    Christmas is comming around... Gotta make a decision

    Should I trade in my '99 L for a 2003 Cobra? I feel so torn!!!:bash: On one hand, the Cobra has better top end, weighs less, and gets better traction. On the other hand, the look on people's faces when getting smoked by a 2 ton pickup (especially SS and Vette) is priceless. Any opinions?

    Traction!

    This has probably been addressed a few times, but... Exactly what should I get, besides drag radials, to get some traction on this 4800lb monster. My mods so far are : 4lb lower, mac intake, 2 hi-flow cats, magnaflow catback, and Diablo Chip. I can't floor it anywhere before 2nd gear or I'll...

    K/B Supercharger

    Thinking of switching from the Eaton to a KB Blower. Any thoughts on it from anyone? Is it worth the money? I've noticed often that a lot of people aren't running anything lower than 12s with the stock block and the stock Eaton.

    Just got smoked!

    Dude, I was driving home from work a little while ago and a 300ZX Twin-Turbo pulls up next to me. We get to a light, we look at each other, and we go. At about 30MPH, we both floored it and this guy SMOKED me! I'm talking a 4 car lead and I'm not gaining. We get to another light and take...

    Exhaust Question

    Sup folks! I have Lightning and just bought my wife an 03 GT. I'm wondering if I remove the Cats, will I loose low end power? On my L I loose a significant amount of low end power but I'm not sure if the same applies with the GT. Please advise me. I'm doing the exhaust and 3:73 gears with...

    Just got an exhaust... WOW!

    Hey everyone. Just got a custom exhaust for my 00 L. WOW! What a difference. I removed all 4 cats and put to highflows from Car Sound and a magnaflow muffler. After putting it on, I started thinking that I should have done this a long time ago. Again...WOW! What a difference! :beer...

    Yet another strange sound

    Lately I've noticed, If I'm making a right or left turn, there's a hissing noise coming from under the hood. I can only hear it when I turn the steering wheel right or left. As soon as I stop turning, the noise stops, turn a little more and it hisses at me again. Anyone else experience...
