S197FORUM.COM is proud to announce member S197 GT as the 1st S197 Car Of The Month!

 

At a quick glance at the side, you would probably under estimate this vehicle on the road due to none of the standard GT badging. "Oh, watch me take this guy in this v6 stang".....YEAH RIGHT! I can just see the jaw of the guy thinking this as the last thing he would see is the S197 GT plate on the rear and the fading of the tailights as this car pulls away quickly!

You can tell that alot of time and pride have gone into the craftmanship of this S197. The list of mods seems endless and the power under the hood is ground shaking!

The sweet acoustic rumble of this S197 comes from the Pypes Off Road "H" Pipe ~ FRPP/Borla Stinger Axleback Mufflers (M-5230-5GT).

Helping the twin screw produce its power is Kenne Bell Boost-A-Pump ~ 39lb Cobra Fuel Injectors and a Custom Dyno Tune from Adam at ST Motorsports (spankintime.com) via SCT Xcalibrator 2 programmer.

Helping keep the S197 under control is R1 Concepts Drilled and Slotted Rotors ~ Hawk HPS Brake Pads ~ Earl's Stainless Steel "HYPERFIRM" Brake Lines.

 

As you can see, this car is far from stock and not to be taken lightly. Next time your on the road in Cali and see a black S197 on the road, better take a second look and make sure you know what you are up against. If you see emblems with blazing fire, you might want to reconsider!
