Yeah the CR might have been a garage Queen, but at least it was a Queen. The Mustang is more like an Ogre... ugly.

If you're happy, that's what matters.

I think my PWJDM intake was one of the earlier ones and it had fitment issues. It also had an ugly womp sound on wot in lower rpms.

It truly was hard to let it go, but I just needed something more practical.

I was really hoping someone would buy it as is, you ended up having to part it out though, right?

Thanks for making this thread, at least the photos live on. New ride looks great too

I parted out with some of the parts, but most are still on the car.

I never compared the 5.0 to the CR.

I needed something more practical with rear seats.

Lol, the Mustang is definitely not that aesthetically pleasing. I'm not happy, but content. I'll probably will be selling the Mustang soon anyways. Not planning on keeping it too long.

Wow, beautiful CR. It looked terrific with every setup besides the Forgestars... just too big for the car like you said. I probably would have never sold it, and would rather have it than the Mustang.

Nice work.
I'm actually thinking of getting a '13 mustang as my daily. How is yours treating you?

Did you keep the forgestars? Those would look pretty good on the mustang, the sizes and offsets would have fit. And this time you could have ran proper tire sizes

I like the power and creature comforts. It makes for a great daily. Just make sure to upgrade the suspension because it feels like a boat.

Yea, I agree. Although 18"s are too small. 20"s fit and look good on the stang.
