320/340
L/T catless mids and stock catback

Thanks, it has pushed my patience thats for sure. Fighting me with every repair/mod I have done. Its squared away now though and Im just driving it to try and enjoy it. Just needed a change of scenery really from owning 2 new edge stangs back to back. I have come to appreciate the plentiful and cheap parts of mustangs though.

This is where I don't understand the GM guys' statement of dollar per horsepower crap...

Typically just motor-wise.


It's all the other **** that costs more in terms of the GTO. A MGW shifter is $335 and any decent shifter worth putting in is around $250. My aluminum 3.5" 1 pc driveshaft (stock was 2 pc) was $600 when a FRPP aluminum one for the stang is $300. Stangs don't have radius rod bushings and don't have strut mounts that go bad....nor rear springs that sag and cause rear tire wear if not replaced lol **** added up quick for me.

The WS6 looks great....from the front. But the back of them looks like A$$ to me. I HATE the HUGE rear bumper cutouts for the exhaust that are filled with dinky tips lol I have yet to see an exhaust tip I liked on those cars. Not to mention the camaro/firebird interiors suck.

I bet that I will get back into a mustang someday. They are just too easy to mod/fix and to do it on the cheaper side to not own one as a fun toy.
