Wow those are some huge brakes. Sounds like they really knocked it out of the park on this one.
I'm so giddy that there are a couple at work I get to see almost daily. I can't believe how the body has grown on me since they came out.

Yeah, I've always shunned payments for something that in ten years is pretty much worth 10% of what you paid new for, but ed if I wouldn't suffer payments for a new 'Stang. Have to be either the color of Carm's, or else yellow. Or red. Or blue...but I prefer the Guard's.

Carm..tell us now...have you really gotten out somewhere and put your foot in it? Does it have the balls of a 400+hp car?

Just think...a little over ten years ago, the Termi Cobra was rated at 390....with a blown 4.6.....my, my, how times have changed. I love it...just wish I could buy into the game right now lol.

Think about what junkyards will be like in the next 10-15 years...

Those of us will have junkyard budget builds with only 400hp, while a new stang or camaro will have a 1000hp quad turbo 1.3 liter 4 banger that gets 75mpg...

Ill probably still have a stock 150hp 5.0 and complain about how i had to upgrade to 20" brakes to keep my 4 lug cheap tires.

The underpan/belly stamping looks very similar to our '12 Mustang. The rear is a vast improvement over the solid rear with a Watts linkage the '12 has. Very impressive.

The only way any S197 had a Watts link rear suspension was if it was installed aftermarket OR it was a Dan Gurney edition car and those were of the 2005-2009 variety; I believe they were 2008 only. Otherwise, it's a panhard rod setup and one that doesn't impress me.

I swapped to a Watts link on my '05.

The Watts link is bar none one of the best suspension upgrades one can do to a solid axle S197. Don't even waste your time with an upgraded panhard setup. The factory panhard rod is, for lack of a better term, shiznit. When I pulled mine out at a scant 12,000 miles, it was bent.....

Doh. Meant to say panhard rod not watts linkage :hick:. Still have the factory panhard setup in the 12.
