Finally new GT stang on the way to performance class this morning, i come across a green 05-07 mustang gt. ive been dying to get one of these, so i get up next to him. see the hood scoop. but its black, like the one on the older mach 1's.
turns out the car is blown.
we go, without honks from him or anything.he jumps me about a car before i get traction (about 14 degrees out going 40mph). soon as i even up with him and start running away from him, he brakes. so i do and let him catch up. he jumps me again, i roar past this time, gaining three cars before he brakes again. wasnt that great a race, obviously this guy isnt familiar with the three honk system, but whatever a kill is a kill i suppose. just happy i got to run a new GT.

definitely not a GT500, i know what those look like. this was a normal mustang GT, with a black scoop, no striping of any sort, simply exhaust and blower from what i could tell. was an automatic as well.

his scoop had S/C in silver lettering and there was a faint blower whine that i could hear because my window was down, waiting for the three honks he never gave me.
if the race was from a dig or had it been warm out i would have killed him, i know because when i got traction i was passing him like he was standing still.

they dont make anywhere near 450whp, without changing the pully adding a intake and better breathing exhaust, and tune. stock they don even make 400whp

S281: body kit on a GT basically
S281SC: Saleen body kit plus spoiler, racecraft suspesion adds, Saleen S/C and tune, better brakes...
S281E: Body kit, spoiler, carbon fiber splitter and diffuser, forged internals with more boost and appropriate tune etc., more racecraft suspension mods, even bigger brakes...
