6spdg37s Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 That should run pretty good! IRS is great for handling but going to the track with the straight axle is better for hooking up and no wheel hop! how is the IRS handle launches on the GTO? my boy had an 05 GTO not crazy mods just headers, exhaust, intake and a tune.. I tryed to teach him how to launch.. not an easy task in that car ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZGTO Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) how is the IRS handle launches on the GTO? my boy had an 05 GTO not crazy mods just headers, exhaust, intake and a tune.. I tryed to teach him how to launch.. not an easy task in that car ! You just need to learn to drive the car...I can launch with very minimal wheel spin on the street, at the track I can crack a 2.0 60' on street tires and a 1.8 60' on drag radials launching at 4k...I also have drag bags for track use...Its really up to the driver..I'm pretty decent The main prob with the IRS is bad wheel hop though...thats what the drag bags help with... I've beaten a couple of the 6.0's up to 45-50 where we let off. Not many people can launch them. Must have been crappy drivers...Mustang GT's usually are an easy run if I run them from a dig or a roll, but then again its up to the launch and on the street I launch at around 1800-2000 and feather then clutch out for minimal wheel spin...

Chewy Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 My G8 has IRS as well and with a bit of help from Pedders and BMR it will hook VERY well. The main goal with IRS is to stiffen it up some. The G8's IRS is superior to the GTO's. MUCH stronger! B-E-A-utiful car their Ed. I am a Ford guy at heart! Plus the fact that Obama:( isn't running them is another HUGE plus IMO. Great car! Enjoy.

DCRANER Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Wow Ed! I'm a BowTie guy, but that Mustang is a killer machine, I really love those cars. THE MUSCLE CAR LIVES !! Plus, the two tone interior is a great accent to the body color. Good luck with that beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run 1.8's on my street tires Besides I don't shift until 45 from first gear so thats why I can usually take the 6.0s from a dig until 50 but after that its Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit67 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Alright, here are the 'after exterior detailing' pics. Still have to do the interior - that's for tomorrow. The Saleen Nationals are being held here in Colorado this weekend, and they have a Shelby Mustang class, so I'm getting it ready for that. Hopefully my red painted mirror covers will get here before Saturday's Show N Shine. I don't know, but I think the detailing made a huge difference. At least I'm happy with it.

Bill-V8V Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 3rd brake light cover needs to go. I love the car and the Red mirror caps will look great but I agree that the third brake light could go, it's a classy ride and it already has a SHELBY on the rear deck lid. NOW LETS SEE UNDER THE HOOD :rockon::rockon: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit67 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Yeah, I don't really like the 3rd brake light cover either. So far I haven't been able to convince my wife that it needs to come off, and since it's her car... Maybe it needs to fall off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Hey Ed, show Chris this thread, and maybe she'll start to think like the rest of us?? How many times can we write "SHELBY" on the back of the car?? OFF WITH THE CHEESY COVER!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit67 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Haha! Stupid brake light cover is gone! I told my wife the other day that it looked like it was starting to peel off on one side. Then today, I told her everyone agreed it had to go, so she said take it off. Boy, was it on there good! I mean it almost fell off all by itself.
