    Am I the only one that likes the Mustang GT just as it comes from the factory?


    A new intake, a new exhaust, and new wheels if you must.


    But really, why mess with a good thing? It may not be as fast as other cars, it might have a slight handling deficiency compared to other cars, and the numbers might not be as impressive as these Saleen monstrosities, but it's just not always about the numbers.


    Sometimes, it's just about reliable, balanced performance, just like what comes from the factory in the case of the Mustang GT.

    I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that there does not yet exist an aftermarket IRS set up for the current Stang. If there does, please alert Google, because I was unable to find one.


    BTW: Do the SMS cars have as many SMS logos on them as the Saleen cars had Saleen logos? It was seriously a lot of logos.

    @Graverobber:


    The SN95 had kits developed for it because Ford did most of the legwork when developing an IRS for the Cobra. Since Ford decided to abandon the IRS setup from 2005 onwards, there has been no start for aftermarket companies to work with, and it may not have had enough perceived profit potential to develop a kit from scratch.

    So, Ford works to make the Mustang less cheap and plasticy, and Saleen just turns around and undoes everything?

    6-speed SMST manual on the top of the line 460X. In addition to engine output, handling, roadholding and braking play an equally important role.

    Well, this actually doesn't sound that bad. I'm actually looking forward to it.

    @hustler: Just do what Ford did for the IRS cobras, steal the IRS from the MN12 (89-97) Thunderbird/Lincoln MK VIII.


    It worked the first time.

    Frankly, all the aftermarket tuning houses bore the shit out of me. Roush, Saleen, even Brabus and RUF.


    It's like bringing out a new Ice Cream flavour, and then within a few minutes every company in the world wanting to tell you about a range of toppings it can sell you for it.

    @six: Vanilla is good. Walls, in the UK, had a Gino Ginelli range of Italian style Ice Cream, the Chocolate Mint chip had chunks of a minty candy in it. The tutti-fruitti was phenomenal also.


    Vanilla kind of destroys my whole icecream metaphor, as a broken up wafer or digestive biscuit is required to bring any sort of life out of vanilla ice cream anyway.


    Vanilla= Base model US Ford Focus.

    @Cognitive_Friction: I hadn't looked closely at Saleen's wardrobe, but when you mentioned a leather Members Only, I got excited. But, alas, it is merely some random collarless motorcycle jacket.


    I need a leather Members Only for when I drive the Fiero.
