Looking great LPE. It seems some of the newer members don't understand the differences between different dynos, in different shops, in different states...especially Mustang dynos vs. Dynojets.

615rwhp on a calibrated Mustang dyno is ridiculously high for a pump gas, hydraulic roller NA build.

When you roll on the DJ, you'll open some eyes.

hold it, HOLD IT! I found it. I found one piece on this car that hasn't been polished. Do I win a prize? So you decided not to polish the rack? I'm pretty sure a few kittens just died.

Huge local cruise yesterday and finally had a chance to get it off of jack stands and pop the hood. Have a 250mi on the road and really happy in the stance and how it drives. Almost unreal how smooth and tight everything is.....until it creeps up in rpm

As much as I like the stealth appearance with the hood down, I think there's something missing. Thinking manta...SS emblems back on....

Thoughts and suggestions welcome...

I personally wouldn't do a full manta or even the new manta. What about a small red pinstripe that goes along the outline of the scoop on each side? Noting over the back of the scoop, just have the pinstripe run off of the back of the hood. It would break it up a little but still add a unique touch.

Something subtle that matches the color of the wheels perhaps... Maybe some carbon fiber hydro'ed emblems from Emblem Pros with a stainless outline..

How about a manta stripe in flat or satin black? You can do it in plastidip to see if you like it or not. If you do, cool, if not, peel it off.

I'm not telling him to do it permanently, rather spend $20 in paint and tape, spray it, see if you like it, live with it for a few weeks or so, then if you do, have it painted. If not, peel it off. That's what I did with my wheels. Plastidipped them for a week just to see, then had them powder coated.

Inside joke B...it's all good.

Def gonna do something along the lines of a manta. Paint to match the wheels, maybe some CF.....need a couple photoshop examples to confirm my thoughts. Either way, going to talk to a shop this weekend capable of the task.

Wow, I've been out of the loop. Great shots! I'm a fan of the "stealth" look.

No listing...yet. As we all know, everything is for sale . As of right now, I plan on an agressive show season next year at some relevant events. The car itself is back in the shop getting a tune clean up, intake adjustment, search for a few more degrees of timing and another spin on the rollers....hoping to bust this "heartbreaker" once and for all

Couple shots I've posted around here recently, but not in this thread. I guess a little more whoring wont hurt...
