I don't think it would be anymore than 500.

But yeah, take their money that you get from the accident and combine it with some of your money to get a completely new bumper. Cobra definitely....

I agree. I've been quoted 250 bux to strip, re-prep, paint, and re-install my rear bumper.

You can always have them fill the Cobra in with body filler.

That didn't take long.

If it happened at school, why don't you go up to the kid and tell him he hit your car, and ask him to pay for it? If some kid did that to me, I'd be all over him. Follow him home and tell his mommy what he did. Then politely remind them both that hit and run is a situation that you can get the cops involved in.

I've done both methods and I have gotten a better time watching the tach and as soon as it gets to the red I get off the gas a tad not much and then get back on it as soon as it shifts but i've also floored it the whole time and got about the same times.

But during regular driving I wait till about 1,800-2,000 let off and the gas and get back on it.....the sooner I get into the last shift the better...well for my gas at least

but your gonna have to get used to your car I have 4.10's

Thats what I do if I cant figure whats wrong with it after replacing damn near everything you can in the general area of what it could be then I take it to someone.............but since you have that warrenty i'd just let them look at it and let them replace it for free

well about the transmission thing, my dad said that "oh thats just the sound of a GT" jokingly...but im sure a BOGGLING sound thats louder than anything i can think of is the exhaust when its stock...lol

he said he'll check it out as soon as we get it back...
