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.
...another shot
