Default New Toy



My new toy to share the garage with the S2000. Kinda fun to get up in the morning and decide whether to drive the awesome handling car, or the other fun to drive, muscle car.

I would love to supercharge it and tweak the engine a bit. Don't know if you saw what Chip Foose did to the 2005 Mustang on Overhaulin, but he added a superchager that boosted the HP from 300 to something like 412 or so.

Wonder how many HP I would add with a couple of 10" Ford racing blue stripes across the hood, roof, trunk.

It handles surprisingly well; a big improvement over previous Mustangs.

My biggest dislike is the shifter. The S2000 and Miata shifters makes every other shifter look bad.

I would think a decent blower could get you into the 500 HP range without too much trouble.

Looks good Jamie. I like the new stang. The stripes are a must if you add a blower.

Uh oh! Is there a website where I can sign up? I didn't find that. I only found the schedule.
