I was at the muffler shop today getting rid of the stock resonators and got to see a new 5.0, m6 Mustang and talk to the owner. The car is nice in person, very sleek but does have a few things I personally don't care for and has been mentioned on the forum here. The outside looks good and better then the previous version but the rear end doesn't work for me and the tires look way to small but not sure how big of a wheel/tire you could fit in there. On the inside the plastic has a rougher appearing, larger pattered look to it and so do the leather seats, but other then that pretty nice.
The car was silver with silver wheels and that combo looked more like a rental car, the owner agreed and wished for a different color but for 31k not a bad deal at all! He also said he wished he had gotten the A6 and not the M6 as the A6 has been beating him at the track, he has a hard time getting the car to hook up and he didn't sound like a novice either. As to power he dyno'ed stock and got 363 rwhp. He added a dynomax axel back, modded the airbox and deleted all cats and got 404, but today put the cats back as the car was way to loud and added a 3" x pipe mid section to the car.Odd thing here is he said the stock exhaust was 2-7/8" after the cats but narrowed to about 2-1/4" then back up to 2-7/8"
Very odd.
the car sounded good at idle, not loud, and fantastic when revving it up
Oh yes, the car comes stock with shorty headers also so his system is done.
One last note we talked about the group here and how we all help each other out and love the car, he liked that and he said, and his opinion of course, not only do alot of Mustang people hate Camaro's and Chally's but worse they hate each other more! Always out to get each other or race all the time but I guess not in a good way, been seeing that since the 80's
