Hey gang, went thru the builder on fords site and seem to be missing the part where I can throw 3.73 gears in there. How do I do this? Or just mention to dealer? About how much more $ ?

Thanks!

 

Just tell the dealer when you order. They are $395 retail, or $353 if you're using X-Plan.

 

What options did you get and what gears did you get?

 

I got the 3.73's comfort package, heated seats, heated mirrors w/pony lamp, glass roof, satin black tape stripe, and shaker pro system.

 

Awesome, now my brother can't say he's the only one.HaHa. He has same EXACT car..gears, roof, pro, What state are you in?Did they install front plate?

 

Looks like you aren't the best anymore Andy

 

I didn't see any pics of a Sterling Gray GT/CS... Hope ya'll like... I'm picking it up Monday, but I got to drive it today... it's sweet! I'll post more pics when I get it home

 

That looks great... Looks like alot of you guys are getting autos, thats surprising

 

I had to order auto on my new CS because the wife said so!! lol

 

the auto trans seems to to take the sport out of sports car!

 

Thanks! I had to order the auto for medical reasons... I have to say though, I really enjoyed the auto, it's better than I thought it would be and its plenty sporty.

 

****! I thought i was the only one for awhile. Well mine has roush exhaust so its still different. I live in kansas but i bought it in missouri so they put the stupid front plate on and screwed up the bumper. Im trying to figure out how i should fix it.


lol your right. For sure after i get my E force supercharger ordered.

 

I wouldn't do that unless you have a auto, the MT82 doesn't support over 400 hp or torque

 

Gt500 trannnny swappppp

:thumbsup:

 

Or a T56 Magnum...but by that time he could have bought a 2012 Shelby GT500

 

Well thats bull****.... wtf is with the cheap manual trans. That pisses me off....

So i should of bought a boring auto trans so i can make more than 400hp. What happens when i do intake, tune, and boss manifold.. that will be right around 400 or just over.

 

They rate it like 380-390 trq. When something is rated it means it can withstand that amount in a certain amount of test cycles.it doesn't mean it can't handle 450,but it was built at the said amount in test.
Ford put a 6060 in the Boss302S

So my options are spend $3400 on a new trans, $1200 to put it in, $800 on a new drive shaft, $6200 on e force supercharge for around 600hp, suspension upgrades to handle the extra power $1300, all at a cost of around $50900 with the car.

Or wait till the 2013 GT500 becomes a little cheaper next year for around $50k or so and have a car thats twice as good.... i think i should of waited.

My drive shaft wont do this if i rise the speed limiter will it?

Also why did ford use a two piece drive shaft on our cars?

 

No yours wont from rev limiter,Ford did it for the vibration and angle and length

 

YAAAA car finally came in . Its been a long time waiting. When i lost 2007 gt/cs in a garage fire . So here are some pics
