I have given too much rape to m4a1, I must spread it around.

Stopped with our group at the end of "The Dragon," ZDayZ 2011.

So far I have FRPP "Sport" axle back exhaust, Steeda cold-air intake with SCT tune, GT/CS front valence and BOSS 302 splitter (not the LS).

I have yet to install the following parts which I have at home:

Steeda Sport springs
Steeda heavy duty strut mounts
Koni yellow adjustable shocks/struts
Fays2 Watts Link

The car on stock suspension is pretty awesome, and will be even better with the new goodies.







It does need new summer tires. I was originally planning on Michelin PSS, but because I have the S now I need to decide if I still want to spend that much on tires or perhaps go with Continental DW instead. The S also needs summer rubber (it's on all seasons right now). I could buy Conti DW for both cars for the same price as PSS for just the 5.0.

Right now it's sitting on Dunlop WinterSport M3s:

can you do a write up/review?

[m4a1mustang]

It's got killer brakes, tons of grip, and great balance. There's your write up.

does it handle as well as C&D says? Is it really as good handling as the 370z? Is the steering as bad as they say?

[m4a1mustang]

It does. And yes, it exceeds it in stock form. Better balance. Move along now.

How come you only give one line answers with no support?

What do you mean better balance? How is it even possible for it to handle better, especially when no one here agrees with you?

And you ignored the steering question.

Read the OP, then prepare for banhammer.

He doesn't need support, this topic has been covered multiple times. M4a1 has youtube videos of his stock 5.0 keeping up with a 370z with thousands in suspension mods on the tail of the dragon. The 5.0 with the brembo package is a monster.

Well now that this thread was bumped, I figure I'll update the S2k. I replaced the stock HU and speakers with a Kenwood KDC896 and Polk DB651s speakers and Polk Db1001 tweeters.

It's way better now. I can actually hear the radio.

Actually sounds pretty good now for a HU and a pair of speakers and tweeters.

Steve....people still bashing you for the 5.0? That's why my time on this forum has been limited. It ain't what it used to be. I spend more time on tms.

[m4a1mustang]

Yeah there are a bunch that still do. I have been cutting my time back as well.

I miss being able to casually discuss this stuff with you guys. TMS is too formal.

It's because he's a fgt and won't give me a ride in it with the new suspension.

kinda sad ain't it? what I don't understand is that we were former z owners. I guess that still does not qualify as to give an opinion of comparison to a mustang. funny stuff.

have you been enjoying your honda s2k too?

me too dan. where do you hang out now? I have done a few updates on marilyn since we last talked. You think tms is too formal? What do you mean?
