But if you buy the Pod yourself ($85) you can add three separate guages for $55-85 each.

It would be a PITA drilling the dash, though. It'd be a lot easier to go with an A-pillar setup.

Roush also offers a pretty nifty air vent pod, which would fit right in the driver's side vent.

Yeah, I get that. Im also never wiring gauges like that again. Too much work.

Yeah, if I do it I'm going to do something like that vent guage or an A-pillar replacement. So much easier.

I vant this, btw: AeroForce Mustang Single Interceptor Gauge (05-12 All) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!

yeah those gauges are reminiscent of the Z gauges...

Where does the wiring go on the Roush pod?

Through the vent. I'll have to look up a DIY somewhere.

GZ3, 3.9 gears?!?!?!?! Where do you get that from? Is that a Ford OEM part?

Excel by Richmond 3.90 Gears (11-12 GT) - Richmond F88389

these bad boys feel great man....with the 7500 rev limit there are easily doable...cant imagine the 4.10 guys...i think these are the Ideal gears for this car IMHO

I clean mine with a soft MF towel. If there is dust on the surface lightly dust it off, then clean with whatever product you use. Light pressure, too. I do that for all clear plastic surfaces.

250+ lbs lighter than current (so 3,350lbs maximum)
Smaller exterior dimensions
Direct Injection, probably rated 450hp
IRS

Ford also says it will NOT have the pure retro-style, but will definitely look like a Mustang.

/\ looking forward to it, that's gonna be one nasty ride!

Love seeing cars get better and better, stuff like this forces all the manufacturers to up their game. :tup:

I caught my wife actually looking up GT500s today. I think she interested in me getting one.
