes here and there on autotrader.com, and I'm playing with the idea of maybe trading up. My original plans were to get an STS turbo for the GT, but now I'm not so sure. Running low boost would be fun for a while, but then I'd have to build the motor up to run high...
