    2000 GT.. Manual Transmission mods?

    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...

    Looking For a Local Shop To Fix My Rear End

    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 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...

    Need Help With Saleen S7 Dyno Curve

    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.

    My Bone Stock '00 GT Beats a 1996 C4 Vette!

    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...

    Need Advice/Information About Trading My Car In..

    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... Can't Help it.. Go To The Darkside? (C5 Vette)

    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...
