What have you done to your mustang today?

[bunits19714]

Last night @ 2 a.m. (technically today) was on the way home from a evening out with friends, was on the eway and came upon a stretch of empty road way that is deemed non law enforcement patrolled, So I decided to press firmly on the go pedal and see how the car feels since I just put new 20" wheels on (200 miles ago) and just had the factory converter re installed and switched over to a n guage from a sct device. The car down shifts a couple of gears and screams all the to the rev limiter in 4th(about 153ish) I wasn't thinking and forgot it wouldn't shift at wot into 5th so the car bobbles for a split second shifts it self to 5th and im back in the throttle as the speedometer is wrapped past the 160 mark- I figured I was going about 165-167- car was so smooth- quiet, and stable compared to the drag pack I was rolling around on for the last 2 years. Would like to note that I have no under car splash shield on the car and didn't notice any hood shake at that speed- the plastic and metal under motor shield is still there thou. I looked over at my gf and said "the car feels pretty smooth" as we were still cruising at a 120- felt like we were only doing 70. shortened the ride time a minute or two.

My son and I installed the exhaust from my '14 GT onto his '05 V6 along with an '05-09 GT bumper cover. The H-pipe, intermediate pipes and both mufflers went in a little easier than we expected and the sound was way better than we expected. Made my day to see him super ecstatic by the change in sound and rear-end aesthetics.

Removed the front bumper to replace it with something new and much much better looking.

Andrew - If I could offer some advice on strapping a vehicle down so that it doesn't shift on the trailer during transit....

Always cross your tie downs front and back to ensure the vehicle doesn't move left to right. This locks the car down and keeps it from shifting in the event you are forced to take evasive maneuvers while towing. Straps in parallel will allow the vehicle to move side to side on a trailer.

Left front of vehicle to right front of trailer and right front of vehicle to left front of trailer.
Left rear of vehicle to right rear of trailer and right rear of vehicle to left rear of trailer.

Left front of vehicle to right front of trailer and right front of vehicle to left front of trailer.

Left rear of vehicle to right rear of trailer and right rear of vehicle to left rear of trailer.

Great advice. Thanks

Not quite new but I put an Axle Exchange 1 piece 4" Driveshaft on my 2006 Mustang GT in November. I can feel the difference with it in the car. Not to mention the Axle Exchange unit is one sexy driveshaft as well.

Your going to love the Paxton S/C Andrew as I had one installed on a buddies Bullitt Mustang a few years ago.
He still has the Bullitt and the Paxton has been absolutely (Trouble-Free) !!!

I also in the past have ran the Paxton Superchargers on many of the older Mustangs I had.

Never had any issues with any of them even back many years ago.

















Fun times are soon coming your way buddy maybe right around Christmas time.

Had an autox yesterday.
started off slow, as it was near freezing and the bridgestone RE71R's dont like it, but by afternoon, it was dry and almost 50F. With 2 drivers i did get some heat in the tires.

anyways took 1st place after PAX. Co-driver was 2nd in PAX 0.3 seconds behind.
I was the course designer.

ya. typically almost never shift out of 2nd. Often its faster to hold redline than to shift up and shift down in close succession.
