DSM HATER ANNOUNCEMENT: Blue Mustang 'Bullitt'

**BenGSX** · February 21st, 2006, 10:23 PM

Mustang owners are neat.. I had a guy in my apartment building ask about my car.. He knew it was all wheel drive.. (My guess is one of his buddies told him..) Then he went on to tell me that his mustang (he was standing next to and polishing) runs a 13 flat at 101... (Bone stock looking 99-ish GT) I ask what hes done to it.. He kinda fumbles for words for a second.. Then starts to list off.. "Yah uhh cobra fuel system. Cobra throttle body.. And an X pipe..

To which i replied.. "Soo uhh.. you bolted on some injectors and a throttle body from the 5.4 cobra motor onto your 4.6 and now you run faster than the cobra can in the 1/4??"

He sorta looked stupid for a second and then said "Yah well its all in the tuning.."

To which I replied.. "What did you tune with?"

And the final answer "My buddy did it all for me.. Im not sure what he used."

As I walked away I said " Uh huh"

lol...that reminds me of some day last week I was driving home on the freeway and saw a ricer out civic and mustang on a flat bed, both f'd up pretty bad. I was like....ahhhh, thats typical...and that must have been the slowest race ever while it lasted before the asses ran into each other..

in response to benGSX's post, most dyno shops dont need a "tuner" like you think, but can actually flash the tune straight to the ecu, much in the same way a hypertech/SCT or Diablo handheld tuner does. ill tell you what though, nothing beats dsmlink for a streetable tuning system(AEM EMS but i hear its not very street friendly).

the EMS works just fine if the tuner takes the time to tune all the variables and settings. not just tuning the car for maximum power, but tunes for reliability also.

i'd rather have 500awhp and be able to drive it with no comprimise in driveability then have a 560awhp car that runs like dookie.

i dunno, id rather have a 560hp car that runs like dookie at nothing but WOT and another car for everything else. im done trying to have a super fast reliable car, especially in cali. my next "go fast" car will be solely built for that, nothing else.
