Daily Driver Porn!

That's what killed the new 5.0 for me. Even the Boss 302 had terrible handling and brakes. After driving it, I went the next WE to get my STI...lol
My 5.0 has ast4150 coilovers, bigger front sway, and watts link along with square 18x10 setup with 275's. Itll straight thrash all but the best setup imports and domestics alike. The mustangs are widely known for their successful motorsport venturs even with the solid axle. Ive tracked all of my cars, and the S197 properly setup is fast man, you need to drive one that has a real wheel and tire package and proper suspension. All of the OEM stuff is junk.

All of my subaru's have been setup to the hilt as well.

I really do love the looks and they pull hard with the 3.76 rear end, just the new STI handled/braked far better stock then that Mustang would even after mods. The last thing that killed the 5.0 was also resale value. STI's hold much better value over 6-7 years.

If I were to never track my car, I would have bought the 5.0, I just didn't want to spend 32-35 on a 5.0, then immediately have to dump another 5-6k for quality wheels, tires, coil overs, sways, pads, rotors, etc...

Some ridiculous shots of the full Ti exhaust.


A normal SS system on the far side, Powerhouse Amuse full Ti close side. The system was one of three in the states at the time and literally slow boated from Japan. Deliver was like ~3 months.

Aint nothing like some titanium bluing fo sho! :thumb:
