Well you can techincally get ALL of the Rosuh parts and put them on yourself if you like modding.
In the future i'm planning on adding BOSS 302 front chin spoiler with Saleen grille and either Roush or GT500 rear valance. That will pretty much be it as far as body goes. Then i would like to add some nice wheels where i can run something crazy like 285 in the back ! And to finish it off a nice kit of Wilwood Big Brake kit or Roush and i'm DONE !
The problem is I NEED TO SELL MY TC ! And i definately need to sell my SSR type F and STANCE coilovers !
P.S. Over the weekend installed my Roush exhaust. Thanks to Prototype_XB for helping out and allowing to use his garage and tools ! this thing SOUNDS MEAN !

All videos were take by a cell phone so sound quality is NOT the best, but you can definately get an idea !

I was waiting on props for using my garage at midnight, hahaha.
Those videos do it no justice. It has a semi-calm crank, idle, and cruise but when the hammer comes down it a nasty throaty roar.

Roush sells the axle back u got for 05-09 GT's (which will fit my 500). I want them so bad but i cant justify putting roush on a shelby, ha.

285 is weak. 305 or bust! 325's on 10" (6.5" backspace) wheels look beast!

haha i think props in person matter MUCH more then some typed words on the forums, lol..and i'm pretty sure i gave you props in person ;)
I dont even know if 305 tires will fit on my car ! Lol.. for real they fit and no rubbing ?
WHEN i sell my tC and parts for it. I will throw $5-$6K towards paying off the mustang and will spend few grand on some mods.
I was thinking about Roush suspension kit i think it's like $1300 and it's exact same thing as they put on 5XR and it's guaranteed by Roush to pull 1G in lateral accelation on the skid pad..( i think thats right ) Check their website just in case.
And THEN i was thinking about getting some wheels with 255 upfront and something big on the back !
after that i was thinking about Wilwood or Saleen Big brake pckage for the front's. For some reason Saleen BBK is only $1300 i wonder why ? It's 4 piston calipers. Anyway and i think that will conclude any modifications and the next big thing i would want is Roush or Ford Racing supercharger towards when the warranty runs out and i'll be done with it. I like how there are not many things to do to get in to 500+ WHP. I mean a S/C will get me to 540+ with basic set up. It's crazy and i think Roush give a warranty on their products thats why i'm leaning towards them.
I'm just not sure about durability of the engine to be honest with you. From reading the boards ALOT of people hear some kind of tick from the engine after the first oil change. Weird right ? Ford's solution to that is some kind of additive to the oil that stop the tick. I hope it's nothing major.
Don't be so brand specific, lol... If you like it the get them ! lol.. As long as they sound sick and you enjoy them who cares ?But actually that's right don't get them ! Lol.. Otherwise your Shelby will sound very close to my 5.0 !

My back and front wheels are 18x8.
Once i sell my car, SSR's and Stance coilovers i would like to purchase some deep dish 19x9 front and 19x10 rears or the same specs but in 18's, but i would prefer in 19's to clear future possible BBK's.

How about Forgestat F14 or F14F in flat gunmetal ?!
F14 no lip
F14F with a lip.
and on a sad note!
I hit 10K miles yestarday !
I love driving the car and pretty much all of those miles are straight up highway and are not that bad for the vehice, BUT i hate seeing how i'm racking the miles up sooooo fast.
10K in 4,5 month!

Yup and then add a blower for $5k and spend 1k on suspension and better tires with wider wheels and you are pretty much smoking ALOT of other cars...
but just a blower will put you to 600WHP on a good custom tune at 7-7.5 psi !
