The only issue I have with the roll bar is that the backseats are now totally inaccessible for passengers. Even though the area is small, I can still fit two adults back there for a fun ride for 4 people on a nice day with mine, and I have the sports bar. I'm not willing to give that up, although the roll bar does allow you to bring the car to the track. Nice looker! Powerful! The only thing I prefer is the manual transmission. So much fun to "control" the car with a manual. Best of luck with it.

Yeah i hear you. i actually preferred the 6 speed auto but to each their own. As for the roll bar, I did it basically for the track and events since i was already told "don't come back without a roll bar" and that was at 758RWHP/ Now that i will be pushing 900, I needed to do it. I just told my wife, tell the kids its like riding a roller coaster with the lap bar...

Hopefully won't be long now. After a long wait and overdue time estimate, the built 416 engine is back and being put together as we speak. Will be going in with a new triple disc 3400 stall, custom cam, NW102MM throttle body, and 6L90 conversion transmission. Should be putting out some steam very soon then off to the tuner for what i hope is the end to this LONG road.

Finally, we have fire. Hopefully these last few items complete the build:

416 LME Motor
Pegasus 10 Rib pulley system
6L90 Transmission
custom grind SC cam
Nick Williams 102MM throttle body
Custom Transmission crossmember
triple disc 3400 stall
new driveshaft

Wish i could attach mov files. She sounds awesome.

Trying youtube.

She has a base tune in her now but is heading to the Dyno for final tune and break-in Friday. Estimates are somewhere around 900RWHP on the Mustang.
