You two guys are both soooo close to being over the top. All "mikestang63" needs is a blower and drag radials added to that machine to make it untouchable to most.
All you "90lxwhite" needs is a nice HCI package and drag radials with that new blower.
An HCI/blower Fox with good tires is hard to beat on the street! Once you get it to around 450-500rwhp with grip there's not much you can't outrun on the street.
Remember those new cars are heavy,, and running on OEM street tires. LOL
You don't have to buy new stuff either. You can save alot of money buying used parts. There's plenty of good used blowers and HCI's over on the Corral and on Craigslist.
Not sure how much money I saved but my intake, heads, and blower were all used.
The high dollar guys driving around in those new expensive cars look down on us 20-25 year old Mustangs. All our old cars can be sleepers. Mine is,,,I like to teach them a lesson.
All isn't always what it seems
Lets teach them some lessons Fellas!!
There is so much truth in this. It's very hard to beat a Fox chassis Mustang for performance. All the new stuff is very expensive and very heavy. It hits that magic weight to street tire limit very quickly.

It's the potential of the fox's that gives me a woody. I'm not sure how much more you could get out of those newer 4 cylinders... No one else has said it so I will: There's no replacement for displacement!
I'll always be a V-8 man (or should I say AT LEAST a V-8 man, nothing wrong with more cylinders!
)

To add injury to insult, a lot of the new V8 cars are getting better gas mileage than the performance 4 cylinders.

Im a 4 cylinder guy at heart. Ive wanted a Neon SRT-4 since they came out, after i saw a few 450-500 whp cars running 10's and still being able to drive every day comfortably. The 2.3 ecoboost is a punched out version of the 2.0 ecoboost in the focus ST. Guys are already getting 300 FWHP out of the ST with just a few mods. Id love to see what could be had from the 2.3

Most guys that buy the new performance vehicles, don't mod for 2 reasons... No money.. Don't want to screw up the warranty on a 30k car.. I'm gonna stick with my 25 year old car anyday. Making 400rwhp in a fox has got to be a boatload of fun in a 3,000lb car. I have not experienced it yet. But the measly gt40 setup with 260rwhp was fun to drive.
Or they just don't need to.
If you bought a new 2015 GT with the 420HP 5.0, what more do you really need? An exhaust maybe? A shifter?
I remember when the Skittles (SRT-4) were popular. Those lost steam quickly. I saw one for the first time in awhile and was amazed. It's like they all fell off the side of the planet. Dodge was trying to capitalize on the tuner market, but the aftermarket support for the car never came onboard to make the car have standing popularity. The dealer support was bad too. I had a friend who bought one around 2003. He made an honest effort of it with a boost controller and nitrous. The the MAP sensor died, and the dealership wouldn't even sell him one; said the part was unavailable. He ended up having to take a turbo PT Cruiser for a test drive, and the swap the MAP sensors out really quickly behind The Home Depot to get a working MAP sensor. Then it kept breaking CV axles. There was only one aftermarket axle available and it could hold the power, but it made the car practically unsteerable. He sold the car shortly after racing my MR2 which was a decade older. He beat me, but not by much. He figured if he could just barely beat an MR2 there was no chance his almost completely unstreetable Skittle would ever be able to hold a candle to the ever popular LS1 Camaros at the time. So he jut got another LS1 Camaro.

It's actually 435hp.. And yes I would like more please... Still higher powered stock mustangs out there. Gt500 to name just one.. Maybe if I had one of those I would leave it alone just because it's limited production

For the coyote mustangs, the axle backs are purely just for sound, not much of a power gain.

He probably enrolled in school to correct his grammar and has a life now unlike the rest of us. lol
The Focus used to be a good car. They have kind of ruined it. The Neon was horrible. It was also the fastest depreciating car for like 8 years straight.
