Stangs
 

Any of you guys out there playing with any of the 05+ stangs?? I'm building a 08 GT right now, I'll tell ya, for the money they are hard cars to beat, and parts are so readily available for them. Best bang for the buck by far!

I have a 05 GT, great car! http://www.smachineinc.com

I'll have one as soon as my Son gets out of college!

I have on 06 that will be getting some goodies this winter, probably going turbo. I modded out my buddies 05 vert with a Procharger, suspension and body kit. We had them out on KY Speedway a couple of weekends ago for a "drive the track day", what a blast. For every $40 you spend in the gift shop you got 3 laps on the track. We spent $80 and got 6 laps. I couldn't believe they let us run fast! There was a pace truck leading us and he said he had it floored, gov'ed a 100 mph. We would lay back a few hundred yards and race back up to the truck. I was seeing a little over 100 in the turns and 120ish on the straits, what a blast! Anyway, I love the new stangs.

why no 6spd?

You can go with the tremec 6 speed if you feel the need. I've got 3:73s and its just fine with the 5 speed. A friend here has 4:10s with the 5 speed and I almost wish I would have went that route. Gears, tune, and an intake really wake these cars up, night and day difference. I have a little more planned for mine over the winter also, doing the GT500 wheels and some suspension work. I had an 07 before getting this one we had modded pretty heavy, even did the GT500 bumper covers front and rear and side skirts, but it was an automatic........I had it bought it as a family driver, one the wife and kid could use also, but as usual, they never drove it......so I got what I wanted!

Look into Hellion Power Systems they have some awesome turbo kits out. The owner is a good friend of mine & some of the new stuff he has coming out is unbelievable. The power he is making is pretty awesome.

I have seen there stuff, TOP NOTCH! They are definitively in the running. I'm not looking to make huge power, just a solid daily driver with some extra giddy up. We made around 450 hp at the tires with my buddies Procharged 05. I just don't like how noisy the supercharger is. I have been very impressed with the Whipple on my boat but just feel like turbos make the most sense.

He has smaller street kits also. Just give them a call they are super nice people to talk to. The nicest part about they're kits is they are 100% bolt on, no modifications really needed. If you decide to give them a call try 7 talk to Dwayne or John & tell them Buzz sent you.

It is a fun car to play with. Unfortunately mine mostly sits in the garage.

I like your color combination:ernaehrung004:

Hey BILLR, I know quite a few of the Tidewater Mustang folks and all of the Tidewater Lightning club.......good group of folks.

Nice ride

I was going to join South Eastern Va Mustang club, but with boating and work, not much time to be a valued member. I have had my Mustang since 9/05 - it just turned 6000 miles!

Bill, that is a beautiful car. sandy and I checked one out yesterday when I ordered my f350. She actually looked at a white model that had the Shelby platinum. plate on the inside. Dont know the model, but it supposedly had engine factory mods yeilding 340hp, lowered suspension, different intake on hood, different front and rear fascia's, spoiler delete and a hurst shifter. Looked cool, but was 41k. Invoice I will find out next week. Alot of aftermarket items out.


Strip yours looks awesome also.

Jassman, thats the Shelby GT......n/a engine version. They are nice cars. Some folks will argue you can do it cheaper, but it'll never have the shelby name with it. I really am growing on mine (reg GT), I drive it every day, its almost my daily driver now, or might as well be anyhoo. Just plain out fun for no more than they cost, best toy I have yet to purchase under $30K brand new.

Roush
 

I'm trying to get the nerve up to buy this one..:D
'08 Roush 428
Pretty much all set up, even with the big brakes..
One bad unit.

That's sweet looking Tim....stats?

http://www.themustangnews.com/carnew...-0907-428r.htm

The Roush is a sweet ride, love it! I just like the famous "whine" from the KB setups.

I have a 2005 saleen convert supercharged. Love it!!

We just blew up a '06 with a procharger. pulled the heads and the piston set sideways in the cylinder wall which sent the rod through the block. the pist skirts are a inch and a half long. I have talk to a few people and they say thay are having problems with them doing this with boost or nitrous.

Tim, I looked on the site but could not find a price....any ideas. Drove the GT and GT350 cars yesterday. You can feel the difference-350hp, hear the difference and shifts are right on-Hurst 5 speed, stock shifts were good but not as precise.Thanks Jeff

Yeah you got to watch that shift to 3rd, thats what gets a bunch of guys. I went with the Pro 5.0 shifter, first mod I did, car had like 175 miles on it. The stock shifter is good, but you do have to be precise with it.

Firehawk....how must boost man?? I've seen a few stock blocks let go, but it was over 16 #s when they went. I'd never run a stock one that high myself, but you know some folks.....LOL

Jassman, there is 5 of the Roush 428 package cars on E-Bay right now for like $49,900 buy it now price.

Ford is bringing back the BULLITT edition for the 2008 models, that'd be a sweet ride with forced induction.

www.fordvehicles.com/mustangbullitt

428 Cars can be bought at $46k. 427s are about 1500 less. '07 427s are in the area of 42.5k.
I found an '07 427 in black with grey stripes and black/red interior. It's new in the dealers lot here in miami. Sticker was 51k. He went right to 43k. I might buy the leftover if I can get it for 38... we'll see.

12#s thats not really that much boost. It made 520 some horsepower but it didnt last long. Now I here u dont want to push the stock block past 500.

I'd like to jump in on this conversation, but I think my 78 Mustang II mini PRO STREET is no match for all this new IRON.

Tim - do you have some more info on the 07 427's? I am in the same boat as you and would like to find a couple of leftovers that could be had for less than $40k. Send me a PM if you prefer

Thats Bad Azz!!!!!

Our 07 Saleen speedster -- With mods it is putting 470 to the rear wheels.

see if he wants to sell two, awesome vehicle.

$38K would be a helluva deal on one......keep us up to date on what you all wind up doing.

Awesome looking:cool-smiley-011:

The dealer has a red with white '07 and a black one..
I'm after the black one.
Anyone want red?

Beggars can't be chosers :) Any pics or a link to the dealership site? Thanks!

I have driven Jack's Nightmare & his 427R that he has with his coach & my wife has a stage 1. They are great cars & the 427's are the best value in my opion. I'm talking to him now about a turned-up Ford GT motor (all alum. not the Shelby 500 motor) in a stage 3. Also talking to him about building me some 588 cube superchagered Ford's for my OL.

And let me guess it was the piston on the passenger side and the cylinder right ahead of it had a lifted ring land. The problem is the fuel system can't keep up. Its even worse on a nitrous car with anything over a 150 shot.

You can fix the fuel problem, thats easy enough on these cars, you can get all the fuel you need and then some if you want it. The problem is the factory stuff isn't made for large boost or big shots of gas.

i was looking at the supercharged saleens.. my wife wants a porsche 911.. im stuck inbetween both.. i think ill be happier with the stang....

Got my Roush...
The blower makes 5 Psi...

Congrats!! Great looking car.:ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:
