So, after 2400 miles...She's home! We HAD to stop into Mustang, Oklahoma, and grab a pic!









Home, sweet home.

The ride was great. the Brembo package made the bumpy roads a little...more bumpy, but I enjoy that from a sports car. We averaged about 22.5-23 mpg for the entire trip.

A great looking car. Glad you have a garage to keep her in.

Wahoo! Window tint and FRPP 'P' springs! I am just waiting on my GT500 exhaust, and she will be all done...for now.





I also learned the car came with a K&N filter, prob from the original owner. With the SVT Exhaust, the only part of the Ford FRPP Power-Pack I am missing is the hand-held tuner. Would you guys recommend the FRPP, or an aftermarket?

Race red is the fastest color...It has it right in the name. Any expert will tell you Red paint is good for at least another 5 RWHP

Don't forget that the dragon decal can add 100rwhp too... The guys from Japanese Muscle showed it on their dyno video...

I recommend an aftermarket tuner over the FRPP one. A lot places offer warranties with their tunes now a days.
