First off very nice ride. I want a coupe so bad I can taste it.
BUT, I've ridden in more than a few Stangs with 4.30's, and unless my eyes decieve me and those are like 30" tall tires on the rear, I call BS on the cruising at 75+ getting 25mpg. 4.30's with a 5sp in a Mustang is gonna turn rediculous RPM's with your avgerage 26" or smaller tire.
You've got to be turning around 3,5k with a 5sp, 4.30's, and 26" tall or smaller tire @ 75mph...

thanks for all the comments guys. i know this is ls1tech, but i've been on here for a long time, when i did have an ls1 car, a '00 SS Vert.
pssycotic.......i was gonna do an ls1 in the notch roller i have for sale, i just got tired of not having a car to drive around.
1sloLS1....HAHA....good call, thanks. yes, it is one of 2 child seats you see in the pic. my older son was sitting in there and leaning to the side to look out the windshield. nothing wrong with the front seats.
COMNBYU.........i topped off the very first tank of gas i put in the car when it came off the trailer. i set the trip odometer to 0, and after 290 miles, with a 1/4 tank left, i filled up the tank again, topping it off, and it took 11.21 gal! that comes out to 25.86 mpg! at 70 mph, i'm at exactly 2500rpm, and just slightly over 2700rpm at 75. 26" rear tires, 4.30 gears, and a .68 over drive ratio in the 5 spd. which bring then down to 2.92:1 final drive ratio. and again, the AC was ON! i will be test fitting 28" tires when these are gone.
NHRAMAN.....the exhaust is a Bassani mid lenght coated headers, into an off road h-pipe, and dual flowmasters all the way to the bumper! i love the way it sounds personally, and so do the other Ford guys here.
i'll post video as soon as i can get some.
again, thanks for the compliments guys. i LOVE the car!!!
