Guess Who's Back?
ME!!!! I'm back in the Mustang world, as of 3 hours ago. I just picked up a 2002 GT vert, Black on Tan with a 5 speed and 124,000 kms. It's pretty close to stock, with mild mods such as: Cold air intake, cat back magnaflows, Hurst shifter, Mach I chin spoiler, and a couple other little things. The first things I'm doing to it is changing the gears, probably to 373's, and light bar. Here's a couple pics from my phone. Once I get her all cleaned up I'll post better pics, but I'm glad to be back in a Stang!!!!

Thanks everybody, I really like the car, but coming out of a '12 into an '02 I'm thinking gears are gonna be the first of many acceleration mods I will be doing. It's not a dog by any means, but a huge change from what I'm used too.

Nice !! Don't fear the gear, 4.10's!!. 4.10's are not bad like most think. LOL
At a 120 or so my GT spins the tach at 2500/2600 rpms. The 5th gear in the tremec 3650 is a true overdrive gear compared to the t 45, and t 5's.

Yeah 150hp will be noticeable especially when you are missing a gear. I'm driving an 06 GT convertible as a demo and it feels a little sluggish compared to my old car.

Soooo, what can you suggest for really noticeable mods, besides the gears and the cai thats already installed? Any suggestions are welcomed.
