    Braselton Bash

    this used to be the year one bristol bash, which was awesome. I was at the first two. My saleen was even featured in both mustang publications from those events. It was great, we would travel through the mountains all day in a huge caravan. This new idea is sorta anti climactic. may still...

    16 year old in a 2005??

    When I was 15 my dad said I could have a mustang, specifically a 5.0. For 2 months after my bday i drove a huge 87 grand marquis. On haloween 98 we bought my 93 gt, which i still use almost everyday. I had 1000 of the 7350 that we payed. I worked that summer full time for a rental company...

    When The 2005 Comes Out...Do you Think?

    go check out Brandon fords of tampa. The website is brandonford.com. They have 5 speed gt's for $16,999. They have mach 1 for 24$. Cobras brand new just over $30. I heard about em on ls1.com some time ago. If you call and talk to their internet guys they will give you some amazing deals...

    Bassani Headers purchase and HP increase

    BBK definitely makes long tubes for the 2v as does mac. Just check ebay, they are everywhere. If you are not getting mid lengths, you will have to either buy an hpipe or a catted mini x, which are pricey as hell. For numbers, i have seen a vorteched 99+ 2v gain some 27rwhp with long tubes.

    Roush S281E or S351

    From reports in many mags i have from over the years it seems the s351 would be the winner. But its not as bad as it seems, (this is all theory from comparing separate articles). The E in Sportscar International magazine some 14 months ago posted a very low 12 with 116ish traps maybe 117 mph...

    so what's up with the rear-view mirrors?

    Well the 03+ cobras have em painted and they are retractable.....so this to me is just another way Ford is being cheap and scamming its core group of mustang fans. :notnice:

    Roush Saleen Plant In Michigan

    Not exactly sure what you mean, but Saleens headquarters are in Irvine California i believe. Or somewhere in the Socal region. Just go to the saleen.com website and get the full address.

    Has anyone noticed......

    From what I can tell they mod the stock rear quad shock setup. If i am not mistaken they also add wheel spacers to help out with the clearance. I may be wrong but this is what it looks like to me. I think 275 are the max that the fenderwells can handle stock. I am sure someone will correct...

    Roush gear? for 99-03 saleen owners

    :bang: Welcome to the world of crappy Saleen service. Not all but most that I have heard about or encountered have sucked big time. My rule of thumb from now on, if its not a saleen blower issue or body panel, get it done at a real performance shop. I used to have everything done at the...

    Has anyone noticed......

    .....that the 17" wheel option on the forthcoming GT's is narrower and taller than what we have now. I know there is the 18" option that has 255's. I just think this is a total joke, one of the few things about the car that bothers me. Look at it this way, 245/45/17 were already available in...

    Roush Saleen - Rousch

    Well as far as i know Roush is more in competition with Saleen than any other "tuner", but Roush would actually be the equal of steeda since they are just "tuners". Where as Saleen was granted a manufacturers title. So a roush will always be called a Roush stage 3 MUSTANG. Where as a Saleen...

    Roush H or X-Pipe?

    I have catted bassani x-pipe attached to my borlas. The power is alright, I am not sure what my dyno indicated, it was like three years ago, but the sound is amazing. There is somewhat of an annoying drone on the highway, but i think my gears may add to that. I have never had any problems...

    Ford says they will have incentives on the 2005's...

    I personally have 2 stangs that I paid both in cash immediately. My mother did the same on her used 5.0 as well. I believe that if you can pay in cash you will always save money in the long run over financing. Unless you get 0% financing which most americans will not qualify, especially...

    How much would you pay for a 6-speed & IRS package for the '05 GT?

    I agree with mp67. after all these years that the t-56 has been out, being charged extra would be a slap in the face. But development on a new IRS for the rear, not just one stolen from the jag/lincoln would cost something. So i chose 1200 as well.

    Who wants IRS?

    Even though this thread has been pondered over one to many times, ill give my emphatic YEA to the IRS. . If vettes and 03 cobras can be running high tens with em, there is no reason to assume that ford can't make a new irs even better to withstand the vigors of drag racing. Irs handles better...

    Roush need more power in my 281SC, what to do?...

    What does the gen IV m90 have that my 99 does not? Because all the blowers that i have seen on the 01+ look different than mine. The top portion looks more similar to the lightning blower.

    05 Stang vs new GTO?

    Everyone brings up the fact that it looks typical pontiac, but wasnt it actually made by HOLDEN for the Australian market. From what I have read GM intentionally used this car. Mainly because with the American mods that had to be done to legalize it, they could slightly redo the edges to make...

    Roush need more power in my 281SC, what to do?...

    While I totally agree that the eatons basically suck and don't respond all that well to mods, the list he has from chicane will suffice to what his power needs may be. If he feels that his wrx is fast, all those will surely be enough. Like I ahve previously stated I am barely over 300 at the...
