if you want gears for very quick acceleration get 4:10s, but prepare to die for gas mileage, i have to drive like an old lady to get 14-16mpg.....they rock for accel with my Nitto DR, but suck on gas and hiway, that is why i just bought 3:55's.....as for the taillights please change them back, i understand you like euro, but it is a mustang and id let it go, but it is a COBRA, maybe on a v6 you could get away with it casue no on ereally cares about those.....so stockers FTMFW, and yea get some seat time, they all take some getting used to, you should beat him but make sure you know how to dive it first, pick a good time and place, not some stupid maint st usa where there are a ton of cars and people you have to dodge...

Please for the love of god change back to the stock tail lights. Those make the car look absolutely horrible. If you really don't like the way the stock ones make it look like a regular mustang, get some blackouts.

lol, quit flaming my taillights. i might put the originals since most of u kno ur stuff. i ordered the 4.30s. idk if the exhaust are stock or not, has straight pipes and the car has a loud roar. took me a while to get used to a stick. but i think i drive it pretty good. beat a cobalt at a red light race. i live in rochester hills and most roads are pretty dead and empty especially GUn RD which is a decent straight away

Man don't mind about all the guys screwing with you about your taillights. Don't change them just because others have their opinions on it, it's yours that matters. I liked looking at my car and thinking how cool I thought it looked, not thinking what other poeple wanted.

watch out... guages add like 200hp, especially if he's got ANOTHER tach.. in case the oem one isnt enough, you put one of those flava flav clocks on your dash and suddenly your a race car driver.

but really, dont be an ***, take it to the track to have your fun... You'll even look cooler at school if you call him out and he wont go to the track to join you.
