m4a1mustang's 5.0, S2000, and other cars thread

thats what we all say.. When I got my Z I said no boost for a year until I could get all my other mods out of the way and I had a couple projects for the truck I wanted to complete.. that didnt last long! I think I have only put 3-400 miles on my car since I bought it in december before giving it to Tony! Does the mustang feel as confident in the corners, or do you have to feel a little more on the edge to carry the same speed through the twisties?

I said no mods until after one year, that lasted like 6 weeks and less than a year later I was boosted.

I had the cash in my hand to buy a supercharger or TT. Was leaning towards supercharged. I debated for quite a few weeks around the begining of the new year and decided not to do it. Worrying about reliability was ultimately the deciding factor and I decided against it. I threw some of the money into buying Koni Yellows, pads and rotors instead. Eh, maybe she will eventually see a supercharger sometime later in her life. I know I would love the extra power!!

Lots of confidence (driver dependent), but yes, the Mustang is more on edge. The Z is more point and shoot with understeer to keep most everyone safe. The Mustang is more neutral and rotates a lot easier, so you need to be comfortable handling a car that likes to rotate pretty freely. Stock for stock they would carry roughly the same speed but just went about doing it a little differently.

With the new suspension it's a completely different animal, of course. MUCH faster.
