Nah, just need to remove 350lbs from the front and 50lbs from the rear and I'll be happy. *cough* Breaks out the saws-all.

This one is going to be a challenge that's for sure.

Are you creating a road racing project out of it, or a straight line (drag) car?

Congrats on the 350 - is it the R? Either way, I love the way that flat plane engine sounds (coming from a die hard LS guy).

Not the R unfortunately, just too much of a unicorn! I'll drive it to work when you pick up your ST and we'll take it out!

For this one not much. Just exhaust, intake, and lower it. It's my daily driver. I still have the blue hatch but I can't finish it so its up for sale.

I love mine! just have to be ok with not having power. they do keep you nice and tight in the seat and they look great. The standard seats are a bit more comfortable or easy to get in and out but i may just be overly cautious to keep mine lookjng great.

Anyone using an aftermarket shifter? I'm looking at an MGW or a Barton. Anyone have either one of these?

I have an MGW in my Shelby, and have had 2 before this one also. Obviously biased but those who have used both usually lean to MGW in my experience.

Ordered a Barton also, don't know if I am going to keep it or get a different shifter
 
Posted by TR1 (Member # 296) on :
 
I've never heard anything bad about the mgw or the Barton.
 
Posted by 1sickGT (Member # 9276) on :
 
I have the Barton and it feels great [Smile]
