Here's a quick shot before putting her back in her hole.
http://www.justagt2.com/wheels2 for the rest.
These wheels are heavy! Steering is heavier, braking takes more effort and handling feels muddy. So I'm going to have my stockers powder coated and the lip polished like the replicas.
The stock wheels are 17# front and 21# rear. These are 24# front and 31# rear. ugh.
But still looks good tho.
What'chall been up to?
But a sellout with style.san~man said:Looks sick man.
That sure is a huge increase in weight, aside from rotational mass too. Look sick though!!!
But you're still a sellout
It's like comparing apples to oranges. The Vette handles incredibly, has torque whenever you want it, and fit anf finish are top notch. That and I can go 100mph and get 19mpg. Or slow it down to 75mph and get 30mpg. It's incredible.stangGT97 said:Wow, great looking car man! But that is one heck of a weight gain...
how do you like it compared to the GT?

Very happy. But keep in mind, my heart is still with Mustangs. Everytime I see a modified GT or Cobra drive by I ALWAYS look to see what they've done to it. And everytime I see a yellow GT with loud exhaust I get a little sad, I do miss her.stangGT97 said:That does sound incredible, I'm glad that you're happy with your car

If I ever do it again, I will go a totally different route. Make a lightweight street fighter. Strip all non-essential stuff....radio, ABS, back seat, etc....go with some lightweight wheels, and a monster powerplant.stangGT97 said:yeah man I hear that. Maybe some day you will pick up another yellow stang, build it up as a tribute to the original. I think of it almost like your mustang took a bullet for you - it died so you could live...
