Well, my website at least

As I mentioned, I've documented all the mods I've done to date and will continue to do so in future along with their affect on performance. Vids etc. will appear shortly.

So if you're interested, or there's nothing on telly, or it's raining, or you're bored - have a gander

You'll be pleased to hear there's no adverts, no popups, just an account of my efforts.

Coding the site takes longer than modding the car! eek hehe

Here's the link: www.mustang-gtcs.info

Finish the rest of the mods

So far, it's taken 7 days to carry out the work - long days! God knows how much it would have cost to have someone do it!!!! eek Still, doing the work is half the fun to me.

Kev - can do you a good deal on a complete suspension/brake/exhaust package for a GT hehe

Hi Chris

Any update on how the car is going? Are you happy now with the performance and handling?

What other performance/sport cars have you driven, how would you say the Stang compares against other high performance vehicles such as the BMW M3, Porsche 911, Audis, EVO's etc?

I've driven quite a few cars including M3's and find now mine is all finished its rather sublime for cornering, there is so much grip and its so predictable.

Hi there

I am thinking of my next car purchase yes, but am hoping the Stang does not sell for at least 3 months as I really do not want to part with it, but I can't afford to run two performance vehicles unfortunately.

Aww mate. If there is anyone I can think of looking for a decent Mustang I will point them in your direction.
To be fair,I didnt see this coming especially after the Mustang vs Europe thread that got a bit personal. Thought you'd found your motoring nirvana.

Anyway good luck with selling the car.

Hi there

Well I am looking to test drive a C6 and Z06 soon along with a GT3 and 911 Turbo. To see how they compare but at the moment Z06 is looking favourite as its so much car for the money. Still just because I am advertising my Stang does not necessary mean its definetely going as I might always change my mind because I will do love the Stang. I've put a lot of effort into making it the car it is and the results speak for themselves.

Hi Andy,

Am on hols in the USA at the mo - hence lack of updates. Plenty of 'stang shopping though smile I've even got a V6 coupe as a rental - have been practicing drifting an auto which is fun (because that's the law of car rentals as you know wink )

With regards comparative tests, I've driven a lot of performance cars (I had two Ultimas remember), but I've not had enough 'saddle' time in the Mustang to be truly objective yet. Need a trackday for a proper test, then I'll post my opinions (with obligatory videos etc.!). ike all sports cars, it's the weight that will be the hardest thing to deal with.

Sorry to hear you're thinking of selling - it's a good car you've got there. As an aside, I reckon you've pitched it a little high pricewise, but good luck dude!
