Welcome me to the club! :ford:

great pics...but are those generic black steel wheels? From a distance I can't tell lol :shrug:

Thanks for the pictures of my favorite sports car, The all new 2015 Mustang, MMD did at project 2011 V-6 went o to 60 in 4.3 seconds and 11.73 quarter mile speed with a automatic trans and a 4000 rpm stall converter 3.73 gears a BAMA 93 octane tune, and aluminum driveshaft. a performance suspension set up, drag skinny's up front, and 10" slicks out back, Plus at stage four a turbo charger was added.

The best Mustang Henry has ever built, Now with breaks to be competitive with the Z-28 Camaro. GM has always had bigger breaks because of the independent rear end. Ford Mustangs have always driven much better than the Camaro, the front steering is far superior to Camaro's steering. Now with all the new parts added for the 2015 stallion. And breaks as large as they want, Hell, this new Mustang beat our on Boss 302 lap after lap after lap. Why you ask? the small breaks went south on the boss mustang, after the first lap.

That 2015 Mustang and race red paint is hard to beat, I almost bought a 2014 base model "race red" with the stick and charcoal interior. The one thing I did not like, was the shift linkage and long throw shift lever. The stick movement was harsh to say the least. I missed third gear every time I speed shift the car. To go to third cleanly you had to let off the gas in order to find third gear, That's why I passed on purchasing the 2014 base model Mustang.

Man oh man, I'm so glade I waited for the 2015 mustangs, I could have easily shot myself in the foot with the 2014 Mustang. I'm all in for the next generation mustang, I want the 5.0 liter, but not for $10,000 dollars above the V-6. I do not want the four cylinder turbo, eco boost engine either. But I do know that if I follow the steps that MMD did with there 2011 V-6 mustang.

The 2011 MMD project mustang went through five stages of modifications to a rive at 0 to 60 in 4.3 seconds and a 11.73 quarter mile time. That will beat a stock 5.0 liter engine hands down. I would stop at stage 3 or so and running in the low 13's and high 12 second runs after dialing every thing in. I'm a naturally aspirated guy don't care for super chargers and turbo chargers. High 12 second quarter mile times for a six cylinder 3.7 liter no less is impressive in my eyes

With that said, I have already picked out the exterior color "White" and also the charcoal black cloth seats for the interior. Word is a 3.15 gear is standard and a 3.55 optional rear set. A real true to life sports car from the roof to the chassis, double ball bearing adjustable front end, Independent rear end with limited slip differential. Larger brakes all new shocks and springs and rubber bushings. The way the 2015 L@@k's is sick to say the least.

Now with all the new parts added for the 2015 stallion breaks as large as they want Hell this new Mustang beat our on Boss 302 lap after lap after lap. Why you ask? the breaks go a way on the boss mustang.

Glad to see you're on board and the patience paid off!

Two things: one, why isn't the EB model appealing to you relative to the V6? I don't see a whole lot of people talk the latter mill up here. Two, as much as I'd love to see the S550 compete with a Z28 in the braking department, it's almost physically impossible. The Zed is running on track-biased P Zero Trofeo Rs, which are essentially hyper putty. The stoppers are also massive CCBs. Since braking is largely dictated by weight and grip provided the brakes themselves have enough strength to lock them up, there's no way that an S550 could keep up. Small sacrifice to pay in the end.

Small sacrifice to pay in the end.

That is the main reason for the double ball bearing independent front and rear axel. The 2014 and back 10 years or so stopped making the independent set up until now. The whole reason for the all new s550 is to be able to use as large a brake set up as they want to use. With in the rules.

It's not only the diameter but largely the thickness of the disc rotors themselves. In the s197 there just was not enough room for good thick rotor use. That has all been in the design change with the s550. The wider frame gave what they need to move the wheels out ward and the necessary clearance needed for top line breaks.

You go to large in diameter and do not go taller wheel height, and the rpm of the rotor will be to high and thus cause even more over heating than with the old s197 package. Rules and via weight Tire and wheel height verses disc diameter and thickness.

One of the most important things that if done correctly will either make or break the rotor disc where pads meet the disc. A low speed drill with a steel rotor brush to ruff up and maintain a good cross hatch patter on both sides of the disc. TechNet is needed to break in the brakes rotors.

We circle track racer call it heat sinking the rotors for racing, getting the breaks hot yes but not over heated and let cool all the way to the out side air. This is done several times to harden the disc and the pads to hold up and not warp during a 100 lap feature race.

Everything done to the s550 was with intent to bull whip Z-28 ass. Now even with a lot less horsepower needed the handling will win out over Horsepower every time. The s550 GT now comes with the Cobra jet brakes from the factory.

I'm pretty sure the GT PP will be competing with the 1le not the z28. The z28 while heavy is extremely fast around the track. It's more of a job for the GT 350. The S550 isn't some miraculous new design. It's just a modern one, that the mustang needed very much.

Not to be prude but will or can someone please decrypt the last?

Agreed and I think it will beat the 1le.

That's a true statement for sure, but like I said the who ideal was to whip up on the Z/28 according to Ford higher up. I was commenting on Factory race car where you are limited to strict rules and all have to pass a tech and have to be as such factory muscle cars you and can drive off the show room floor.

My bad for not making my clarification on the class of racing the s550 and the Z/28 Camaro would and does compete in. And yes the GT 350 in that class for sure would be the GT 350 chasses and arrow body kit's they are allowed to run.

My love for the Mustang is by far the factory race or high performance cars that you and I can buy right off Henry's show room floor. I like to leave the package that Henry Ford built when it was built. Nothing changed at all ever. If I keep the car long enough is stock form you know what it would bring at an action!
