This weekend I finally got around to installing the MGW shifter that I had sitting In my garage since September. Man! Does it make a difference. Anyone looking for a little crisper shift and eliminating the moving 3rd gear this is the item to get! Amazing product and not a bad install.

Yeah your right, don't believe the car salesman, but at least I didn't pay for something I didn't get or they'd be some mugs a cracking at the lot. It does have 3.73 with a GT posi that is on the window sticker and I ask the Mustang Technician. Yeah I got Tech's you don't think I packed on 60+ HP, sh*t I don't know what Bembro's look like. I dyno'ed at 410 at the wheel and 1/4ed in the 12's with 118 trap(on the Dyno the car hasn't tracked yet). Soon I'll have the two GoPro Hero3 mounted on the 5 point harness bar, the rear seat is useless to humans now and if you want to recline nope. Completely gutted the suspension added an aluminum one piece driveshaft last tires and she's ready. Should have gotten a Boss, would still have an intact warranty but you can't get heated seats.

Nothing wrong at all with what you got, Frank. I was just trying to let you realize that you got hosed if they sold you on that.

I lowered my Race Red GT/CS, Sorry but I'm not sure you'll get as dramatic an effect with a White car. Start washing it will be dirty all the time. As for my brakes, I don't think I'll need Brembros. I don't race on a track and our Strip has a pretty good run-out, so Boss low expansion lines and some ceramic pads should do pretty good. I went from 11" on my 06 to 14.3 on the front of this one so you can only stop as fast as the guy behind you.
So the $4K will go to future Mods: Kooks Long Tubes and catted-X to my axil back Sports. Until FR came out with those double tip monsters the Sports were the top Shelby muffler. PnC my heads the above exhaust and a 84.5 Throttle Body on my Boss intake and I'll poop my pants. All this will be caught on my GoPro Hero3 Black cameras.
Until I get the anti-submarine strap bolts welded into the floor the 5 points are useless.

I'll just put some red caliper covers on it. And it does feel different with a one-piece aluminum driveshaft. I also heard some complain about the shift so a Barton with lower bracket is great but also add a steel braided clutch hose.

Warrior17 get ready to go gas shopping - 10 mpg for 500 mi then 15/17 you'll hit 20 at around 1K and I haven't gotten pass 1K yet but I'm hopping for 24 mpg. But It's a fun per gallon car not a commuter.

Your last one had the 11.6" fronts? Dang those are tiny. FYI the brakes on your beast are 13"

How do you like the shifter? I gotta get around to that

I looked at my window sticker and saw 14.3 but maybe I'll check again not worried to much. Yes do get the Barton or FR. The Barton is recommended by my shop??? but if you want to splurge the FR is about $100 more. What ever you get try to get the double bottom bracket. That's what makes it work. The Barton goes two fingers one to two, palm up to three, two fingers back to four, speed shifting. I still have to focus on not doing the Six to three when I want to do a fast Six to Five for freeway passing. Not pretty if you do it in front of confused fellow motorists. Also a braided steel clutch cable will not bulge and will give you crisper shifts. It 1/4 mi Dyno's just in the 11's but what I do on the actual track is just speculation, even with a reverse lock-out I've seen people put it in rev and then forget to take it out after they staged. He still beat that Pick-up truck though. The after markets have a tougher RevLocOut, I slap it down and in when I'm doing a J turn in traffic, It could cause some trouble in a panic situation. Better build-up your right arm next time at the gym.

I took delivery of my black GT/CS...did manage to get the order changed for the 3.73 gears. Since then...

Have installed a Roush square tipped axle back coupled with the Roush rear valence, window louvers, side/rear splitters, Steeda Sport springs, Steeda CAI/Bama tune, and staggered Avante Garde wheels with Hankook tires.

Love this car.
