Fellow S197 Owners,

As a proud GT owner I feel obligated to maintain order; so to speak. I feel like it is my obligation to uphold Mustang's reputation at every stop light, next to the guy who thinks he car beat a S197.

Ialready have a basic understanding of go fast parts for my Mustang

E.g.
4.10 Gears
CAI & Tuner
Under Pullys

But I'm wondering what would be the most effective way of"going faster"

I'd probably cry if I lost a race against a non domestic

So any information regarding the over all goal of producing more power, and quicker ET's would be great. Of course without breaking the bank.

Unfortunately I don't have Turbo, Positive displacement or Dynamic Supercharger money.

Even weight saving advice would be helpful

I currently Drive a 2006 Windveil Blue GT Vert 5spd

that's a good basic set up you got right there.I have the C&L racer CAI/tune and with 4.10s going in soon it should really haul ass

A bit of a misunderstanding.

My current modlist includes: Antenna Delete, Removed Spoiler (Welding up the holes soon) & Anthracite Deep Dish Bullitt Wheels (20"x10" / 20x8.5") Expected to arrive July 1st.

The E.g. was suppose to be an example of a good basic setup.

Regarding Nitous, can you run a 100-200 shot with stock internals? And which is better Wet or Dry?

My main consern is that a Vert weights 300lbs more then a hardtop Coupe, and might slow me down.

I am currently trying to find the perfect mix of "go fast parts" and daily driving pleasure. I'd also like to pick up drifting; even though its just a fad. Basically I want to be able to hold my own in all aspects of car culture.


Future PlannedMod's
-Full SLP Exhaust (SLP LongTube Headers, SLP Short X Pipe Catted, SLP Axle Back Loudmouths)
-Steeda Underpullys
-Hurst Short Throw Shifter
-Full Synthetic Fluid Change (Royal Purple)
-Strut Tower Bracer
-JLT Intake & X Cal-2 (BrenSpeed) Tunner
-H&R Race Lowering Springs

I plan on getting my Future Modlist installed, and payed for by this time next year. Or sooner.

then you better get some tissues or build up your car. there are some pretty fast imports out there


but in reality........cai/tune, exhaust, 4.10's and some decent tires will be enough to take on most comers. get a whipple and you probably won't encounter anyone who will even give you a good challenge, save for a z06 or something.

Lol!

I was kind of hoping by starting this thread that someS197 ownerswould post there modlist, and 1/4mile times. But I guess I'm asking to much as a "Noob".

nitrous system is the best low $ bang for the buck.a 150 shot and a tune will put you in front of most cars. that will give you around a 12.5@112 1/4 mile car. with the rest stock. my mods and 1/4 times in my sig.

Best way to improve 1/4 et's is tires and driver mod.

13.7@103.7

C&L Street w/ Brenspeed 93 Octane tune, 3.31 gears, 5-speed, 2008 GT w/ 1500 miles.

Obviously the weak point in this equation is the driver, I suck at it. Having 3.73's installed soon so the driver-suckage will become even more pronounced. From what I've read once you start making more power the weak link becomes actually getting it to the ground. That, I think, is when you start getting into rear suspensio mods to get the traction you need.

The Vette w/ automatic and 2.73's is a simple punch and go proposition, will run 12.8@110mph all day long w/ no real attention paid to driving technique and not really hard on the car. The Mustang w/ the 5-speed is a much trickier proposition.

Best mod there is: Driver mod; become proficient at it and you'll smack around similar cars w/ more HP.
