Does your dad drive a honda with a fart can?

From what I've seen, CAIs do absolutely nothing for power.

im getting so pissed off at him, he thinks getting those 3 will make a v6 into a GT.....first it was low mioleage on this car he wanted me to get, i found one for 500 more, with 1/2 the miles and is a GT...a yellow 01 gt with 26K miles...and he found a 00 black v6 with 42K miles....sigh

Put the car on a dyno, then install the CAI, exhaust and superchips and do another run......I know that isn't cheap to do, but it's proof!

If thats what your dad thinks, make a bet with him. Tell him you'll get the car dyno'ed to see what its making now, then add those parts, then dyno again. Tell him if that gets you to 260hp (I'm assuming he's talking flywheel which means you'd show 215 or so at the rear) you'll shut up and keep the V6. If he's wrong, he's gotta reimburse you for the cash you wasted, and lets you get a GT.

However he is your dad and you still live at home, so ultimately you gotta listen to him in terms of whether you're "allowed" to get a GT. Like I told the other kid, if you dont like it, move out. I wasn't allowed to even get a v6 Mustang when I was your age.

hey man, i know you've been looking. But be patient with finding a good car. I took a month and look what I have I didn't even have a car when I was looking, so I was carless for a month. You on the otherhand still have a car to get around in. Honestly though, it's not bad to dream, but try and secure a GT first b4 you start thinking mods. If you don't and then you don't get a GT you're gonna be pissed and seems like the world comes to an end, lol. Don't rush into a car either, your gonna be stuck with it. If you really want a manual then wait for a manual. Me on the otherhand was very particular on a GT with low mileage, and either white or sonic blue. I would of liked a manual but I had to sacrifice something and get an auto.

And Icefreezen, I too would love to hear what mods you have to run 13.8's
