some of you guys are stupid.

Agreed. What is the world coming to when Mustang owners think a rwd V8 car (MUSTANG!) doing massive powerslides/burnouts is "gay" or "rice"? If you can't appreciate this, you are far worse than a "ricer" imo. I think it's one of those bandwagon things, one person said drifting is gay because it started with foreign cars, and now everyone thinks it's cool to hate it.

Hello,

I'm new to the forum here. I am a fan of the whole drifting thing and I am currently putting together a 5.0 for drift. The car is actually my daily driver.

My friend David is the driver. Right now we are just getting the suspension worked out, but we plan to do a number of events later this year once everything is working.

The car is really quiet in that video as it still had a stock exhaust, I fixed that by removing the mufflers.

Let me know what you guys think.

/\ Very cool. What have you done to the car to get it ready for drifting? It seems like it works pretty well, and you have a good driver there. I'm actually very surprised how good it sounds with no mufflers haha.

Very nice!

Right now the car is still pretty simple:

• Maximum Motorsports coilovers (600 lbs front, 250lbs rear)
• Maximum Motorsports Panhard Bar
• 17 x 8 -30mm wheels with 245/45R17 wheels at all 4 corners
• Removed interior
• Stock 170 Mile engine and transmission [king cobra clutch]
• 5 lug rear with 3.30 something gear out of a '94 gt
• Racecraft 2" drop spindles for '94-'95
• 4 point rollbar that connect the tops of the coilovers
• Stock Exhaust with no mufflers [I am still able to drive on the street as it is only real loud at full throttle above 3k rpm]

Coming Soon:

• Remove the A/C [It actually still works ]
• Custom Front Lower Control Arms to add steering angle
• Full Roll Cage
• A hand brake that works, currently the car has no emergency brake.

You can see all of the videos if you go to youtube.com/driftlive

We try to make a new video each time we make changes to the car. Soon there will be a website.

drifting is rice. Defeats the purpose of making power.

Just beating them At there own Game... Cuz Racings outta the question.. With there Lack of 4 more Cylinders... doing Side ways Burn outs Makes them Feel Fast and Fresh.. Seeing Mustangs Doing it.. Makes Me Smile Cuz another Import Bites The Dust!

It's just another example of how the Fox Mustangs can pretty much do it all!

Yeah, not bad for an under powered, unibody, economy-throw away car huh?


I don't think Ford could've ever saw it coming.

True True...maybe they should do it again...

 

[KAILUAZ]

Cool, gotta love the SSP's drifting!
driftlive, cool car, good luck with the build and drifting!!

 

[driftlive]

Thanks for the support, I just ordered and A/C delete kit from ebay and will be removing the HVAC stuff this weekend in preparation for a full roll cage next month.

Also the owner of the Police style 5.0 is Dan Pena, his website over at www.dpracing.org

No matter what side of the fence your on, you gotta admit it does take skills to get a Stang around the track sideways (in a controlled manner that is).

You got that right.

I wish they had a bare-bones LX version of the new Mustang, basic interior, no power windows, no fog lights... just a basic V8 Mustang for almost the same price of a fully equipped V6 Mustang...

"yeah we call that buying a 2005 Mustang (lease return) and doing some weight reduction..."

 

[Sicarius428]

I think Ford does offer just the shell but you have to sign some papers saying that it will never be on the street.

So we got tired of the 5.0 in the car and swapped in a new motor this weekend.
