Congrats Tim!!!!
What? Yet another MACA car being sold??
- Thread starter TDoh
- Start date
It sounds like his car. I thought his had less miles on it. I know he sold it to a dealer just not sure what dealer. I'll ask him and find out. I got the vin off the web page for the car. If it is the car I'm talking about I can give you some slight history on it. Nothing bad at all.
I bought it from Twin Pine Auto, in Ephrata (near Lancaster PA). They didn't tell me the previous owner's name, but said that the guy was a friend with a stable of toys that was constantly changing...
There sure can't be much history to tell, good or bad. The thing is bone stock and was barely driven!
Well, since I just gained 50HP over my '03, there's really not much need for any performance mods for a while (famous last words, right?). I'll probably do a few appearance mods first...
The simple ones will be replacing the stock fuel fill door and removing a "Shelby" cover from the third brake light - the only two mods made by the previous owner! After that, I'll get it tinted of course, and probably put the louvers on the rear window. Been looking at exhausts on-line, but I'm kinda diggin' the factory sound right now. Oh, and I need to figure out a plan for mounting the front plate, too.
Jeez, I'd better start making a list already! :rollseyes
Ford Racing Stinger 2.5 Axle Back Exhaust [M-5230-5GT] - $545.00 : Evolution Performance, Performance Parts & Accessories - Ford Mustang & Shelby Experts
Best exhaust for that car hands down,and it sounds good with anything you might do in the future.

lol Thats good greg!
Tdoh excellent choice....so now I have a GT500 close to me! LOL!
I ain't sure what you guys are smoking but, GT500's need stripes...that's what makes them a GT500. Stripe Delete takes away the charcter! I used to be a stripe hater too but, this car needs them....They just look plain without them! However I wish the stripes were painted on not tape.
Yeah um..I said no mods this time either and in less than 6 months I have put $4300.00 into the car with another $7000.00 to $10,000.00 to go. Wheels, gauges, tint, blower upgrade and the mods to go with it...
I spent some of today detailing and hope to finish this weekend..and have the car ready for the MACA GTG! Hope to see your new beast there!

You think? I thought they were a bit quiet however that was in a sound clip. I would like to hear them in person.
Totally agree with you on the stripes, Mike. Here's my best argument...
Mr. Carroll Shelby thought they belonged on the car, and I don't really feel like I have the credentials to second-guess his design. But that's just me!
As for the exhaust, I also agree with Kent that the Ford Stingers probably have the best sound for the car, but I've decided to go with something quieter this time around. My '03 sounded too much like it was stretching itself to get past you with the Borla Stingers on it. I was thinking the Flowmaster American Thunder axle-back might be the one for me...something that is MUCH prettier than the stockers, but you won't hear coming for a 10 block radius, you know?
What do you think, Kent? Is this the pipe I'm looking for??

Very nice ride Tim. To bad you can't keep the 03 and the GT500.
Tim, it doesn't look like the top goes down. :shrug:?
They are pretty aggressive also . The magnaflow is a good choice if you dont want to wake the neighbors.
Mr. Shelby don't like quite!!! The Felby sounded awesome. You wont hear as much with the coupe. Stingers or Bassani!
Nice!
What? You're not gonna say SLP?
That's the only exhaust I heard you recommend in OC! :rollseyes
Listen to the blue vert at the 0:34 mark.
