Hello 08 Mustang GT!

I had the opportunity to ditch the civic (note the engine grenaded last month) and pick up an 08 GT 5 speed for an awesome price with dealer cash back, etc. Special thanks goes to Steve Hillerman, fleet manager at Perry Ford for his efforts to find this car. There were only 2 white gt coupe deluxe mustangs in all of California.

As appealing as that is, this vehicle is not going to Fastlane in Houston. I would recommend they open a San Diego shop though :)

Call Jim Bell at Kenne Bell and see if he will get you a Supercharger for starters. There are plenty of parts that can turn that car into a serious Muscle Car. And dont forget you need to change your computer when adding a supercharger. We dont want you to throw parts at anyone going down the Highway.

You can get High Performance heads with cams, bigger injectors, better intake and exhaust,High Performance cats etc etc. You can get sims so you wont get a check engine light. Better suspension front and rear.

The skys the limit on this one.

Congratulations and enjoy it..... Oh and be safe. 600 HP can be lethal.

Congrats on the ride Jason.

First thing is remove that front plate.

Be careful when boosting it if you go that route. The bottom end is only good to about 450HP

All this time I thought superchargers were plug-n-play?

That's at least 100 percent manlier than the Honda. Nice job.

Did you at least save the rainbow sticker off the Civic, so you don't have to buy a new one?

MichaelS Perhaps you thought I meant to put another computer in the car but what I meant was to re calibrate the one that is in there with a programmer or a chip is all.

Unfortunately its not quite plug and play but its pretty close.

And Jason ..... Richard is right. Dont go too crazy with boost as your bottom end is only good to what he says. 450 rwhp. About 8 lbs is max.

If you had the SVT bottom end with the dual over head cams you would be good to use a boost as high as 32 lbs with race fuel. Jim Bell experimented with Earls brand new Shelby Cobra and got 800 hp out of it. It was in one of the magazines. Turned out it was just too much HP for the car so they took it down to 600.

Interesting because Shelby then came out with the Super Snake package which oddly enough came out to 600 HP also.

I think that V8 needs to come out and a V10 should go in. Ford built one a couple years ago

Hell, an all aluminum V10, a few carbon fiber parts here, a relocated battery there, some lightweight interior components, and some colon cleanse for the driver, you'll be under the stock weight in no time.

A v10 would be cool since they pull 550 foot pounds stock but it's also a heavy motor.

I have other plans in mind that will all show up on MOTORZ
