Hmmm......


And your car looks awesome with the fascia painted like that. I would suggest dropping the factory fogs out though. Leave 'em open holes for air flow. Your car needs tints now too haha. Man if I were to get GB, it would end up looking very similar to that!

So is that the Dynomax exhaust on yours, or still stock?

If I get one I will be swapping all the chrome trim out for the Police Package black trim, along with the black honeycomb grille! Not sure if I'd go Atlantis Green or Tuxedo Black though. I do know, however, that I'd be swapping the stock wheels for a set of the Flex EcoBoost wheels (twin 5 spokes that sorta resemble the original SHO fanblades IMO) and a set of the blacked out Police 18s for when I'm feeling extra stealthy !

Gotcha. Haha yeah just hoping you'd take them out with the airflow comment. I think it would look sinister...JMO though. Still looks awesome and sounds good too. Can't wait to hear the Dynomax wake it up even more!

They really need to get an exhaust on that SHO too...it's SO quiet, especially in the other vids of it by itself.

I don't know what your rear end ratio is, but seems like time is lost in 1st shifiting to second. Not your driving, that was great! But as to winding up so fast while the Taurus kept pulling.

Gets us back to my hunch that 3.73's are too steep for the 6 spd.
