Some guy offered me 40k for my 5th gen yesterday. I told him 50k. He said he'd consider and call me back this week. If he counter offers 45 I will let it go

Love the car but it really is time for a c6z06 or a zr1.

Yup. And if they're modified they usually are worth more here.

My car has like $27k just in parts something like that and I don't need to sell it... But if he wants it, it's going to cost him!

I stopped at the Ford dealer to look at used Vette. They have a 13 GT500 and they are asking 80 grand for the thing, and it says on there that the MSRP is 60 something. LOL I'm sure someone will buy it though.

Got dynod. 382 on a mustang dyno, cars running dangerously rich, and needs timing. 18 hp more I'd be thrilled.

First 6-speed. Tell me what think. Slow/Medium/Fast shifts? What do I need to do to get faster? Just more practice I'm guessing.

That was pretty slow not gonna lie. Don't try so hard, it comes easy. If you over think it and **** your going to miss gears etc... Just go in there hating the car and do work. Thats how i learned to shift my car i was mad at it and just went around flooring it everywhere lol.

Don't go all the way down with the clutch and don't come off much with the gas...

Drive it like you hate it.

My dealer sold our 13 gt500 in less than a week. Sold our Boss 302 Laguna Seca for $65k in 3 days.

80k for a mustang is disgusting. I like the new mustangs but you'd have to be a ******* moron to pay that much for one.

I know that feeling... popped 5th gear synchro racing an evo many years ago and lost 3rd gear this year (165K on it). The rest are barely hanging in there I think.

My 5th gear complains everytime I shift at WOT into it lol. If my 4th gear wasnt so stupid short I wouldnt worry about it.
