    aftermarket gauges in stock bezel..possible?

    No cutting, no problems. Mustang Depot, CJ's and a bunch of other people sell the backing plate. Use either a 65GT or 66 bezel (5-dial)... http://www.cjponyparts.com/TechGS.asp

    225/45-17 too narrow?

    Yep, a 245 tire has a 7.5 - 9.0 recommended rim width, so it's also a good fit for an 8" wide wheel... I know LOTS of people run 275's on an 8" rim, mainly to avoid buying new rims. Just because you can/did, doesn't mean you should... After all, you said it best "Theres a reason late model...

    225/45-17 too narrow?

    Approved rim sizes for 225/45-17 are from 7 to 8.5" wide. So yes, an 8" wide rim is PERFECT for that size tire! See chart: http://www.falkentire.com/fk452_sizes.html Oh, and to prove it here's a picture of a 225/45-17 on a 17x8 rim... At any rate, for handling, I'd MUCH rather run a tire...

    Roush Not impressed with Motortrends PJ edition numbers.

    So, for the $10k difference, add a blower & good tune to the PJ car... Plus, you can still haul 4 people.:nice: Nothing against the Saleen OR the Vette, but one is engineered from the ground up as a no-compromise 2-seat sports car, and the other shares 50% of it's DNA with a mass-produced...

    Roush Not impressed with Motortrends PJ edition numbers.

    The PJ did by 2 full seconds... ...and the PJ (on street tires) beat the vintage racer by .44 also!

    Roush Intermittent Sarting Problems

    It's a FORD issue, not just Saleen... Here's some examples, and searches on each of those forums will turn up dozens more. Has your dealer checked current draw with an amp gauge yet? http://www.mustangforums.com/m_2281696/tm.htm...

    Roush Dealing with insurance companies

    What you're talking about is "diminished value"... Which is a pretty grey area. You've probably got a case since we're talking about a collector-type car and third_party damage. You might be able to threaten litigation to get some compensation (especially if you're close to a "total loss"), but...

    Roush SALEEN owners and Enthusiasts club?

    Sorry, I can't speak about the SOEC, not much contact myself. No reason you can't belong to multiple clubs either... I can tell you that I asked a similiar question about a year ago. Mike from SCOA was the only response I got, along with a couple private messages/emails as follow-up from...

    Roush SN95.5 Cobra taillights?

    They bolt-in, but it's a little more involved when it comes to wiring them up correctly, as the Cobra tails have a seperate bulb for the yellow turn signals. Kar Kraft sells a wiring kit - http://www.karkraft.com/99-02_mustang.htm , and here's an online set of instructions...
