Yeah thats because the kdw's in 275 are only 35...I am looking for 275/40. Good year f1's are like that but they are expensive. Falkin has some in this size as well but they are not the best tire...so im still looking as of now.

I am going to go FI one day but when I do I will swap my gears back...it will be some time before I do it so I want to enjoy the gears now. This will be the first time for gears...actualy first time for anything other than a FWD honda or acura I have come to the dark side muahahahaha

So on the 06 GT....4.30 or 4.10 IYO
Welcome to the darkside . If I decide to do gears, they will be 4.10s. It all depends on what kind of driving you do most, city or highway. Your best bet would be check the performance forum and see if anyone is running 4.30s

I have been reading...but one more tidbit from someone who has had them never hurts. I do mostly city driving...I live min from work. But I do get on the interstate from time to time...I think im going to do 4.10 for now.

Car is still not built...actualy it was told to me that it could be on a comodity hold they will let me know when they find out for certian. This stinks....

Yes, I am closer.

I did some checking ..a guy from NJ got his car 8 days from the shipping date. So I figure monday or tues for my car to arrive. I hope tues or wed, so the funds are clear at my bank.
I checked the date of your friends car. his was shipped on Nov. 19 and arrived on Dec 8, so that gives you an idea around when yours will arrive.

I found a post from a member in Louisiana that just got his car this week. Why don't you ask him what his build date was, then how long it took to get his car. If you do that then you'll have a better idea in regard to shipping time.

loserpunk603 is his name, and the thread he started was 'I NEED MY 05 (or something close to that)

I was so ready to see my rims on the gt we put them on my friends car tonight. Had to adjust his mac exhaust we looked at the stack of rims n tires and the impact gun and said lets do it. Man it looks so good and handels soo much better.

Believe me, I'm not happy about this. I just keep telling my self it will be here soon. Gives me some extra time to get my tires , now I'll have to buy another mod to hold me over

That's cool, atleast you get to see how your wheels look on a car. Just don't let your friend do to many burnouts

Hey guys...
What's a few more days going to matter after waiting as long as you have already? Your cars have been built and have been shipped, and based on the dates you both gave regarding shipping date and ETA your cars should be here anytime.

I know that what I said may be hard to accept, but I was in your shoes exactly one year ago (as of December 14th your unit has been shipped via convoy with ETA week of December 25...then changed to week of January 1st). Drove it home on the 28th.

I remember something a guy told me when I kept asking him about the delays on my order (it was on a delay for almost a month before it was scheduled for build)
"getting stressed out about the car isn't going to make it come any faster. It's going to be built/shipped soon"

Another thing to think about....
You could be like many people here that just placed their order and are waiting for their car to be scheduled, or have ordered months ago and are still 'Clean/Unscheduled'.

It's not the wait for the car to get built that is getting to me. It's the fact that it is sitting in a lot less than 30 mins from my house! Anxiety is starting to take over .
