If I do go ahead with new rims, POTR will get a nice deal. I wont have any use for huge rims/tires in my garage. Space is money, lol. Anyone have other pictures of the CS69 on other cars? Bill, since you were the original, got any cool pictures you want to share?

I like the gay looking biker men. I don't understand people sometimes, lol

Now I'm in the early stages of research... Bear 14" 6 piston brake kit with the rear rotors at 13". Or Brembo's 14" kit, stock rear. Or somehow mix the brembo with the bear rear kit. Or Stoptech/AP racing? Any good suggestions? Not sure where to begin

I'm hoping that leads to this.


Luis I'll be chatting with you this weekend.
I'm a little late with this post, hard to keep up but take if from a woman... get all your mods prior to marriage because things change after you say I DO

As long as my car is ready... (at dealership for a brake issue)

I plan on pre-meeting @ 281 motorsports then heading to Cars & Coffee after which the OC Scenic Cruise will begin.

Brian's got the best 'on car' shots below.

Also if you go to the Shelby wheels website, there's a photo gallery, but not many of the CS69s.

you guys ever have a day where you feel like a total moron.

from the start at work, i was forgetting simple stuff, etc.
then when I left, I was heading home, and in the other lane of US 52, there was not one but three modified Mustangs, which is incredible for my area, it's rare enough to find one, but three, and modified!, then I saw another, and one on a trailer, and my bad day was getting better...then I realized, that like a moron I forgot that








IT'S MUSTANG WEEK!

too bad I'll only be able to go to Thursdays drag night, I'm taking the week off next year

We don't have that in SoCal, but seeing a 'personalized' stang around here is pretty common.

Opinions wanted on the following.....

After Friday night at the track I looked at my rear brake pads and noticed they wearing down alot faster than my fronts. I wonder why. Obviously due to the burnouts. So with that said I'm looking into line locks. The question though is should I or shouldn't I upgrade to SS brake lines. I don't really care for "improving brake feel" etc... Some of the guys at S197 forums told me they've been running their line locks forever with no problems. So the question is what would you do/recommend?

Leo, in my opinion and I would probably be crucified for saying this on "other" forums....... but SS brakelines are a waste of time on these cars. IN MY OPINION.

Still doesn't really make sense. "Only negative would be the cost"??? So your saying the only negative of not getting the SS brake lines with the line locks is the cost??

No. Thought about it many times, but since my is blown and has 4.10s, smoking the tires from a stand still in 2nd gear is easy even with having to work the gas/clutch/brake at the same time.
