Hells yeah I like my Mustang. I built it from the ground up, check out this VERY summerized build thread I made.(pics on almost every page) https://mustangforums.com/forum/5-0l...ang-build.html

I don't know how this new suspension acts yet but I'll let you know after I drive it this weekend. Just got an alignment today and it is still at the shop. (Never had any kind of grinding issues before the new suspension though.)

I really love the way your car sounds. With the mods that i am talking about doing will it sound similar to this? as i stated before i am 17 and im sure u know how important it is to look and sound good.

Meh, I'm not real hip on the sound right now(Plus the sound quality SUCKS on that camera). Those are some OLD rusted out flowmaster turndowns that came off my donor car. I just haven't purchased what I want for exhaust yet. I am torn between dumps and pipes. I know I want MAC Pro's though.

It will probably sound similar, depending on your cam.

reading that thread seeing how u want to drive it on saturdays u need to take it down to Dales Gap(the dragon) thats where all my friends go on saturdays. Its a dangerous but one thing I promise you is that you will come out knowing your car better than ever before. 312 curves in 11 miles

Since you have the crapOD you also need to get a stall converter and a shift kit installed in that thing. THAT will wake up that car!
