Thank you for the compliment David. I appreciate it.

It occurred to me last night looking at this the thread on HighBoostForum that I forgot a couple pictures for you. Not sure how but I did.

It's great to see a shop like yours diving in to this platform as it's pretty rare to find a Mustang tuner who will concentrate on much more than building a drag car.

this will be interesting for sure..

I didn't want the brakes, too much weight added to the car. We are going to do some lightweight replacement rotors with Giro Disc for the car as it is. More brake than I will need with the car and what I plan to do with it. I wanted to buy the car as cheap as possible and as light as possible. The way it sits I was at $29,500 for the car, excellent price for what you get I think.

The V6 was a thought but it's a useless market. It's like buying a standard Lancer instead of the EVO. The chances of an EVO owner modifying his car is about 95%, the chances of a Lancer owner modifying his are probably 10%. Same goes for the Mustang market.

Yes, not looking to build a drag car and I hope it's an edge for us. Today I'm trying to find a lightweight wheel I like for the car, nearly impossible, laughable actually. If I wanted some drag wheels I could have been done in 15 minutes....

I read a huge article on the new engine these come with. I was impressed with how much they improved on it. Feel good, i bet!

Nice pick up Dave! I'm very impressed with the looks and from what I've read about the performance with these. I'll be staying updated on this thread and cant wait to see what comes of it.

Surprised you didn't get a white one to match the BadBish.

I would have loved to see what you could have done to a GT500.



Always the best of luck in your plans for the car Dave.

I've got an F250 Super Duty diesel about the same color as the Mustang and bought a new trailer in the spring to match the truck, I thought I'd stick with the same color to look matched. I wanted white but if we go do some races with it the overall look will be more professional.

The car feels really good, I put over 100 miles on it tonight. 55-60 mph cruise shows 28.xx mpg's. 75 mph cruising is showing about 23 mpg's. Handling is better than I'd expect on the all season radials, corners very flat. I'd love to take it around Mid Ohio like it is, Id guess some low 1:40's on the pro course would be easy.

Something else I really like, 10 preset radio stations, never seen that many before.

The GT500 is just too much money, $48,000 was the best deal I could find, much more limited market.

I was definitely a little surprised at the dyno chart till i see you mentioned 87. That is pretty damn impressive for the "low octane" tune.

Now this is going to be fun to watch.

Yes, the power is good for an 11:1 engine running on 87 octane but the dealer was stupid as hell to put it in there.

The 8? Yeah - looks like a twin turbo to me.

Good luck with the build. The military community is like mustang central. I have to admit, the new ones do look fantastic.

I'll be following you from the land of sand.
