Just bought a new black 2000gt now with 600 miles it will be going to the track. The car is a 5-speed, I want to know where you guys shift,launch and what can these motors take. The stock tach says 5800rpm redline, what do you think? I have been a die hard 5.0 guy, need to learn more about these 4.6 motors. I probaly wont modify this car right now(my 89 is WILL run 10s by next summer) I just want to know how to get the most out of it right now. I like the car so far, but it has it's quirks, vibration in trans,growling rear and car has died on me with the clutch in. I have only babied this car so far. I sure hope things will get better,my wife wanted a honda accord and I talked her into another new mustang. I sure hope I wasnt an idiot, what's up with FORD these days anyway. I have owned 9 mustangs 83-00(all v-8) my loyalty to ford is starting to change. OH-WELL maybe if I can get this little 00gt to run high 13s I might be a little happier.
THANKS FOR ALL REPLIES.
