Ever think about supercharging? With your list of mods your about 1/2 way there in the price of an xcharger :wink:

First of all, thanks to all for the salutations and ideas! As for your suggestion RedFire, I have definitely thought about adding a supercharger, but I'm afraid of the trouble my better half would get into when she sneaks in the occasional solo cruise. Let's just say her right foot has restraint issues! Also, if I'm not mistaken, I think a new rear end would be in order to handle all that extra power, and probably a new drive shaft, because I believe the v6's are limited to around 180 kmh to keep the d shaft from blowing apart.

I am still toying with this idea though . . .

Just beef up everything then you are covered

If I'm going to beef up everything, I'm tempted to pick up a new or slightly used '12 3.7 - great deals on these right now in my neck of the woods. Colour is an issue though; I really love my Limer. Decisions, decisions . . .

I hear ya! The 2012 3.7 is putting out some incredible power, a smart buy for sure!
Love the legend lime colour Ronnieo6gt has a nice legend lime with some tasteful mods also...Check out his gallery Here

Thanks for that link RedFire, Ronnie06gt's ride is very nice. I hope to have mine looking that nice again one day, but after almost 160,000 km & six winters as a daily driver, I've got my work cut out for me. Can I assume that the Mustang Pictures link at the top of the cmoc page will allow me to check out everyone's ride?

Never mind my last post re: the Mustang Pictures link, I've answered my own question.

P.S. I took a look at your gallery as well. Love the 500, wish I could afford one, and also kinda wish Ford had left that front end exclusively for the folks who forked over the coin for a Shelby. Bet the bean counters had something to do with that.

Cheers, stev0h

if your 4.0 is paid for I would keep it

stev0h 05-02-2012 07:46 AM

That's one of the decisions I'm struggling with snakebite - no current payments is one of the nice features of this car. Even if I trade her in & use the 5-10 grand I'm contemplating putting into her as a down payment instead, I'm still looking at a hefty payment for 4-5 years.

Keep what you've got and get a supercharger. Don't worry about the drive shaft - when are you going to surpass 180 km/h anyways?
