Was over at Extreme Automotive in Canoga Park, CA to get an adjustable Panhard Rod installed in my Supercharged GT because the addition of 295's to the back end made my handling less responsive. While there, I had the pleasure of meeting J.R Granatelli who was also there getting some of his new parts put on his mustang for an upcoming article. Didn't know who he was at first, but started talking to him about his car and all the bitchin suspension modifications I saw on it and he took the time to educate me on various suspension performance products his company was manufacturing for my 06. Sean Roberts at Extreme had previously installed his Throttle Body on my 06 after testing it on his dyno and finding legitimate and significant HP and Torque gains from it. I might have been one of the 1st to have this great new bolt on. I immediately noticed greater throttle reponse and seat of the pants acceleration differences upon getting the part. I read with interest the thread on his throttle body (See Mustang Source Forum/Barnett) and all I could do was laugh at the pseudo engineer naysayers. No question in my mind it is a great part, beautifully engineered and manufactured and it works.
After meeting J.R. he pointed out some bolt on under body bracing parts his company manufactured and that Extreme had in stock and I decided to get them. He supervised their installation and spent a lot of time with me which was something he didn't really have to do. All I can say is what a great guy and a real gentleman. I am a criminal defense attorney and by experience a good judge of character. When talking to him, never did my finally attuned B.S. Detectors vibrate. Those of you that question his claims obviously don't have experience with his products or with him. I have experience with both and trust the guy's judgment 100%. Incidentally, I test drove the car on Mulholland Drive after the suspension modifications he suggested and my car's handling is so tight and stable that it is literally ready to burst out of it's skin. Anybody that is interested in some real performance improvements in their Mustang would be wise to check out Granatelli's products.
