Got a chance to go out today before the afternoon thunderstorms arrived and take a few shots.

Enjoy!

Great pics. We are planning another meet maybe July 26th? Where in Naples are these pics taken? Maybe we can plan a ride down to your area? Man you have to stop posting pics of your car makes me want to go in debt..lol. Great looking ride.
Looking forward to meeting you and checking out your ride. BTW when is the next ride across the alley?

DRLC6: Thanks man! Bayfront in Naples, some eateries/bar, shopping and condos/townhouses there. Nice spot.

Let me know when you will be doing something next time...would be nice to get something planned up! Next ride that I'm going to be able to make will be the 3rd Sat in August...

Talk to you soon!

Ok time to fess up, what are the "few bolt on's"? What I like about the GT500's is they are bad-a$$ looking enough so people know you got some juevos under the hood but you add some suspension kits like a Griggs Racing GR40ST and Porsches and Ferraris will want to know who just blew by them.

SHHHAAWEEEET. What is the RWHP?

I am sure you have found this site but svtperformance.com is an awesome Mustang site. My 1st car out of college was a 1 year old 1995 Mustang GT with 11k miles. I have this affinity for Mustangs that I just can't shake. Kids and a nice mortgage are my achilles now

Ok this is for my own education since turbo's are not my strong suit. Always looking to learn. Why would you turbo charge a blown engine? I have seen guys just add a bigger blower and get as much if not more HP then your setup? Is there a rhyme to the reason?

bad....its bc its just badass...no real other reason for doing the turbo+blower versus just a bigger blower or just a big TT setup.

Hellion also has a kit which removes the S/c...and I actually saw one yesterday at a meet.....talked to the guy yesterday from Blow By Racing, who owned the car.

Scott....car looks sweet man...hows it compare to the Z as far as power, driveability, etc

Easier to change boost levels on the fly (boost controller), some say the driveability is better--'the best of both worlds' low end grunt of the blower and the top end power of the turbos. As well as less parasitic loss at a given boost level compared to blower only.

Thanks brudda! Appreciate it. I'd like to see that other setup w/o the blower! Hopefully, as I posted in your thread, I will get over 'your side' and hang out and attend some meets this fall/winter.

Driveability on this thing flat out kills the ZO6. Gotta remember, the cam was HUGE that I had in the Z. The GT500 drives like a stock car until you mash the loud pedal! Power is hard to say...the power delivery is completely different between both cars. I'd say they are about the same, GT500 may have a slight edge because the ***** just keeps pulling! It does not want to stop...but I am lugging around another 800+ lbs too.

Anyway, with the limited ammount of time I have been able to drive it so far, I am LOVING it!

Later broski...
