Exclamation Photoshoot of the V - with a side of 5.0 Stang

Washed and waxed the car and put a set of Nitto NT555 275/40's on the rear yesterday and I must say, I'm quite impressed with not only the traction compared to my previous 245's but as well the fit and stance these added to the car. Night and day difference in my opinion....






















Hope you enjoyed.

Unfortunately, no. There was a state trooper shooting radar about 100 yards behind where we were taking the pictures.

We have done some pulls in the past and I've put about 3 cars on him by the top of 3rd.

I'm pretty certain he's running h&r springs. Tmonttt are you still running without the shock spacers in the rear with the 275's?

That Cad has a great stance and look. I'm also interested to know what the suspension mods are.

Just H&R lowering springs, front and rear. That's all.

Still just sitting on H&R's without MM spacers. I'm afraid with the MM spacers, it would rub the fender.

H&R springs.

Nice photos... V looks great, but I'm not sure I like how the wheels look on the 5.0

As clean as my bud keeps his car, I really don't and haven't ever cared for the wheels. They just don't seem to really fit the car. In my opinion, they are to flat and don't show the depth that those mustangs have out back considering it's got some 315's on it.

I was on vacation in Cape Cod and I stopped at a vintage clothing store the G/F wanted to check out. I was staring out of the window in the shop, thinking about how drowning would be more fun. This white Volvo wagon pulled into the empty lot and parked too close to me, people got out then back in and left. I thought that was weird so I walked out to the car, 2 ******* door dings, left paint on the car too. The rest of the vacation turned into a hunt for the Volvo.
