[QUOTE="ducatipaso, post: 8241274, member: 644396"] As for the motor in the Mustang " I think" it has 320 to 330HP its never been on a dyno for fine tuning, the mustang weighs about 2700lbs. the power is being sent thru a upgraded but still stock type T5 manual *****. The ***** bolts to the bell housing with four bolts and its broken those 4 mounting taps that the bolts go thru. The rear dif is a locker with 4.11 gear. The rear tires size { diameter } plus 4.11 gears & the motors spinning at 6000 to 6500 rpms means it has a estimated top speed in second gear of 80 to 90 mph - at least that is what I am told. When auto crossing you kind of just shift into second gear and keep it their for the rest of the course. The rear differential / suspension has coil-overs and a part called a torque arm, when the Mustang is given gas instead of it trying to lifting the nose and transfer the weight to the rear wheels the whole car squats and is pulled / pushed down by the forces that would have other whys lifted the nose. Ha Ha Ha the fiberglass doors have no window parts in them at all and the opening the windows would have slide up thru has been glassed over, so those fiberglass doors would be a blank slate for a stereo install. I still need to do more research on the system for my C70, I removed the center dash a/c vent to take a look behind it and as much as I would like to install a pair of mini subs front & center, making a 3inch by like 9 panel for three gauges, and then wrapping the panel with something blue so that I have a snug fitting gauge panel might be a better option for me. among other things my planned Volvo S60R spaceball shifter install is going to be much more complicated then I had planned, my C70's center console is a inch lower then the S60 center console and the spaceball shifter needs that extra height for it to work properly. That means I would have to swap consoles and trim my dash for it to fit, I would also have to swap the parking brake handle and a steel tunnel that the parking brake handles mounts to, but in the end I would have the spaceball shifter and a better set of cup holders.
