Re: Anyone in Delaware/Eastern Maryland?
I almost want to get rid of it, but I'm not sure, since it's a very good foundation for a project. Only rust I've seen is near the battery tray, has been just sitting in my garage since 2008. Completely torn down right now.

Re: Anyone in Delaware/Eastern Maryland?
Running better than ever man. I'll try to remember all of the stuff that's been done to it since we raced.
New tires, built T56 swap, billet shift keys, solid forks, 26 spline input, Fidanza steel flywheel, Steeda Tri Ax short shifter, 03-04 Cobra aluminum driveshaft, completely redid the exhaust. When we raced I had a crappy BBK offroad X pipe that was leaking, and the old POS Flowmasters. Since went to a new Magnaflow catted X, and threw Borla Stingers on it. Damn nice exhaust system.
I've also got Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates sitting in the house for it, ordered Maximum Motorsports full length subframe connectors just on Thursday night, have a brand new Centerforce DFX in the house, Fidanza aluminum flywheel to replace my Fidanza steel, and a JLT ram air intake. JLT intake is PVC compared to the chrome-plated steel of my BBK intake, plus it's bigger. So, a bit more flow, minimal heatsoaking.
I'm sure you've seen, but on a hot day with just rolling it out, no launch, it's doing 5 second 0-60s. The T56 combined with 3.73s is really a good setup. This was still with my old leaky exhaust, and still with the steel BBK intake.

Plus for anyone else who's wondering if the Mustang is running good, lol, here's a 130+ MPH fly by from earlier tonight.

Yeah, 13 has way more hiding spots for cops, and too much traffic to pull stuff like that. That was on 113, at close to 1 in the morning.

Re: Anyone in Delaware/Eastern Maryland?
Northern DE here, just minutes away from the bridge actually.
Unfortunately, I'm thirdgenless right now (actually I don't have ANY performance cars at the moment). Just my daily driver 97' Saturn SC2 5speed, and my wifes 97' Regal GS (at least it's supercharged).
Hoping to get back into a RWD car soon. More than likely it'll be another thirdgen.

I finally picked up another RWD car, but it wasnt a thirdgen...
1999 FRC 6speed. Only mod so far is a Borla X-pipe. Boltons soon to follow after I get a good baseline at Cecil when the DA gets better

Re: Anyone in Delaware/Eastern Maryland?
Whoops, guess I put the apostraphe on the wrong side...
Side note: I may be picking up another thirdgen soon. I'm selling my '98 Z28 and with the funds I'm hopefully gonna score an '87 Trans Am with the TPI/5speed combo thats for sale locally. Can't wait to see what the old 305/stick car can do in the quarter stock with a good launch!

I was doing a delivery for work yesterday evening, about 20miles outside of wilmington I saw a silver camaro indy pace car...first time I had seen one in real life. Wish I had the chance to check it out more, as he was headed the opposite direction.

Not that I know of but I'm sure something could be worked out. I personally have 2 third gens and a few of my buddies have them as well.

Re: Anyone in Delaware/Eastern Maryland?
87' Z-28 with 383 Stroker. Still need to replace the heater core. Want to upgrade the rear suspension to eliminate the torque arm. What are some suggestions for exhaust? would like to keep it true duals. But what is too big for a 383 without ill affects?
