Little pony has now been put out to pasture. She was a sweet girl and hopefully there will be some new owner that will treat her with some love, and let her gallop on occasion. I originally bought a 2013 manual GT, and kept her for a few months, however the wife has diabetic related problems...

FS, Houston area 2013 automatic with sync, non premium. Right at 20,000 miles. Always garage kept and I'm OCD about keeping her clean, inside and out. 2013 Deep Impact Blue Mustang GT, automatic. Steeda lower control arms, GT 500 axle backs, BAMA tune, Nitto 275/40/17 NT05R drag radials...

First and foremost, this isn't a race against each other. Both cars are mine, and these are the results of trips to the track like to like. The DA was a little more in the negatives for the SRT than it was for the Stang. Now, who would win when conditions are almost exact? The Stang is...

However it seems to boil down to either fanboys or haters. But I'm neither. I'm patiently awaiting to seeing and driving one on a test drive. For example I would like to make a comment about the new GT running the 11.77 in the quarter, but if I make one, I feel the big time fanboys would just...

Will be used on occasion between October through April for doing some spirited drag racing. This (plus a dyno tune) will be my last mods. Shooting for mid-11's from high 11's. Circle D converters tend to get the most press from the forums, and seem to be the 'go to' torque converter for...

First of all, please allow me to put things in context before starting. I purchased a 2005 auto Pontiac GTO with the LS2 and it was the first performance car I had owned since the late 1980's when I had two 5.0 Mustangs. I was looking to bump up the performance of the GTO and was watching some...

My car is a 2013 auto Mustang GT, with long tube headers, catted X pipe, BAMA tune, and Air Raid CAI. Stock 3.15 gears, stock drive shaft, and stock torque converter. I'm living with the rims I bought, so please don't go off on any tangent concerning different rims, such as using a 15", which...

Back in April, I made a choice to move to the BAMA tune (from AM naturally) using the SCT tuner. My 3 tunes were an 87 tune for economy, a 93 preformance tune for daily driving, and a 93 race tune for track nights. The difference between the 93 performance and 93 race was that the 93 race...

First of all, I tried a search on 'windows 8' and came up with a bunch of postings about car windows. So much for that. I've managed to change my tune several times, so I'm not a complete stranger to using the SCT device. So I'm considering getting the Bama hybrid tune, but I want to do...

Before we get started, I know this is a Shaun/AED site, however since I don't have a SCT tuner, the cost for his tune is $650, which is too much at this point in time. So, my first choice has moved on. Had it been just a $250 charge to update my own SCT, then he would have my money Monday. I...

OK, I've decided to go with the Nitto NT05R 275/40/17 on a 9" rim for an occasional trip to the track. Car is 2013 auto with 3.15 gears, and stock 235/50/18 Pirelli. According to the calculator my revs. per mile is 785.93. I'm just guessing, but isn't this the number you plug into a SCT hand...

Anybody else going to be out there? Royal Purple Raceway Fires Off 2013 Fun Ford Weekend Schedule : Fun Ford Weekend

Launching our cars is very important and there will always be differing opinions. Yesterday at Evadale raceway near Beaumont Texas I did an experiment to see which was the best traction control method. Some favor shutting the advance trac totally off by pressing the traction control...

OK, this is about the best test I can come up with comparing my car bone stock vs. FRPP tune. Same night, DA from -100 to -350, so DA isn't a major factor. Same lane at Royal Purple near Houston, Texas. Car is a 2013 Mustang GT with automatic transmission and 3.15 gears, non premium and...

As posted in a prior post, I traded in my manual for an auto, and the reasons why are listed here. WWW.S197FORUM.COM I made my primary trips in a manual to the track here. WWW.S197FORUM.COM I made follow up trips to the track in my manual here. WWW.S197FORUM.COM The primary trips and a...

Today my wife drove home a brand new 2013 Mustang GT with automatic transmission and the tech pack. Same color (DIB) and everything. It's a basic GT with package 301A and auto transmission. The wife just wouldn't drive the manual and I felt a bit selfish about getting a manual in the first...

Up until today, my PB was 12.758 @ 112.79 which was ran in + 800 DA a couple of weeks ago at Royal Purple Raceway. Mods.are lower control arms, line lock, MGW shifter, GT 500 mufflers, and FRPP tune. No doubt, I've not been highly thrilled with the FRPP conservative tune, however (at this...

On Dec. 26, 2012 I had he local Ford place, Tommie Vaughn do a Pro-Cal tune on my 2013 GT, manual with 3.73 gears. Since then, no check engine lights or anything that would lead me to think that there was any problems. Since I drive a company truck I drive just a little faster during regular...

2013 DIB 6 speed manual, non premium, with only option being 3.73 gears. Around 3,000 miles on car and is a little over 3 months old. By 12/27/12 will have LCA's, MGW shifter, line lock, FRPP tune, high flow air cleaner, and GT 500 mufflers. Has made around 20 passes at the track with a...

Basically a newbie here. Now you guys know I'm going to take Lil Pony to the track. Hell, we all know that. Everything I've learned racing my 2005 A4 GTO, 09 A6 Vette, and 09 A6 G8 GXP goes down the drain racing my 2013 M6 Mustang GT. What did I learn from my GM autos? A lot was learned...

Some of you guys already know this, but I'm trying to learn. I'm new to running Fords at the track. 2013 Mustang GT manual with 3.73 gears. I want to stay in 4th when running the quarter. What is the diameter I want to get or stay under or over, and is there a website where I can get the...

I have right at 400 miles on the new car, is it too early to make a few passes at the local track, or should I wait a bit?

Who are the 'go to' guys in the Houston area for mods and tunes?
