Exclamation Silver Is Better

.....Well, this is what temporarily is replacing the L until the GEN III's become available.





Its only a V6, but with the new heads on the 99+ models, serious power numbers could be had. Especially with the 4.4, and 4.6 STROKER kits available. And with the weight of the V6, this thing could really fly....
With under 300 miles on the clock, I couldn't resist doing some work to her. So into the EMPTY POCKETS GARAGE for some modding.

So....in goes the NX kit, and the battery to the rear. Not to mention a DIABLO chip.

Converted the Winshield washer reservoir into the coolant reservoir, eliminating that big bulky platic jug in front of the radiator, and tucking it inside the fender. Talk about a light front end......



And last but not least.....2 coats of ZAINO so far.




Thanks to FORD and EAA for the 0% finance, and the X-plan. And of course the TAX-FREE state of DE.

GO FORD!!

Nice ride, how much juice are you going to run.
Any Ideas on what it will run in the 1/4?
Did you lease it?

well at least it is the right color.

If I remember the V6 are 200hp, so with a chip and NOS I bet it will go pritty good.

Jeff,

I will be starting with the smallest jet's, and working my way up to the 150's.
My golas for this car will be high 12's, daily driven. With BULLIT wheels, and a lowering kit, the stance will be much better.

Mondo,
I plan to specialize in them...So it's good for the business. A v6 with a 4.4 stroker WILL out run any GT by a couple of tenths.

Andy,
That was the selling point last. 3 car garage with a pit and 2 acres..... and the house of course,PARADISE for a bargain.

200 HP stock @ around 3100 lbs unstripped not a bad start for power to weight ratio.....

You know I've always wanted to see what a built up 6cyl stang can do.

Spiro - how about a Paxton or Vortech? And who makes the stoker kits for it?

Thumbs up

Hey Spiro99SVT:

Very nice ride you have there Spiro..

I plan on getting a Gen III also when they are available, this is my first year in a Gen II, you had a couple years..

I've been tempted to add a Mustang to the old corral at my house, a friend of mine has a S281 Supercharged Yellow Saleen that is beautiful and I would love to have one.

Hey man.If you can go into the 12's with that car I will be seriously impressed.The average blown Cobra can muster mid 12's.Even with a 4.4 stroker and juice,I'll be impressed.You'll need to be around 415 H.P. to do that.Thats over 2ce your power now!You'll be famous (not to mention well off financially) if you can do it.I wish you luck in your endeavor.keep us posted, Bro !
