Thanks guys I appreciate it! I love the black sc too! I liked the standard chrome finish as well but I couldn't turn my back on the "sleeper style" black finish. almost makes it look like OEM. if you don't know what a centri blower looks like it blends in very well!!

I think I am going to finish my modding my car very soon (for now until i find something else.... lol happens to everyone)
but I think I want to do
eagle eye tail lights (debating tinting, but if I did I wouldnt want it dark at all, just slightly darker then the way they come, any suggestions?)
jake skull floor mats and rear floor mat
jake hood liner
jake decal on A piller (not sure if that is correct, its the metal between the window and rear window)
maybe a jake exhaust plate
maybe jake shift ****
MGW shifter, after reading a couple posts on it a few minutes ago lol anyone have this?

So break it down for us. You have had a modded Stang and now a modded Vette. What are the differences you have noticed between the two good and bad?

You know, a ZR1 spilter would look nice on your car.

one thing i miss on the car is the exhaust, I will post a video of it but I absolutely loved it it screamed! the video doesnt do it justice on the sound at all. it ran a 8.6 1/8th mile off the bottle but on the bottle a 8.0 it was powerful never had it tuned but I would guess 420-450rwhp off the bottle not bad for a 4.6L but definitely not up to my SC corvette standard's haha.
it was the car i bought for myself my senior year of highschool and modded it all out in about 2 years and sold it for more than i had paid for it! haha
heres some pics of the stang, the last 2 with the louvers and green stripe is what the new owner has done to it.
the mods include:
Viper smartstart remote start
bama custom tune
jlt CAI
3.73 gears
pypes long tube headers
roush exhaust (uncatted)
Ford racing hot rod camshafts
zex wet nitrous 150 shot
AMR charcoal wheels
Nitto nt555 285 rear 265 front
dirty dog torque converter
