Oh, sheesh, :doh I completely brain-paused on the passenger-side air intake :o How much boost you running?



HID headlights?



And heh heh...yeah, my Panther is traction-challenged too.







Heh heh, given *your* MM, I bet you think it needs *big* brakes ;)

Cool, that's a little more than I'm running on my puny ol' 2V.



But mine's running such skinny tires that I want to joke that all I can smoke are my own radials :o

Someday I might have to see if some BBK will fit behind the oe 17s. I was pleasantly surprised by how much braided ss lines helped though, never expected such an improvement. Gotta get a g-meter in the car and get some real numbers, but it's very different from stock.

Yikes, what size rear tires are you running with that?!?



I'm only running 235/55-17s, but I'm traction-limited to the point where the car's probably overpowered with just 355 RWHP. I've even considered changing the 4.10s that the previous owner installed! Avoiding wheelspin in first-second can be a bit of a challenge under some conditions even with the "moderate" power I'm making, and I have to watch that 1-2 shift in the wet...having over 430, gee...
 
Somebody (like your's truly, I guess) oughta start a Panther Platform Thread, maybe in the Car & Driver forum :think: Heh heh, I think this is another series of cars where people pretty much either, uhm... get it, or don't, much like the old GM b-bodies.
