Wow.....all that S197 hate. I love it. I especially love it when the New Edge GT guys talk about how ugly they think the new Mustangs are AFTER I hand them their *** with one hand.
S197 hate from F-body guys doesn't bother me as much.....you guys are SUPPOSED to hate Mustangs.

Damn some of you guys really hate the S197 stangs. I don't dislike them at all but i think thats because two of my very good friends drive them. I ride to work in a lightly modded 05 GT all the time. Its not a turd for sure. My other friend has bolt ons and 4.10s and he ran a 13.0 at 108.8 (almost 109) So they can be pretty fast.

Good kill..
GTs are GAY!! Test drove a few before and they ain't worth a nickel..my opinion. Yeah they can be made fast and whatever but so can a wagon. Majority mustakes around here are all talk w/ exhaust and no big bite.
I know blah blah blah.... sorry if truth hurts some of you mustang kiddos

Well......I'd hope so. I only paid 200 for this whole set brand new (18x9s and 18x10s). Cheap cheap rims, but I needed something to stick some fatter tires on.....plus they compliment the car well. Yours look pretty trick too.
Que the nasty anti-mustang comeback......

Thank you sir. 
I was asked by Nine Ball (former owner / current admin).
I previously owned a 11 second daily driven LS1 and my next
project will be a forced induction LSx y or fbody. I've been here
for years and I have a pretty good understanding of the LSx
application. There are a lot of long-time LS1 guys here that
PM me on a regular basis for help...as well as new guys.
Well, chances are you're right because you'll probably run up on a stock
one. You do understand though that in the grand scheme of performance
cars, you're at the bottom of the barrel. Granted, I'm not much farther
up...just a few seconds. The difference between you and me is that I
know that there is always someone faster.
Unfortunately, my buddy sold the following car. You'd have a new
appreciation for 05+GT's if you ever run up on a car like this. Again,
it's not the fastest car in the world, but 140+mph traps in a pure
street car are enough to dominate almost every car (and bike)
on the road.
770 RWHP (no nitrous)
They looked great 10 years ago before everyone had them!
...and "around here" your car is the one that is all talk w/ exhaust and no bite.

Here ya go. Setup's pretty tame right now....Saleen Series VI twin screw making about 408rwhp on 5 lbs of boost. And she's riding on a full road course oriented suspension (CHE, BMR, Steeda, FRPP). Full exhaust and 8 lb pulley are soon to come. Haven't put her on the track as of yet..........she's just a weekend highway toy for the time being.

Looks awesome! I love the way the saleen blowers look. I think a cowl hood would really look sweet on your car, the stock flat hood is kinda boring. I hate when cars come with plain boring hoods, like the Z28's 
. Don't mind some of the haters.

The GT that Unit posted a pic must be a beast! Is there any vids of it in action Unit?
This blood looks like you have a nice GT with the "bite" to back it up
