    If not a Mustang, then what?

    I still drive what I used to, my Mer/Benz, I just wouldn't have my garage ornament. It I had to buy another vehicle and the 197 wasn't around it probably would have been an H1 or H2 HumVee. I've owened Vettes all my life from Pro Street to stock, and as the song goes " The Thrill Is Gone "...

    doesn't this rattle your cage...

    Don't get all frustrated over it, in fact use it to your advantage. Let the other guy be the Bear Bait. I'm an OTR trucker and we do that all the time. Just let him get ahead bout an 1/8 mile, then you can pace him without worry. If you are using a bird dog {radar detector} it will pick up the...

    HorsePower

    I'm happy with what I have right out the box. HOWEVER, adding to the package is only half the fun and the self gratification of having done it myself is the other half.Besides, when done it will and I stress will be everything and more than any GM or Mopar in a box.

    REALLY... how ANAL are we!!!

    All I will add is being "anal" is just the tip of the iceberg. A famous person once said " It's not how you get there that counts, but rather, It's how you look getting there". Won't EVER buy black again.

    HorsePower

    I feel that Ford knowingly under powered the Stang mainly for the reasons of economics. Simply put they sell the car cheaper than the other Brand 'x's therefore having a much higher sales ouput. Now where it becomes interesting and actually quite smart from a sales perspective is in order to...

    Anyone running cutouts on an 05+?

    I dunno, I put mechanical cut outs right after the collector, and on a fairly stock engine it surely don't sound like no busted up chevy. Really needs cam sticks though.

    Painted brake calipers

    Might also consider doing your valve covers. Did mine w black VHT Engine enamel. They almost look like they have been powder coated, looks awesome, not to mention $6.00 worth of paint opposed to $300.00 plus for a set of after market valve covers.

    Pics of 05+ Spring and Exhaust Set Ups - Picking Up My 07 Tomorrow>>>

    I've installed the flow 40 but with the single chamber and a Pypes O/R H pipe, nothing ricer or raspy bout that sound. Damn near sounds like a big block. Granted I had to find a muffler shop to do the install, but all in all it still worked out a couple dollars cheaper than buying "pre assembled...
