    Aluminum Driveshaft

    I have heard that an aluminum ds on an S197 is worth about 18rwhp. Don't know if that is true but you're getting a 25-30lb weight shaving, in reciprocating weight. I mean the stock ds is the weight of a cast iron head. So needless to say I'll be including this mod in the future. :nice:

    Couple things I don't like about my Mustang

    I hated the price for months before I bought mine (August 31). I went around to local dealers trying to find one that wasn't a fully loaded, auto. I had decided I wanted a 5 speed manual (of course), either Tungsten Grey, Vista, or Windveil Blue, and maybe a Shaker 500. Wheels weren't an issue...

    New stang?

    The only thing I sold to get my S197 was the ablilty to hand my boss a Johnny Paycheck 8 track and a little tube of Vasoline. Shove nothing, I can't get by for less somewhere else and you know it. Still no one can wipe the grin off my face. Sure I have a Fox sitting in the garage and thousands...

    Want to buy the devil? Ebay auction...

    Wow, you learn something new every day. Bookmatched woodgrain, aside from being nice to look at, also renders anyone who stares at it long enough into a complete moron. Or does that just come with the GS.

    2005/2006 big block

    Don't be too concerned. You want something unique and everyone here should respect that. I personally think the retro ride, retro power thing is cool, if you have the means and are willing to do it right. It sounds like a formidable project and you would likely lose as bigcat mentioned earlier...

    Wheel Help?

    Whoah. I have to admit I only checked a couple of sites, but made sure pricing was per wheel and not by set of 2 or 4 as your info seems to suggest. :bang: So thanks I feel kinda stupid now, but am considering 19's now, so for once I'm happy to be a moron. :p

    Car Battling?

    Wheel Help?

    Hello again 'stang fans, after a bit of googling, then giggling, and finally gasping. I have arrived at the decision that I am not the craziest person on this little blue-green marble but one of the few sane ones. The wheels to which I inquired about earlier are indeed bonSpeed Delta's (...

    Dyno Numbers - your opinions please...

    I'm with radtexas you could have a factory wonder on your hands. I used to own an '89 5.0 Coupe T-5 3.08 gear K&N panel, otherwise bonestock including timing. Well that little wonder pulled like it had at least 3.73's. I know what your thinking, another butt dyno testimony, but I wouldn't...

    1/4 window louvres

    I'm waiting to see if someone comes out w/ qtr louvers in the '67-'68 fbk style, as '68 fbk is still my fav year and body style of 'Stang, and part of the reason I bought an S197. :nice:

    Wheel Help?

    Hey does anybody know who makes the wheels on the Vista Blue GT in the BFGoodrich ad. I've searched through literally hundreds of wheels on the internet to no avail. I even have the poster ( picked it up at WFC either this year or last) and cannot make out the name on the center cap. It...

    How do you clean the rear window

    Have you tried dropping the seats and crawling through the trunk? No, huh. So it's just me. Nevermind.

    License Plate Text Help

    I was thinking S197HVN for mine. I like it because non-Stangers will be constantly trying to figure it out and as we all know. They don't have a clue.

    BEST FITTING AND SOUNDING EXHAUST~PLEASE HELP RECOMMENDING ONE~

    I have the Bassani cat, X, and mufflers on my '06 GT and I love the sound. I bought it used $900 off a guy w/ a black '05 w/ Saleen supercharger. He thought it was to loud and that there was a droning noise at low revs (which there is but it is tolerable). I have to say the sound is comparable...
