I went with the Pro 5.0 because it's the only shifter I have used on my manual cars. It's the one my friend suggested. It's the one he used in his stick car when he one several street bandit championships.

So I guess you could say it came highly recommended!

Thanks Caution! Yeah the slow car thing is kind of one of those "Tongue and Cheek" kind of jokes!

Funny that you ask. We had our local Mustang show here on the 14th and the wind blew 40 mph the entire day. It was very cold! I was told the winds were brought in from the hurricane. Other than that we were fortunate we didn't see any other effects of the storm.

Stock they make about 440 to 450. Just depends. This is a real conservative tune, I could probably run regular in the car if I needed to (with Ike we were concerned about gas quality). I'll probably tune it out the rest of the way once all the commotion is over!

Well It's not really a DD. I have a brand new 08 Lincoln Mark LT 4X4 for that job!



I think I'm gonna keep this one pretty much the way it is. I have a CDC light bar that showed up today with a little engine compartment bling. Other then that I think I'll leave her alone!

I already have one car that thinks Strictly Performance is her home!!!!
