Thank you for the compliment. I assumed it was a rev limiter. I just didn't know it kicked in that low. I like your car too. Black is incredibly awesome color on a mustang. BTW, how is 5-speed fun factor for you? I have the automatic, and I find it still ample for my driving needs.

With out even being in neutral I have had mine to 5600-5800 range. Thats stock no tune no nothing. I have an 06 but that shouldnt make a difference.

You see guys, if you get an XCAL II you can do away with that lousy rev limiter and go crazy. Remember though, revs aren't free. When you get a sweet exhaust and rev it all the time expect your mpg's to take a nose dive.

Ohh man it is very fun. This was my first Manual that i have had the privilage to own. It gives you that little edge to rev the engine when you take of to get a little "look at me factor" that turns heads.

BTW- I had a white lowered s-10 and loved white and since I have never had a black car I thought it would be nice to have one now. I dont know if I will buy another one though. Cleaning black is worse then white I believe!

Yeah and I'm real **** about my car being clean too. I keep in the garage but with all the construction and arid area dust is pretty constant. Black though, with summer around the corner, yikes. It gets so hot around here that I'd have to wash it one quarter at a time.

Yeah its a beautiful color but hot as **** in 90+ Just means I had to get good window tint.

Yea white is really easy to keep clean. My last car was an 00 celica that was white. I go to school in Newark, and i could leave that thing for a month and it would still look clean. You could notice the difference when you washed it though. When i bought the mustang my original pick for a color was black, but my dad warned me about how it only stays clean for 5 minutes (he had a black 00 Camaro SS). So i went with the Vista Blue. Black is definately worse to keep clean. But when it is clean, god does it look SWEET!
