---Just got in it today, and oh boy it feels good to be back well, immediately i noticed differences between the Z and the mustang, alot of them were opposite of what i expected.


What i didn't expect: the Z has much more torque from low rpms, around 50mph in a high gear. odd right?

-As the rpms grow, torque on the mustang grows and grows until it passes that of the z's. the 07 Z was supposed to have 90% of its torque available from 2k rpms, so i guess i should have expected this.

-in first and second gear, the mustang scared me just a little.

-the new mustang handles WAY better then i thought it would. not as good as the z, but damn good nonetheless IMO.

Verdict-- NO REGRETS AT ALL.

the pics will tell the rest!

Never mind iclicked the link and say the description of the vechicle it is a stage 1 but still awsome all you need to do is get a roush charger and change that stage 1 badge to a stage 2 or 3 roush sells them too.

If ya put the roushcharger on it change it to stage 3, stage 2 is just the suspension and body kit. Nice car man.

Very, very nice. Congratulations.
I like the color keyed seats. That's a nice touch.

That intake looks like a BBk to me. Glad to see you back and Roush are my favorite type of S197 of all I'd love to get my hands on one. They just look even cooler than a base GT which looks so darn cool to begin with

Very nice. And your local police probably won't even notice you driving around the area, since your new car looks like such a sleeper. Oops!
