If the mustang is a second car than go for it. But it doesnt sound that way. Good luck and let us know how it turns out
Not true.

Yea it takes money, and the vette has the advantage, but it possible to have an 800hp daily driver stang, look at the latest, maybe last mm&ff mag, the saleen look a like in the back, that guy cruises that stang around quite often, except in the rain because of the e.t. streets, but with proturbokits around, we are getting some unbelievable #'s from street driven stangs, yea i realize these guys make kit's for f-bod's and vettes as well, it all comes down to money, but the corvette's will shatter a rearend before a mustang will with all this boost, at the track i still think the stangs got it sowed up...jmo

edit: this guy i mention, his car has gone through some changes, but i reemeber seeing it at the track knocking off 11.0's on drag radials, at some crazy mph, and his car had a.c and t.v screens in it!! if i remember it was 3400+ lbs, or something like that, it's now a c6 auto, he was breaking the tremmec's.
