    Anyone up north drive their stang all year?

    If i was you, I would buy a beater for the winter. A buddy of mine has been parking his 1994 mustang outside for 10 years now, no tarp. And everything seems fine. Ive got a garage myself. I would never drive mine in the winter, with all that road salt. Driving a sports car in the winter just...

    NEW EXHAUST!!!

    how is the sound? Its made from borla so it must be deep. is that the kit they advertise from ford racing on this site? It has the air filter, mufflers etc... who installed it and did they recommend to go with cat backs for more flow or is the new exhausts good enough?

    exhaust question

    Thanks for the info, now that ford has packages like that it makes it easier to play around with. They even have a tuner to calibrate everything. Those mufflers are probably the sound i am looking for. I would probably spend the extra few bucks for cats though.

    sonic or vista blue owners

    Black is an interesting color Tom I thought about it but wasn't sure. Your right about making look mean. I would like to see every color in person first, it would make the decision alot easier. I think in the end any color combo is going to look awesome because our cars are made for stripes...
