New guy with a i guess not so hot roddish car

Hello, from Sugar Land, Texas.

HOSS429 told me about this place. I've been looking around and joined a few days ago. It's pretty cool and i like this place from what i've seen.

I drive a 2001 Mustang GT, mildly modded. Lemme just quote the mods from another forum i frequent.

Quote:

---

FRPP 4.10 gears, K&N CAI, Summit UDP's, Rear end rebuild (Trac Lok and bearings), Bassani O/R X-Pipe, Flowmaster mufflers, SCT Xcal3 American Muscle 93 octane performance tune.

---

It's also about to be lowered 1.5" in a few weeks or less.

Now that i got this mod motor stang, i realized how much more it costs to buy 2 cams than just one, and now i wish i got a pusrod 5.0 notchback or something that's cheaper to mod :)

so anyways, here are some pics, and once again, hello.

Welcome! Theres a diverse group of people here, but the common thread is we are a hot rodders and gear heads...so if it makes noise and goes fast we all want to know about it.
Enjoy the forums!

Well, good to see a fellow Texan around here! I think you will like this club. There are many very knowledgeable guys here that are especially helpful. It's made my project much less of a headache. Anyway, nice ride man; Welcome

Welcome to the forum. My Son Don had an 03 Mach I that was red and looked a lot like yours. He really regrets getting rid of it, loved that car. Ford really did a good job on these Mustangs.

Looks like a Hot Rod to me! Welcome to CHR, need all the Ford guys we can get here, we're terribly out numbered!!!!!

Welcome....and you certainly don't need to appologize! If you like it, that's all that matters.

One of the great things about this group is that there are lots of people on here, who like lots of different things. What is even better is that they understand that we all have the "love of modified cars" in common.

Welcome.

Thanks for the comments!

What Dave said +1. Hot Rods come in many forms, that what John Force calls his Mustangs and how can you argue with him? I think it's great that we have some late model cars that folks can have fun with. Yours looks sweet and I bet it will snap your neck back too!

they make artificial rust that you can spray on it .. then put some of those fake cracked glass stickers on it and it will be a " beater " .. naw !! what everybody has said .. if it`s fast and loud it`s a hot rod ..

if i could get traction with the 4.10's and terribly worn rear tires then i'm sure it could snap my neck back as well :D

my rear tires are way too worn. I'll have to buy some new ones.

I think it's making less than 260 RWHP. Still it's suposedly supposed to get me to 60 in 5-point-something seconds, but that's probably with a good skinny driver and a manual transmission :LOL:

Haven't been to the drag strip yet.

Welcome, sure looks like a hot rod to me! But I've always been kinda partial to Mustangs.

but Don doesn't he have a yellow C5 vette now? I wouldn't regret that one bit! :LOL:

If i was to trade my mod motor stang for something with an LS in it it would have to be a 98-02 Trans Am or a GTO with one of those 6.0 LS whatevers in there.

But if it were a 4v mach 1 i'd keep it :D

Interstingly enough, there are quite a few Mustangs that have had LS motors swapped into them.:3dSMILE: Then you have best of both worlds.
