    GTS called a Gen 5

    Had not thought about that. But that would be OK. I'm back in the Gen II fold and while the Gen IV is awesome, it's not a Gen II. Sorry ... but Gen IIs are sex on wheels!!

    So if a moderator edits or purges my comments ...

    They're not. Moderator comment is vague to me but not worth pursuing here.

    So if a moderator edits or purges my comments ...

    Nope - I may have mentioned a business but that business appears in other parts of the thread and it still stands. So I don't know.

    So if a moderator edits or purges my comments ...

    don't I get to know why? And who exactly is the moderator for this forum? Don't I get an explanation? Never happened to me before so I want to know why.

    Looking for GenII GTS ACR wheels...

    $3200 is not cheap but not outrageous. I bought a nice set of ACR wheels over 4 years ago for $3500 shipped. Never dealt with this seller but definitely worth checking into. Plus you my be able to work a better deal. They look to be in nice shape. Just my 2 cents.

    how does tire size affect rear end gear ratio?

    Great color! Do you know if the center caps that come with the 18" ACR wheels will fit these Gen IV 6-spoke centers?

    how does tire size affect rear end gear ratio?

    Good explanation Dave. Now I know. Do you happen to know if the 6-spoke Gen IV wheels (18/19) fit on an 01 GTS and what does that do to the accuracy of the speed? I already have 3.55s with a speedo calibration box.

    Accident...

    You can buy a front frame section (front clip) for less than $2500. Probably looking at 1-2 days labor which includes cutting welding and undercoating. I think the frame could be repaired for under $5K. Plus buying quality used parts that Dave mentioned and I think you're looking at $20K-$25K to...

    Gen 4 prices going to drop like led bricks in 5 days

    Exactly! You get what you pay for. I would never own either of those cars you mentioned. I have an 01 Sapphire ACR that is better shape than those. Here's what I've observed (this is anecdotal): $65K for 08 (non-ACR), $75K for 09 (non-ACR); and $85K for 10 (non-ACR). Rule of thumb on pricing...

    Getting a GTS to Gen IV Power

    No kidding. There are plenty of folks who have first hand experience with ARH with their Gen IV and some of them have a Gen II too. I think a lot of people would be interested.

    Only 640 hp? WTF

    Well stated Bob, +3.

    Are you ready for some real news?

    I'm thinking an early lunch to view the reveal - it's at 12:00 EST right?

    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    Ah now I see. I thought the Stryker heads started with stock castings. No wonder they're more. I got a dyno sheet from the previous owner of my car and it was 470 rwhp, 505 rwtq. Not bad so far.

    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    I've heard this before. Probably with the Stryker Heads - but what else? So Matt, if you got 612 rwhp why is what Plum stated seem inflated? Not being a smart a** but I'm just trying to figure out what I can expect for $ spent.

    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    So here are a few pictures Chuck ... they are older but car looks the same Had the car several years and have done most of the mechanical. It's numbers matching non-OAI hood, non W-30 and bench seat car. Got it for a song and the body is rust free but the paint could stand to be re-freshened...

    Wow Chuck my signature hasn't changed in years and this is a first - wanting to pics of the 442! I'm headin' off to work but I think I have some I took a few years back. I'll post later ...

    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    Those are some awesome heads - probably won't go with those and 'settle' for 550-560 RWHP at about half the price. Not an indictment on GG heads (they are killer) but 10% more HP for twice the money doesn't inspire me. I'm going to put the rest on suspension and new tires. Hopefully I will get...

    Definitely good choices. Leaning toward heads/cam. I'm waiting to get some estimates.

    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    I'm definately leaning that way. Plus I love having all the power available right now. Plus I think going NA reduces the chance of grenaing your motor.

    I agree - but this is how the car came when I bought it.

    Nice numbers - actually insane numbers. Wow!
