Drop top time!

I took the Z out of storage last evening--it's gonna be nice and warm today and tomorrow. Now all I have to do is get it to the audio shop to add the stereo components I have purchased for it. I'm still deciding on whether to go turbo or s/c. S/C would be a lot less hassle and I'm not looking for ultimate hp, just about 90 more (Stillen s/c). More research to be done!

Nice. This is the main reason my next car will be a drop-top. Moving down to NC you can really use it. It's not like NY in the winter. There were many days since January that the temp was in the upper 60's to low 70's.

BTW, don't forget to take new pics

I can't DROP my top, but I can take most of it OFF.

I've only done it twice so far, but it's getting warmer every day.

TT is the way to go for ultimate power gains but you have to build up the motor to handle it and I don't feel like spending 10-12K total to do that. 500+ does sound enticing though

That guy has TONS of money and work into that car. It really is a sight to see. BUT, at the end of the day, it is still not that fast . . .

I'm waiting for warm weather. Last week it was nice for about a day...finally able to get a little work done on the mustang. Otherwise its rained over 20 days in March here, and its raining again today, and will tomorrow, and the day after that, etc.
