Wow this car feels huge compared to the jetta, almost like a truck. Can't wait till I get used to the car again

Well hood struts and grilles are going to be returned, not enough change for the money. Plus I don't feel like removing a freshly painted bumper and unbolting the hood. Money will be going towards stripes instead

Get the Redline hood struts instead. You don't have to remove the hood to install them. Then return the grill for stripes.

I'll have to look into those. Sadly return shipping was like $50 so that takes 1/4 out of my refund

But installed my 3.7 sleeper badges and green mustang registry decal today. Also deleted sound tube and removed the engine cover and strut tower brace

Those hood struts cost you $200? Shit, I paint like $140 for the redline struts painted.

No. Grilles and hood struts

3.7 badges on a 5.0... why? And what brand hood struts did you purchase? Sorry if I missed that but, I didn't see it if it was posted.

What Corvette does he have?

You will lose no matter what

Crimson600+HP 01-03-2014 07:37 PM

Mustangs tend to need almost 50HP more (possibly more) to compete with Corvettes based on my experience. On a back straight with an aggressive cammed C6 Z06 I was able to creep on him with the ProCharger. They are really lightweight, slip through the air, and can hook up very well.
