Quote from: Carpimp1987 -- this is from 2 separate posts
raced a new black mustang gt 2006+ form like a 55mph roll and was sitting side by side with his car for like over 5 secs and the front end picked up on the stang and it was sitting a fender and fender race for awhile and when he finally was starting to pass me it was a few more secs before he even got a full car on me.

Also went in a ride in a 13 sec SVT ford focus then i took him for a ride in my T-Bird we both where thinking the mustang was gonna kick my ass but my car kept up and we both where wrong. Car takes off fast from a dead stop but i did not think it had that much mid range and top end.

ran it 6 times 16.30 being best and 16.45 being worse also end of the night ran it 4 times in a row so at least i know the car runs the same no matter how much i race it.

but i will try and get it paided off by the end of this year or sooner. So i can mod it a little bit.






Unless the Stang driver was not experienced or he was messin with ya.....then yeah

Sorry aint happening.....

Actually I like those rims on there......ALOT.  I had someone do a photochop of em on my car on the board when they first came out.

I do believe if you stick with that silver and blue paint scheme it will look real good.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

ITS more for the Cougar XR7 since it should be making over 400RWHP on low or stock boost but still fun for the DD.

The TC 8.8 rearend is making noise so i gotta take the one of my wrecked T-Bird and swap them out soon also taking out the amp board to clean up the trunk and make it a little more sound proof.

Anyone pay much attention to the Shelby Redline GT500s i was thinking a TC hood and TC nose and TC front bumper with fog lights and those GT500 wheels and add my old spoiler and 2 red racing stripes and the side stripes for the mustang its another $1,500 tagged on the price tag also comes in black with red stripes but just a idea i got about 10 to think about or change around a little bit for right now but i got 1 year to make up my mind and do something about the paint and body and wheels.

Black and white?Maybe it'll look good as long as it's not black with white stripes.That would look like a skunk.LOL.

Well it has to do with where there colors split and where there will be 2 different styles of the new GT500 wheels and the embelms will be 2 different colors.

So when it comes down to it all it has to do with is a One of a Kind T-Bird that will have to different sides to it and the looks will be close on each side but slighty different. Also it has to do with breaking the rules of car design and making something not 100% new but still has not been done down to every detail i plan on doing.

P.S. Haystack i gotta move out in like 6 or 7 months but hopefully its not as bad as you say.
