Yes, but I admit nothing on the Gen 3. :)
He also didn't have a 2R, it was a ported/welded Gen 2.
Car runs hard, shows what us Foxbody racers can do with an S197 :)

Wow ok... I swore he tried the R at some point?

I guess not.

I do know he’s been 150 mph (or damn close if I remember right) which is crazy.

Good shit!

We’ve had it to the track. Doing work with the smaller pulley and 160 TB. As in new PB good.
We will both be at Mod Nats this year.

Were the rims powder coated to match the paint or is that the stock rim? I thought the stock rim was a little lighter in color.
Stock Base wheels are, in fact, lighter in color. BiminiLX had his one-of-a-kind wheels coated by Helios (Ford's OEM provider) in the Performance Pack color which is actually a little different than Sterling Grey.

Correct. I always preferred the base wheels so I swapped my SVTPP wheels out for them, but that lighter color didn't work for my car.
I used the Helios document posted by Snoopy or a few others and tried to have them matched locally. After several failed attempts (only the OEM coater Helios can replicate this finish) I had them (6 wheels, two of the 20s were widened to 20x11) all taken to Helios here in Ohio to be coated in OEM SVTPP color.
Helios was awesome to work with and the darker SVTPP is actually the same process as the lighter base but the SVTPP gets several more of the tinted coat.
Long story, I have a lot of work in these wheels but they look killer especially on my SGM or darker cars.
Bummer the car now makes too much power to run rear 20s and I'm trying to decide on a new 19/18" set.
I'm trying to arrange buying the next set raw and sending direct to Helios to keep the color.
Yes, my wife confirms my crazy.
She also hated rolling 60mph burnouts, so traction is needed :)

Thanks Everyone, I appreciate the compliments.

Dinosgt- the Springs are Eibach Sportline springs w/BMR Adj Panhard bar. I thought it would be to low for my taste but it' not and really like the Springs.

Thanks sir. I heard those springs are pretty stiff - so I went with the pros. But I still think they sit too high. Yours looks on the money.

How does it ride? My geriatric rear end cant handle too much teeth jarring stuff...

Very responsive and simewhat stiff but I dont do long trips.
It doesnt hurt my back at all. I kinda like the feel-response from the road to be honest.

When i bought the car stock in Texas and drove back to S.C I was a little stiff frim 2 days on the road but that will happen with any sports car like this.

I really liked the Pro Kits but just wasnt enough drop for me.

Are you running spacers on the rear with your PP wheels???

Car looks great BTW, nice stance and I'm contemplating dropping mine.
