      I have always been a fan of this car. And I finally got around to buying this very same car about a month ago. Octane Red, automatic, fully optioned. Very happy with it. Since I took delivery of my car I have replaced the mid mufflers with Dynomax Race Bullents and replaced the stock exhaust tips with quad black chrome tips. Then I replaced the stock air box with the Hellcat air box and a K&N filter. Currently waiting on a Billet Technologies oil catch can and a set of Octane Red fuel rail covers to dress up the engine bay.

      I could'nt agree with chris anymore.
      I NEVER have owned a Mustang but i have wrenched on many.
      Been a mechanic for 33 yrs, with my own shop and engine rebuild shop in back. My 6 full bay garage ive owned for 25 years. I used to do engine rebuilds in the winter only or the rare occasion that we were slow.
      So 18 yrs ago i built a machine shop That has a huge BAY THE SIZE OF 2 1/2 STANDARD BAYS SET ASIDE FOR REBUILDS.
      NOW I DO REBUILDS UNLESS i have some of my original customers that ask for me or we are busy then of course i go and help the guys out.
      Anyhow although not owning one, never liked the regular everyday comfort/ roadfeel or the roominess. Not too mention, the 60s and early 70s muscle the mopars were 90% quicker all around and heavier and gave a softer feel when on bad or just OLDER rough roads. The mustang has been better at cornering but that was usually ALL through those years. Then ma mopar went mini van and k car. They ended up saving her but ford was quicker for awhile until the OMNI.
      OH , I MEAN THE GLHS, TURBO DAYTONAS, SHELBY CHARGERS SRT 4 AND 6,S THEN VIPERS, HEMIS. NOW?? FORGET IT.
      DRAG PACKS TAKE CARE OF COPOS AND COBRA JETS.
      DEMONS AND RED EYES TAKE CARE OF MUSTANGS AND CAMAROS, WIDEBODY SCATS TAKE CARE OF THE LIGHT WORK AND NOW.... THE 1320 RUNS 10.6 N/A THE FASTEST N/A AS WELL.
