Woo-Hoo, what a ride!  Bet it's a lot nicer than your older one.  Did you trade the '10 or sell it privately?


 


You gonna do track days with it?  I'd go nuts trying to behave myself on the street....
 
Very Nice ride there sir!


 


Thought you were waiting on that Hellcat tho ;)


 


j/k i prefer mustangs over that and the camaro and 662/631 is certainly no joke ....as if your previous one was :)


 


BTW, you seem close to central NJ ... There is a new place in Edison Rt1 in Wick plaza called Quaker Steak & Lube... they have a very sizable car show every Sunday in the summer in the surrounding parking area.  A lot of nice Muscle - old and new.  You should consider coming out there and show off your new ride with that Poxy on it :D
 
Traded it in and got good money for it. Car was returned to 100% stock and was bought by an employee of the dealership on the spot. Between the trade in, sales tax credit and the selling of parts I can't use on the new one it worked out well. I probably will take it to NJMSP next year to track it, not interested in drag racing it.


 


My buds hit that show last Sunday, I might tag along one of these Sundays. I just hit the cars and coffee at the Shoppes in Old Bridge this past Sunday with my Charger RT. I love the Hellcat and would love to put one alongside, but I decided to stick with Snakes instead of Cats lol
 
Would love to see how that tracks @ NJMSP !!


 


Good luck with it. 


 


That new 2015 Mustang looks REAL good to me and i may even consider one myself :o
 
M-D- Ah, glad the deal worked out so well.


 


I'm wondering if that NJMSP is the same place I do my Driver's Training....is it down by Old Bridge NJ?


 


And yeah, I'd be all about roadcoursing it as opposed to drag racing.

Accumulator - NJ Motorsports Park - further down in Millville NJ.


 


Old Bridge - do you mean Englishtown raceway?


 


Yes roadcourse activities much more exciting than drag but it's all good fun.
 
MelF1fan- Ah, OK, now we're on the same page.


 


Yeah, Englishtown sounds right...heh heh, I know how to get there and which gate to pull in, but I get foggy on the details.  Just sorta get there on autopilot any more.  I train with the Vehicle Dynamics Institute every other year or so (sometimes more often, never less).

I tracked my Charger RT black top at NJMSP Lightning raceway this year and it was a BLAST! My Mustang Club rents out E-town for the day twice a year. We just ran on June 20th and the Charger ran 13.8@ 101 spinning, with a DR should be a low to mid 13 sec family car.


 


One thing I would love to do is learn how to drift, really can';t practice that on the streets lol.
 
Accumulator said:
M-D- Well, you can do it a *little* during the winter, not that *that* car is likely to see much winter use!

Oh yeah, I do it all the time in Winter :lol: ... turn off TC, turn the wheel a bit and give it some schtick!


 


I'd like to track my car but would like something with A LOT more power or something Low/Light and toss-able.


 


Maybe i'm too used to playing Forza and F1 on XBox with no traction control haha.
 
Taking it to my tuner on Thursday, should be over 700hp with my CAI and tune. Also putting in 170 T-stat to assist in cooling.

Awesome!!  Please report back once tuned and ready - and a Dyno Graph :)


 


Side note - My friend has a Supra that's tuned to around the same number maybe just under 700hp.. Well before even that, he let me drive it.. when around 620ish..Holy Crap.. i'm hooked.


 


Can't wait to see your numbers.
 
This will be a street tune, not a dyno tune so won't have a graph. We tune, take it for a ride, adjust, take it for a ride etc. My 10 with a CAI, 2.59 pulley and a tune make 540 rwhp by the same tuner.
 
I do - 2 of 'em :o .. well one is an 09 M3 i bought off lease in 2011.. the other is a 06 325i - you can see both here


 


Looking to offload the M3 soon.. want something a little easier to maintain but still nice to drive / look at....maybe trade in for the new 2015 Mustang GT (I Really like that...) or hold till if the new 2016 Camaro looks good.


 


And something darker maybe.  I might regret that :)  But is why i'm in this forum right?


 


Sorry to flood your thread with my cars bud.
