i guess that's the advantage of having a car shaped like a doorstop [sm=smiley36.gif]

For the record the TA was MUCH more popular than my other classmat'es 03 Mustang GT at highschool. Doesnt say much but my mom also liked it better than his. I guess that gives a several generation span opinion of it. I dunno, cheese wedge/brick. Take your choice.

I belive its 145 or 155. I lean towards 155 being the governor (SN95 platform) and can only imagine how long it would take to hit 155 in a stock 99-04 car. My TA took FOREVER to get to 130 and it had gearing/power/aerodynamics on its side vs. the 99-04 cars.

a mom's job is to always tell their kids that they are the best and most beautifull persons in the world, even if it's not true... didn't you know that ? [sm=smiley4.gif] ....i'm not gonna argue personal tastes, but i think the 8 to 1 sales pretty much spoke for themselves.

For what its worth the S197 is more aerodynamic than the new viper with a 0.37 cd vs. the vipers .039 cd according to motortrend. I think they even said the Ford GT has a 0.39 cd. But I imagine all the drag is actually downforce were it needs to be as opposed to the brick front face of the Mustang. The mirrors we have proly don't help either.

I need to get me some stiffer shocks and lower my car. I dont notice the hood on my car because I have hood pins, but I do notice my car feels like a boat after 120 miles. Starts rocking a bit and that scares the **** out of me. That is the main reason I bought adjustable LCA´s and Panhard because If you lower you gotta recenter your rear axle.
