mustang will do that

Seriously though...you will probably pick up essentially nothing for most of the reliability trade-offs...

Wanna go faster? buy some drag radials.

Cool, looks like I'll be ok with the 7800 limit.

Thats why Im at 7800. I tend to hit the limiter more often than Id like to admit. Its borderline abusive. I would have liked 8k but my car wouldnt have. If you only plan to take it up that high on a special occasion I say go for it.

This is like the useless thread for folks who want to still talk about car stuff in general...

Rarely past 5k!?!? Holy nuts I wish I had that kinda restraint! Your gonna love the Gen 3s. And just wait till you get HFCs or test pipes whuch I prefer. Itll open up your CBE a lot. Itll sound 10x better

When you're stuck in rush hour traffic you don't really have a choice

Z-> 158
Mustang-> 154

Mustang is far left, Z is second from right.
