You ran 13.59 with LCA's, exhaust,gears, and short shifter? $hit man...not bad

But honestly, how much slower are they compared to 17's?

I can definitely feel it off the line. Pretty much feel like they're harder to get spinning. I'm getting a set of Drag Radials put on my GF's 15" v6 rims, so we'll see how much they actually affect speed. Wish i could mount her 15's on the front, but i upgraded to 13" brakes, so no dice

I hate ICE, it's probably the worst wax i've ever used in my life. Its a PITA to get off and it shines the same as less expensive crap.

^^are those 17's or 18's?

Guys if I want 18X9 will I need 275/35/18 or can I go with 40 sidewall? Will 18's rub if I lower it like 1.5" ?

to sum up the saleen question, you wolnt find 17" saleen wheels. at least in over 8 months of looking at wheels i didnt. 18" wheels are the best fit for mustangs, imo of couse. the whole wieght speed thing is very true, but ifs its a dd you might as well run what looks best and get separate track wheels and tires

nice find.. but look how much they are .. go ebay and look into o.e. wheels if your thinking about any chorme or polished replica mustang style wheel. their quality is very good and the price is unbeatable.. even when compared to americanmuscle with the discount.

Yeah.. I don't know of any places left that sell smoked taillights, but some places sell tint that you can put on the taillights. Some people on this forum have done that.

Only place I know of is stangmods.com.

i love the all black rims on the black cars. actually, if my rims finish goes down the road, im powdercoating them black. then i will paint my break callipers laser red.

i use ice wax...i like it, it can be a pain to get off somtimes. easy to put on though.
