Other problem is that girls love it and cant keep em off hehe I got mine with the brembos and I added the ford racing springs with a 1inch drop, it rides great to me, not...

    new 5.0 the time is now

    For mine, Im doing the Stage 1 Power pack. It comes with the SCT Tuner with a preloaded tune, the Steeda CAI, and the Flowmaster Hushpower Axleback Exhaust. It costs 1129 from LMR. It will net you a bit of power and if you do other mods, they offer free tuning adjustments :)

    Watch out Europe... here comes the new 5.0 (M3 vs 5.0)

    So for 25 grand more I can buy a car thats less than a tenth of a second faster around the track and a tenth of a second slower on a 1/4 mile? Seems like the Mustang just schooled the M3 :)

    Ford released new supercharger kits for the 5.0

    The kit looks amazing, however the pricing is steep. The paxton kit is 5kish and the turbo kit is about same price, and all three are about same power (base ford racing kit). Even the tuner kit is almost 1k more and those kits usually do not carry the warranty.

    HIDs please. My lights stink

    Mustang Parts & Performance - StangMods has an HID kit thats an OEM Non HID to an HID Kit. If the bulb your currently have is the same as factory ones, then this HID kit should plug right in.

    Tires/Speakers

    I had Hankook V12 Evos on my S2000, dont get them. They arent worth it. The inner walls were cracking after a like 4 months of normal street driving and the every now and then redline. No drifting/autox or anything like that. I would go for the Nittos Nt05 or Bridgestone Potenza RE050 Pole Positons.

    Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro go flat out in the flats

    I would have personally liked to see the 2011 5.0 Vs. the Camaro SS in that same situation. They should keep it within the same price and power range. 426hp vs 412hp is more reasonable given they are similar priced and powered. The next race should be when the Z28 comes out vs the GT500. Thats...

    How would you spec a 2011 GT? Factory options vs. D.I.Y. or aftermarket

    heres what I did for my 2011 Gt.. I got Electronics Package, Glass Roof, brembos, 3.73, 401a, and the Accessory Pkg 5. The factory alarms suck. You can get a much better aftermarket one for cheaper, and good wheel locks will run you a few bucks. there are tons of aftermarket HID kits, about...

    sct tuner or exhaust

    I would say get the exhaust first. You can slap it on without tuning it, get a good sound, but you might not get much power (depending on what exhaust though). Then buy the tuner and a few other parts and then install and tune for it.

    2010/2011, better handling?

    Hey Crackballer, I also currently have an 2000 S2000 (im on s2ki.com also), which I will be selling for a new 5.0 pretty soon. You know there is not much out there that can compare handling to our s2k. I have not driven a 2011, but I did test drive a 2010 GT, and it handles ok. With some good...

    Need stripes and HID lights

    That was a cheap way for ford to kind of force people to get the security package :( I feel the same way, I want HIDs but not the security package. Ill be installing my own alarm once I pick mine up. I did find a nice aftermarket HID kit. HID Dual Beam Headlight Conversion Kit for 05-09 Mustang...
