A little down..

Hey guys. As you know I am selling my car. To dial it in right I would have needed cats (less stink and for emissions), a smaller cam (more street) and go BACK to 3.55 gears because they were perfect (for me). I have already put too much into the car and it had to stop though. It is kinda tough getting used to anything with less power.

My new mustang is a 06 gt VERT black on black with 17k miles. Its nice but will take some getting used to. Like today, some lady in a mark VIII was riding my tail so I slowed down a bit and then hit it in 4th...prolly shoulda hit 3rd but whatever. I pulled away from her fer sure but man..I am used to BLAM!!!!! Shotgun away in the 414 like flicking an ant-> see you in the next GALAXY! ...not in this thing.

So I then realized I am driving a "cruisers" car. Its more refined but I also realize all the suspension work I did made a huge difference. With subframes, TB plates/welds/springs/etc..The 414 drives like a coupe compared to this new GT I am driving. It doesnt do bad in the turns. The quality of the interior materials seems better on the '94 too. I feel like with this new car ,I could rip the shifter AND the handle right off with ease. I feel like I could punch the dash and BREAK it. Not that I am going to.

So I've got 3 more days and I could turn this '06 back in. But then I would have to change out the cam on the 414 for daily driver, put another intake on it, get cats and probably change the tune a bit...I just had no idea the quality work thats been done on the old GT and what a difference it made.
