It's absolutely hilarious when it happens. It's happened to me quite a few times, though that was the first time anyone stopped. The best thing was that his woman was with him. Must've been embarassing. He'll probably be calling ProCharger/Vortech within a few weeks.

...the auto is pretty horrible though.
At first I thought you were talking about the S197. I guess "new edge" is the last of the Fox bodies, right?
S197? Tell that to scrming........his car would stomp your ***

hey wait a minute... how did I miss that post??? LOL!

The automatic is not all that great from the factory... it's upshift happy (3rd gear at 16mph at light throttle! LOL) and the shifts are incredibly smooth, meaning SLOW... it's more like the car slides from gear to gear rather than actually shifting! That being said...spend $400 on an X-Cal2 and you've got one mean automatic! My car is NOT upshift happy... i don't come out of 1st until almost 18mph! ANd when it shifts you friggin' better believe you'll feel it!!! The X-Cal really fixes all the short comings of the factory programming!

Now as far as *** stomping... I would gladly do it... if I'm unavailable I'm sure Rygen would gladly fill in! LOL!

It really is, considering that the v6/4 is what has kept the mustang alive, and how is a v6/4 any less of a mustang, i guess the svo, mustang II's, and all the early mustangs were not mustangs at all??
