    Some advice for a noob

    Since there's a $6,200 price diffence between the GT and GTO (in favor of the Mustang of course), then there are two quick solutions that should push you into the 400hp+ catagory.. For cheap $500-$1,000.. Nitrous or Toss in a supercharger or turbo setup for about $4,000-7,000. These...

    Trim the fat options?

    Ahh! But your missing the secondary benefits (which are actually primary when you think about it) you'd be GAINING additional horsepower along with the weight savings, and lets face it, you're going to be doing 98-99% everyday driving and only 1-2% drag racing. For those into track racing (i.e...

    Trim the fat options?

    I'm thinking, so far, that with a rear seat delete, updates to the stock suspension, radiator, flywheel, exhaust system, drive-shaft, battery, run-flats and maybe a few carbon fiber replacements (preferably doors), a weight savings of around 300-350lbs shouldn't be too far outta the ballpark...

    Trim the fat options?

    Alright, I know you can do things like a rear seat delete, get run flats - dump the spare, pull out things like sound deadening, etc., etc. But I'm interested in finding out about chassis, suspension, engine modifications that could really make a significant difference in weight savings...

    What wheel size suits you?

    I'll tell ya, living in Phoenix, I've never seen so many cars that are rolling on 20's or bigger. I've lived in San Fran, Denver, Chicago, Orlando and nowhere do people go all hog wild over large rims like here in Phoenix. Heck, I even saw a Hummer rolling on 26s no more than a week ago...

    What wheel size suits you?

    That's what I thought as well. With 20s it also looks as though you don't need to lower the ride height as well. Nice to see such a good response to this poll :nice: :D

    What wheel size suits you?

    This arguement is always being discussed on various forums I frequent. So I thought I'd, why not poll our StangNet members and get a good idea as to which size is most popular on the new Mustang. There are lots of reasons for peoples choice, but the biggest I see is for the 'rice' issue...

    New Halos For 05/06 stangs

    I say you do what you want with your Mustang, if everyone decided to do the Mustang community a favor and go back to stock, we'd all be driving pretty much everyone else's car. Where's the fun in that? :notnice: Sorry to hear that they weren't HIDs. :mad:

    Engine swap or forced induction?

    Gotta admit, that's not bad as far as pricing goes. :nice: Are you planning any further upgrades in the future? By the way, I assume you're utlizing a manual tranny, yes? How about some visuals? :D

    Engine swap or forced induction?

    If you don't mind my asking, what did that whole setup cost you (including labor)? Did you do the installs yourself? Do you have a picture posted of your ride?

    Motor Trend Info on the new Boss mustang

    Ford as a company IS dumb, due to executive mangement just looking out for themselves (whoop, need a pay raise, time to dump a few more thousand hard working people, or whoop, created another crappy car no one wants and didn't make a profit, bye bye middle class workers). :nono: GM's...
