Hey everyone, my name is Will and I am picking up a 2002 Roush Stage 2 convertible with just 23k miles in a few weeks. I'm pretty excited for the drive from Virginia back to Montana in a convertible Mustang (pretty sure that's somewhere on an all-American bucket list, no?) I'll get some pics up asap.
My current vehicle is a 2007 Chrysler 300C that I absolutely love. It's a 5.7 with cam/heads/headers/etc, 2800 stall converter and a 150 shot good for mid 11's with my open diff and street rubber. I keep saying that I'm gonna get a limited slip with 3.55's, but for one reason or another it hasn't happened yet haha.

So, being new to Mustangs I figured it'd be beneficial to join the community here and get a little guidance on what to spend my money on. I don't plan to make the Mustang faster than my C, but I'd like to give it a leg up on other local stangs. I will, however, enjoy having a manual transmission again. That alone makes up for any speed deficiencies as far as I'm concerned!

 

Here's the Mustang I'll be picking up in a few weeks! 2002 Roush Stage 2 5sp w/ 23k miles




And here's a couple of my C
And a personal favorite taken from a friend who's very into photography and such. Couldn't have been more than a few weeks after I brought it home.

Thanks! Glad to be here.

 

Welcome to MF!

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

Appreciate the welcomes!

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good starter mods? I've got 4500k HIDs on the way (please spare me the lecture, I know the housings aren't designed for them etc). But what about some mods that'll help it scoot along a bit quicker?

 

Welcome!

 

Nice! Congrats and welcome to MF.
