Here's my everyday daily driver. In it's day the fox body Mustang or "5.0" was a very potent pony car. As a matter of fact, in a Road and Track issue they compared a stripped down 5.0 notch against a highly optioned IROC Z 350 and the notch owned the Camaro in the 1/4 mile by 2/10s of a second. Not bad for having 48 less cubes!
All I've done as far as horsepower goes is added a 2.5" catback. More mods come later. I spent most of my money on the brakes, suspension, and wheel/tire combo so far. Last weekend my buddy and I did a complete 99-04 SN95 5 lug 4-wheel disc brake conversion, new rear w/ 3.73 gears, tubular upper and lower control arms, Eibach 2" drop springs, 5 way adjustable billet caster camber plates, 17x8 bullitt wheels and 245/45/17 Z rated tires. The sway bars and subframe conectors are on the way via the "brown truck". Eventually the wheels and tires will be swapped out for something different but I had these laying around. I may just put a 17x9 with a 275 out back and call it a day. Again, daily driver - keep it reasonable.
My goal is a balanced car that handles, brakes, along with good power - hey like pro-touring! I haven't driven it yet but hope to soon to see the difference.
The gols tape stripe will be replaced with a black one as soon as the weather warms up!
As I have said it many times before, wheel's/tires and stance can change the whole attitude of your ride.

The '06 GTO has the Australian Holden nose conversion, along with twin-turbos. 550 rwhp and still gets 25 mpg.

The '02 Firehawk is stock (except wheels/rotors) with 9K miles on it. They only built 16 of them like this, so it is going to stay mostly stock as long as I own it.

The '06 Viper is pretty much a "modern musclecar" as you can get. It is bare bones, nothing fancy inside, and has a 510ci engine.

I don't know if my car counts as 'late model muscle' since it's already 12 years old, but since I've had it for 11 of those 12 years It sometimes doesn't seem that old through my eyes.

Before there was navigation, blue tooth, and onboard hard drives just for your audio listening enjoyment....There was the LT1 Camaro Z/28. Factory equipped with 285 horsepower, leather, and a positraction....This car was a few modifications away from knocking on a Corvette's door.

Now, Add a little camshaft, a set of headers, a gear swap. Withdraw 25 grand or so from your checking account, and Walla! You have the makings of the baddest ass $6,000 car of the planet!!!:thumbsup:
