Need to post dyno, mods, track time, etc..

DanB · 02-20-2008, 10:53 PM

Did you get all options on that car?

TJ4Cam · 02-21-2008, 07:46 AM

Nice, GT/CS is cool, I like them too....as long as you are happy and still in a Mustang life is good!

He just said what the sticker price was; not that he paid it

MachdUp1 · 02-21-2008, 08:52 AM

I ran into a white one while I was detailing the Mach at the car wash. Nice looking car. The driver claim 298HP on the dyno with just a CAI and axle back exhaust. Didn't sound right, but hey who am I to argue.

At the flywheel?

LNCHBOX · 02-21-2008, 10:58 AM

On those car you usually need to get a tune with a CAI, especially if you open up the exhaust at all, so 298 at the wheels wouldn't be out fo the question.

Congrats on the purchase, I love th CS in white.

Rustangin · 02-21-2008, 04:16 PM

Man I hope that's not what you paid....Everyone on the 70's show would say "double burn" to that one

Blackpony04 · 02-21-2008, 05:27 PM

I'm pretty sure he was just pointing out that it was fully loaded. Ford has $1500 cash back at the moment so he wouldn't have paid sticker anyway.

Great car BTW! I almost pulled the trigger on a Candy Apple Red GT/CS Convertible last week but decided the timing wasn't right for me (I'll either go for the 09 model or wait till next summer for a 2010). I most definitely recommend the GT/CS package over the straight GT. For $1900 it's worth it considering the wheels alone are a $925 option and I really like the styling. I'm guessing you got the $2,000 Navigation system as the one I priced out had everything but that and stickered at $37k.

blazinsteed · 02-21-2008, 05:31 PM

298 is a feasible. My 06 gt dyno'd 272 rwh stock.

mikeofwarr · 02-21-2008, 09:02 PM

I like the white C/S. sharp looking stang, how about some pictures!

silverbull271 · 03-06-2008, 09:51 PM

i paid 32K for the car.......i changed my mind on the way to the dealer....they had one in white and black....both identical just difference in color......guys, this car MOVES!....it kinda feelis like it DOESNT pull like the mach, but its decieveng...competely different perception of speed in the S197's

What a difference in cars! the build quality on these are BAD ***!

Here i am taking delivery

blazinsteed · 03-07-2008, 09:16 AM

Congrats, you will love it. These cars are great cruisers. I do miss the raw muscle car feeling of the mach though

wchamberlain · 03-07-2008, 09:55 AM

Good God, get rid of that 4WD kit you installed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it works for ya I guess, best looking stang is the new edge IMO

silverbull271 · 03-07-2008, 11:18 AM

Lemme tell you guys somet.....the AUTO on this car is a SHEER BLISS to drive!
No more "clink, and clanks" from that piece of **** manual

if i had to do it again, i wouldnt even hesitate....i had 2004 screaming yellow mach....i kept it bone stock....5spd, non-iup...car was garage kept with 12,000 miles on it......

I loved my mach1, dont get me wrong...but the S197's got it beat guys....i know im gonna get flamed being this is the mach 1 registry and all, but a spade is a spade.....

My mach 1 will never be forgotton, but my new GT/CS blows it out of the water!
