I got a automatic GT convertible and I honestly was do something to it but I just don't know what to do ? Any suggestions

 

[Soccerluvr4]

What type of mod do you want? Performance or looks?

 

[Mflores14]

Both I wana do alot but since it's a automatic I can only do so much with performance

 

[Soccerluvr4]

You can do everything a manual can do for performance, don't let having an auto stop you.

 

[Mflores14]

True true haha

 

[Soccerluvr4]

What do you have done so far? Looking at your picture i can see a few things.

Really, the first performance mod you should do is a tuner. It will wake up your car. Add gears to that and its a complete new animal.

Damn thanks guys didnt think I could do that much and I've looked at tuners damn their expensive ha I only got a k&n cold air intake and gripprs lowering springs and pypez dual exhaust

Next purchase should be a quality set of full length weld in subframe connectors.

I have a 02 vert gt...our cars are rated at 260hp at the fly wheel. I'm not positive but I wouldn't be doubtful that I'm pushing that or more to the rear wheels.

Bbk CAI
Bbk 78mm throttle body/plenum
93 oct race tune
Mac Pro chamber
Mac cat back
Steeda udp
373 rear end
275/40/17 nitto 555 on 03 cobra rims in front
315/35/17 nitto 555 on 03 cobra rims in rear
Lighted style bar
MGW short throw shifter (since I'm a 5 speed)
Sequential tail lights

Soon to come will be LT headers and a procharger.

Start with letting your stang breathe better.

Our cars come with 4 catalytic converters which will rob horsepower. Get yourself and O/R H pipe with flowmaster super44's then go with a generic brand CAI with 75mm TB and a bigger plenum....those mods will free up a lot of horsepower

For engine mods check the stickies section of this forum. CliffyK made a great write-up for beginning mods.

+1 on opening up the exhaust. But go with a straight through muffler. Flows rob air flow. Tuner. Gears. Intake.

 

[2002VertGT]

Lets start off with this....how much $ do you have to play with right now? Or within the next month or so...we will get you started

 

[nickysixx]

Start off smart and get some subframe connectors before you do anything.

My vert came with sub frame connectors...

 

[runvsofthisbull]

I believe all verts come with them, (my 02 V6 came with them), but they are bolt in and weaker than the weld ins. I swapped those out for the MM ones. Matched with springs, shocks, cc plates, balljoints, and bump steer and my front-mid susp is done....next up the rear.

That's true...they are there though so I'm not worrying about them ATM
