Throw a GT500 rear spoiler on with a chin spoiler and some GT500 wheels and you will be set.

with those three things you can be half way to affording your turbo kit. besides . if you wanna go looks , thats just a waste of money .. go fast or go home.
lets try and stay away from the female perspective for awhile

The problem is the car looks like crap without them. The wheel selection is not attractive, the mutton chops are plain ugly and need the chin spoiler and without the GT500 spoiler the rear is a disaster. So why drive around in a fast ugly car? Even a girl knows that. Turbo's are for rice a roni heads.

if you need a car to get women, you probably need to step up your game. I dont think the front end needs any work at all. hell the v6 has a great front end. the back isnt the greatest, but it isnt horrendous. looks arent everything. if i had the money, id have the shittiest looking 10 second fox around. Why bash on the turbo? sure its used alot in foreign cars, but does that make it inferior? sure it isnt muscle, and doesnt look as good as a polished KB, but it gets the job done

I definatly dont need a car to get women!!! i wasnt refering to a woman's perspective like you think. all the ford reviews have said that ford made the 2010 to draw in the women market with its easy drivability and new design interior. thats all i was saying about that.

and as far as turbo goes. turbo's are kick ass on V8's period... yeah super chargers get the power low end however cannot be boost adjusted inside the car when wanted. ill turn a knob and kick ass when i want! just stop hating on turbo's . we are not driving 4 bangers

Hello 2010_LS1H8R,

Yes the new 2010 AIRAID Intake is a great bang for your buck!

The Overall Quality of Components, Fit & Finish, and Performance are 2nd To None!

The AIRAID Intake is Made in the USA, Does Not Require Any Tuning, and is Backed by our Industry Best Lifetime “No-Hassle” Warranty!

You should only have to purchase a “Tune” if you want additional performance, a “Tune” should not be required to make the CAI work properly.

Thanks,
David

Hi, Forum noob here...Macmovieman, that looks like some great ideas man. So far for my 2010 GT ragtop (automatic btw) I've done the following mods:
1. Got the Pypes SS Violator Cat backs first (sounded ok, but I wanted more, lol) $300
2. Had the Pypes X pipe with high flow cats installed (the sound definitely improved after that

There were some fitment issues so I'm glad I had the pros install it $380
3. K&N filter on the stock C.A.I. (Can't remember the exact price)
4. Tonight my SCT tuner finally arrived. I loaded the tune and took off down the road. Wow, it really launches and shifts better now. A noticeable increase in power too. $380 w/tune I bought all of the above from American Muscle.
Some videos of the car:

I think I did pretty good for the money, forum? Waddayathink?

I priced a Ford Racing Cam (800ish), labor (400ish), damn, I've got to do it. I've listened to a lot of Utoob vids with this very cam and... I wouldn't care if it didn't pick up any more horses. The look from people, seeing a new car with that sound would be priceless. The parts and service people at my local Ford dealership seemed pretty clueless as to what I wanted. The parts guy caused quite a bottle neck in the line of customers (que). He did not know anything about cams, regardless of the year. I know I'll need yet another tune just to make this idle right. The parts guy never even brought that up. I want this sooooo bad. Loog loog loog loog, wrap ouuuuught

Can you post a video with the same cam and the sound? I would love to hear it.

n2dablue · January 4th, 2010, 02:13 PM

i disagree all the car is great without having to look like a gt500 and nothing wrong with turbos either " there are alot of rice of ronis" that actually respect the mustang so dont get to high and mighty
