And a dog. You spoiled the surprise damn it.

 

Top two HDR pics with Aerowerkz logos make it look darker (and prettier) than it actually is. My two smartphone pics at the bottom are a better representation, perhaps not as sexy though.

 

******. I try not to like mustangs. Having trouble not liking this one.

 

To date I have convinced at least two friends to buy them after giving them a ride then letting them drive. Three other freinds shopping but haven't pulled the trigger yet. It's a bit of a game changer. If it's in the budget, I don't think any other car in this price range is as good, or as good a deal.

I wasn't a "Mustang guy" either until the FR500. That car made me "Mustang Curious". Then the GT350 dropped and I was converted.

 

To be fair, most of them sucked until the s550
Now I will drool over this thread

 

Yah, IRS vs live axle was the tipping point.

 

At least the crowd will see it coming

 

You kidding? They have their phones out recording in shaky, obscenity laden portrait mode as they succumb, I want them to know it was me. Gotta own it.

When does the MKTurbo kit for the gt350 come out?

 

When someone gives me one to build on. Then goes and figures out the ECU for tuning.

 

So the factory 9 speaker system is comically bad. Like rent a car tinny. No subwoofer. Pulled one of the package shelf OEM 6 1/2" speakers. Magnet couldn't have been more than 4oz.
Front end is good and 3 way amped though. So I'm replacing all the OEM speakers with mid level Focal component speakers and a a subwoofer with separate amp in the trunk.
Car has no OEM spare, just a foam block with compressor and can of tire goo. I didn't want to carry the weight of the subwoofer/amp on track so I asked them to build a removable box with quick release connectors and a slot for the tire kit. Whole think is a FRP structure that lifts out.
Not quite done yet, this pic is WIP.

 

Very nice!

 

Are you going to be able to hear that little sub over the exhaust?

 

What exhaust noise. He is getting a MKTurbo GT500 setup with 2 giant mt.net approved mufflers installed. Then we are going to add some V6 badges and go troll people in Mexico.

 

I imagine it will be better than no sub, which is how it left the factory. I'm not an audiophile and the car is not about blasting 120db gangsta rap at Cars n Coffee. I simply can't hear or make out what is on the radio when driving on the highway. It's that bad. If I crank the volume enough to make out details or hear lyrics, it's just painful noise. I'm spoiled by the amazing OEM Alpine system in my Ram 3500. That's like 10 speakers and a single 10" subwoofer under the back seat. That is the best audio system I have ever owned, mobile or otherwise.

 

Audio is important in a daily-driver or road trip car. That's why I sport a JL Audio Stealthbox in my '93. When I was tracking the car, it was dutifully removed each time (required for installing the removable roll bar, in any case).

 

Yup. I was really surprised and how civil a highway car it is. Rumbly exhaust but very muted unless you boot it. Magnetic shocks are firm but quite supple even on bad pavement. About like 800/500 Xida race on a squeak/rattle free NB. Seats are awesome.
I hadn't planned on putting money into the audio system but the car deserves it.
