Can't say I blame him either. Nice ride mate, congrats! I've been stewing on getting myself one the last few months... all this talk about the Series 2 machines has put it on hold though. Any ideas when the series II will be released?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree. im a ford man through and through but the GT heritage die back in the 70's. I dont think there will ever be another car being ford, holden, chev, dodge etc etc that will that increase in value. with all the aftermarket performace parts, turning and power figures around these days it will just never happen.

Simply put, no mods yet. Only just clocked 2,500 on her and after the first service, might head down to Adelaide on the next holiday break. I'm thinking it won't be for another few months to come before I start modding the GT.What would you guys recommend? I want to go safe on this one and practically start with an intercooler. We're getting good weather up here at the moment for running her - low 10's during the evening, and sub 10's during the night, damn does that supercharger whine in good weather!! However, hot days hit 40 degrees, so I'm thinking, the more boost I run, the more problems I'll get.At the moment, from what I notice, giving her the boot puts the boost bar just past half way - so around 8psi peak is my evaluation. If so, what would be a safe tune? Any other modifications within about the $5k mark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was me I'd probably look at an intercooler setup and tune for starters. If using the KPM gear that will be a little over the $5k mark once an Xcal and custom tune is done. Then maybe an exhaust and bigger rubber for the rear down the track.Benny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 4m 9d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 01/06/11 08:52 AM Share Posted 01/06/11 08:52 AM (edited) Lee at RDP in Brisbane is the man I'd be seeking advice from. He has plumbed a water-to-air cooler which looks factory , x-force zorst, and has just recently up the boost to 10psi. Car now makes a lazy 571rwhp. It has run 11.50 @ 121mph Edited 01/06/11 08:53 AM by bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
