2004 Gt Gear Upgrade 3:73 Question

[Bohica06]

Sounds like fun. I certainly do enjoy blowing the occasional sooped up rice grinder off the line, especially when they have all the body kits and glasspack exhaust and all that. Lookin all fast, just sittin there, waiting, ready to get whooped. The best part is when after you smoke em you see thier hot little girliefriend with them all laughing thier asses off. My ultimate goal is to dyno 300hp at the real wheel at this elevation. its gonna be some $$$ work, but will be damn worth it.

Hello, new to the board, and a new mustang owner. I grew up around cars not just driving them but appreciating them. I have respect for all makes and models and just recently unloaded my 1994 Honda civic for my mustang. I'm not trying to stir the hornets nest, but I was the guy busting Gt's and giving the Bow tie a run for his money. Supercharged, tuned suspension, full exhaust, tuned ignition, and a tuned drive train. It was a fun car but the power potential of the engine was taped out. Rather than open the block up, I did the next best thing and moved up in the world to a GT. However I loved the look on the face of the GT’s pilot when I got away from him and the guy in the Z28 when I was holding my own. Sport compacts are fun, but a V8 with the same plan applied is so much tastier. You don’t care to race a, 3:73 is the way to go, maybe even a 3:55. hell I couldn’t even tell you what the final drive of the civic was other than a JDM spec gearbox had close ratio’s than a US spec one. I really do enjoy a rear wheel V8 over the sport compact, but it was fun!!!
