Just checked out your vid. Could you DD that thing? I'm seriously considering getting that stroked LS2/427 shortblock from Pace http://paceperformance.com/index.asp...ion=PRODSEARCH
with the TFS heads cam package. My only hold up is streetability as a DD. I that prolly sounds strange for a DD but even if I had another car i wouldnt drive it. Id put the 500hp cam with the LS6 intake i have with the package hopeing to make it streetable. Of course id get a stall. But what do you think. sorry to jack the thread

Probably not DD here in Colorado.
I mean...if I HAD too...I could. Snow tires would be a must.

Keep in mind...as the power level goes up, the traction goes down. Makes driving on any snow that much harder.
Personally...if you can afford to drop $10K into a motor, spend an extra $1K for a honda or something as a DD.

I wouldn't mind it, my friends base stang wasn't too bad... when he wasn't trying to keep up with me and getting smoked haha. and your exhaust sounds nice, i didn't expect it that loud. i have a lm1(i know i know it came with the car when i bought it) and its quiet as hell. i haven't had the money to change the slp, but once i get the money its gone i hate slp now. i won't ever get another slp part they're shit

Thanks, the set up is OBX LT headers and hi flow cats, y pipe and SLP LM2 cat back. I was nervuos puting i together, no one was running the OBX headers, and almost every one said fuck SLP. But it worked out and i love it. And i was one of those guys who used to say nothing sounded as good as a cobra w/flomasters. Speaking of mustangs. The black one is a v6 and its terrible. No power, brakes suck suspention sucks. I put some brembo rotors and sportline springs on it and it helped but the power is hopeless. My wife has a GT and almost as bad. LS1 All day.

Josh, that is a sweet lookin ride. Pics look great. Sometimes I miss my red decals but now, I'm enjoying a little less color. Trying to get the banner and sail panel decals removed this weekend.

Thats as much red as she will ever see. Gotta have a small balance of black red and chrome. I did have sail panel birds... first decal I got for the car. I was gonna go oldschool.. but wax built up around them easily and they didnt flow well for me.

We are basicly desert here. The mountains are the cold part of Colorado. I never completely put the car up for the winter because we always get random 60+ degree days every year.

See....

I did the old school thing too but I put silver metalic birds on my sail panels. I am thinking about the silver metalic strips too but everyone I told this to says no I got the red tent windows that fade up to black to draw in the T-tops my car is put away til spring but I'll get pics when I bring her back out
