LMAO. I was being sarcastic. The new GT's are far from the slowest Mustangs ever made. Mustang II ring a bell?? Not to mention those poor, poor NPI 4.6'rs.

No, no vids of my car.....least not yet. Once I'm done with my exhaust and I pick up some DR's I'll be going back to the track. I'll get my wife to shoot some vid. Dunno when that'll be though.

LMAO. Well, don't laugh. I made my first few trips down the 1/4 mile in this car last week at the local track. It was........shall we say.............a "learning" experience.

1st run I ran a 13.6 at 110...
2nd run I ran a 13.3 at 110...
3rd run I ran a 12.9 at 111...
4th run the car got almost sideways on me at the top of 2nd gear and I had to let out...

I decided to call it a night after that run. But hey.....I got out of the 13's

The car just doesn't hook worth a damn on these 40 sidewall street tires (BFG KDW2's). It was squealing most of the way down thru the 1/8 mile marker before planting itself. I've decided not to go back until I get some DR's on the car. I'm figuring the car should be good for low to mid 12's with some traction and practice. Can't wait.

Car doesn't have any exterior mods other than some 18" TT knockoffs. I am planning a "stinger" style hood down the road though. Tired of staring at the aircraft carrier deck in front of my windshield.

Yea, it'd be cool to have an SS like Darkhorse's to roll around town together with............tag team terrorizing the local rice and whatnot.

Thanks.

Yea, toning down those turn indicators are definitely on the agenda too. I've considered maybe going with the clear ambers up front....looks very clean on the black cars. Also considering some blackout tint for the main headlight covers. Then its on to some limo tint for the greenhouse....."mafia profile" as Darkhorse put it.

No plans for any funky bodykits or anything of that sort. I think a new hood will make me plenty happy with the overall finish. I like my body lines lean and fast, not bloated and tankish.
