Dint caught my attention, the car look blank. Should have put in a nice set of wheel, tint the window. The blue interior is borning.

I just don't see it as much of a street sleeper. I think it's more of a total sleeper. It's hard to make a 4.6 with power N/A. It was a truck engine Ford slapped in the Mustang so that they wouldn't have to build a performance engine. You can't fit a 4.6 in with conventional vacuum power brakes, that's why all the SN 4.6s had hydroboost.

If i remember right, the 05 and later GT's used a regular vacuum booster instead of hydroboost.

Properly set up manual system is not a braking downgrade as many people think.

No? It wouldn't wear you out on the way to Sonic?

I'd need to see the quality of workmanship.

What i've found with magazine cars, having seen a few in person, is that they look professionally done from a distance, but whe you actually poke around, you do see a few corners cut here and there sometimes

20 footers. Where you seeing these mag cars?

Looks to be a 3v 4.6 not a 4v... big difference

What did the fore mentioned come in?

 

[tamadrummer88]

Even though its a rolling MM catalog, i can't see doing all that but still retaining the stock 4 lug brakes.

No. A proper manual setup allows for more leverage at the pedal and a large bore Master cylinder.
Move more fluid with less work.
It's not "better" than a power setup but it's not the flinstone style you think it is

 

[tannerc91gt]

05-10 GTs.
Newer f150s and expeditions. Pretty much the same idea as the 2v 4.6s before. And 5.0s before

I know alot of people with magazine cars and it's usually the case. Which doesn't bother me, i'm no pefectionist, that's for sure.

As for this car? It's nicely done. If it was a better powerplant i think the price would be well worth it. I also think de-sleepering it would help too. Why would i want a car that looks like my grandma owned it?

I really do think sleeper foxes are stupid. I'd think this guy had a 4cyl and not race him, so he'd let it rip, and i'd still be sitting there. Not sure what that proves, that i got tricked?

For some reason I reeeally like that car. I guess the "very capable" grandma car appeals to me. Already asked the wife and she said no!LOL
I agree that if it had a Coyote in it, it would have been a alot more appealing package. However, that engine would be alot of fun with a 100 hp kit installed.

Its easier to ask for forgiveness......

Yeah that has worked well but not this time. LOL Too much money at stake.

That's why I said SN Mustangs. The thing they call a Mustang now is a fricken aircraft carrier. You could fit just about anything under the hood of it.
