i would kill for a 1/4 mile of straight open road.. lol

yeah, i looked around a bit, and saw several SSP with 5 speeds... or umm 4 speeds.. lol

we used to talk about that with an 89 GT a good friend of mine had... who was the dufus engineer that spec'd 135mph gauges... lol course we also talked about why didn't they put a 351 or a 460 in there too..

lol, you should feel how much air gets pulled in between the windshield and the 'vert top. In that video i had my left hand on the steering wheel and the right on the top pulling it down after I shifted into 5th, lol

2.73? oh lawd.

My car came with 2.73's also, but I had 4.10's installed after two weeks of owning the car, lol With the AOD it use to have, I think it shifted out of first gear at WOT about 55mph with 2.73's

I have never put my car into 5th too keep accelerating before that video. shifted out of fourth around 6,000rpm, about 115-120mph, it was still pulling pretty damn hard in 5th

My 90 is an original SSP car from Fl. This is the best website that I have found as far as SSP facts/figures/data on these cars.

http://www.sspmustang.org/forums/

To the OP the car looks great!
