It should be whatever they do stock since its the same powerplant (306 hp)

Although maybe the tuned exhaust adds a bit..... oh and the WING too

Great. Another perfectly fine import car destroyed by an aweful body kit.

This is for high-schooler's who don't own a wrench. The factory has already uglified the car for you. Just add your own stickers.

Hum..... I think I'll remove the "V" sticker from my rear fascia, and keep the radio cranked at stoplights. Maybe some poor schmuck driving one of those things will want to go- I'd love the chance to knock that wing down a couple of inches!

Sticker huh? C'mon man - nothing better than going low profile and not advertising - makes smacking them up even better

I need to drive with my windows UP more often - now people spot the gauge pod on the A pillar (which doesn't even have BOOST on it) and I am getting lots of 'you got a blower on that?" questions....

Hah!!
I had an older guy in a white Chrysler 300 start asking me about the Stang while we were each sitting in the drivethrough lanes at the bank

'What's in there?' <gesturing at the 281 side badge>

'factory 281....'

'what's that?'

'281.... cubic inches..... the 4.6 mod motor....'

'oh.... you have a blower on that?'

'....... yeah... sure do...'

'What are your numbers?'

'440.... to the rear wheels'....

<insert 300 driver pause and double take here>

'Oh....... I was gonna ask you if you wanted to race....'

Yeah, I thought the same thing but I figured I didn't mind advertising, because you can hear the blower at idle anyway lol!

I just had a guy last night try to race me driving a early 2000's Grand Am/Prix (they look the same to me). It had a big ol' wing and everything. It didn't work out well for him. Funniest part is I wasn't even really trying, we were on the interstate and 75-115 in 4th. If I really wanted to blow him away I would have started in 3rd, but 4th got the job done both ways.
